The horticultural LED according to growshops.fr, your online horticultural advisor.

growshops.fr presents you in its vast online catalog, ramps or spotlights of horticultural LEDs, available in its department: Horticultural lamp.

By definition, the Led, translation of the English light-emitting diode (LED) or light-emitting diode (LED) is the lighting via multiple diodes. Invented since 1907. The diode is a device that emits light when an electric current flows through it in one direction. The process is based on the emission of a photon. And so the Led technology was born.

Having appeared on the indoor horticulture market more than a decade ago, LED horticulture is now the most coveted and appreciated modern lighting technology in the field of indoor cultivation.

However, for more than fifty years, the indoor horticulture market was dominated by the use of hPS (and MH) lamps and the turbo-neon.
And more recently, this same market has diversified and expanded to include cFL bulbs and T5 ramps.

But currently, the horticultural LED is becoming very popular. Indeed, there is a real justified craze for the installation of LED horticultural.
So much so, that we can even observe a recycling of old lighting technologies among growers already equipped, in favor of the horticultural LED (!).

The new LED modules are designed, light, plug and play and take up little space.

They are very effective for all phases of plant growth : from cuttings to flowering.

LEDs are more and more part of our daily life, some estimate that this technology will represent more than 75% of lighting in 2020.

You can find them everywhere, on cars, televisions, in decoration... and of course in horticulture, gardens indoor.

On growshops.fr, you can discover brands appreciated for their reliability and their spectral qualities on plants, producing horticultural LEDs that meet the latest innovations, such as Cultilite, IndoorLed, ...

What are the advantages of using a horticultural LED, according to growshops.fr?

In its infancy, the horticultural LED was not very appealing, due to its expensive price and the meager coverage it offered. Nevertheless, it had a promising future, given its high spectral efficiency.

Today, the technology of the horticultural LED has evolved well.

More or less like the previous generations, the horticultural LED still has the same efficiency of the light spectrum on the photosynthesis of plants, measured in P.A.R. units (= Photosynthetic Activ Radiations) and approaching 100% P.A.R. for some current models.

On the other hand, the horticultural LED offers from now on a very interesting price / performance ratio, strongly superior to the former generations.

Indeed, some versions of LEDs horticultural have controllers, allowing to vary the light intensity and to switch, change the colors of the light spectrum (measured in degrees Kelvin = K).
Thus, with this model of horticultural LEDs, the informed grower is able to adapt its light spectrum according to the needs of the plantations. the stage of culture (growth, flowering) where they are.

Think also to equip yourself with a programmer in order to switch easily between day and night periods. Plants are like us, they have a biological clock. The time of exposure to the light is essential for the growth and the bloom of your plants, especially in the case of a culture under box.

Also, the grower appreciates the horticultural LED for its low energy properties and especially with low heat emissions, allowing him to regulate more easily the climate of the growing space.

Finally, because its price becomes affordable, the indoor grower can reasonably select, access to models of horticultural LEDs with larger sizes and therefore better calibrated in relation to the surface of culture to cover.

Do not be afraid of the price, the LED is certainly expensive to buy, but it is quickly profitable for all the reasons below.

Beware, the light emitted by LEDs in horticultural lighting is harmful to the eyes, wear protective glasses to grow safely.

What models of horticultural LEDs should be installed in a growing area, according to growshops.com?

Like any other lighting source, it is essential to adapt the dimensions of the horticultural LED and its power, to best match the growing area to be supplied and thus obtain a luminous homogeneity which itself, generates increased productivity.

In this sense, apart from the power administered, it is important to understand that although the horticultural LEDs currently available are mostly equipped with COB that provide angles of light diffusion from 90 ° to 120 °, this technology with high light yields covers its own surface in an optimal way.

Therefore, growshops.co.uk will tend to advise to use spotlights or small strips of horticultural LEDs to illuminate growing areas of small volumes.

A LED can last more than 50 000 hours, and rid plants of heat stress. A led that gives off little heat, will require less ventilation for an optimal culture.

On the other hand, to supply homogeneously spaces of one square meter and beyond, it is rather recommended to install one or more large-scale LED ramps or powerful LED projectors, as proposed by the new ranges of Tarantula ramps and KingStar projectors, developed by the brand IndoorLed,
