Why use LED Lighting?
Benefits include energy savings; LED solutions demonstrate the potential to save 40% on electricity and studies indicate that LED-lit canopies can generate more yield per kWh.
Plant and crop performance; initial studies indicate growers using LED lighting may experience yield increases and changes in cannabinoid and terpene profiles, leading to more consistent medicinal product profiles from harvest to harvest.
Flexible light intensity; Many LEDs can be dimmed to adjust PPF level to suit crop and growth stage without changing spectral power distribution or losing efficiency.
Reduced HVAC; LEDs are highly efficient and a less wattage consumption means less heat released into the space, allowing for potentially lower HVAC loads and operating expense.
Safety; LED drivers are intelligent and feature full circuit protection including over/under voltage, short circuit and over temperature protection. LED drivers also feature auto-power increase/decrease to match the amount of light bars connected to fixture.
