iPower GLLEDXA180CUFO Multi-Spectrum LED Grow Light for Plant Growth and Flowering, 180-watt
With energy costs skyrocketing, the iPower LED Grow Light is the smart and easy choice for today's indoor and greenhouse growers. Rivaling the output of 1000 Watt Metal Halide and High Pressure Sodium lamps, the iPower LED Grow Light consumes up to 80 percent less power while providing your plants with the perfect blend of light for all stages of plant growth. 95% of the LED's light is absorbed by plants, compared to just 10% of traditional HPS and MH lighting. Plants grown under the iPower LED Grow Light produce lush leaves, big buds, and flowers. Like all our LED grow lights, the iPower LED Grow Light emits virtually no heat and does not require additional ballasts, reflectors or cooling equipment. The reduced heat allows for fewer watering cycles and the need for expensive air conditioning during the summer months. The iPower LED Grow Light is a plug and play grow light - it works right out of the box. This state of the art LED grow light is extremely energy efficient - it can save up to 80% in energy consumption compared to fluorescent tubes, HPS, and MH lighting. iPower LED Grow Lights are used by commercial growers, co-ops and dispensaries, nurseries, farms, home hobbyists, caregivers, and more.
Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) designates the spectral range (wave band) of solar radiation from 400 to 700 nanometers that photosynthetic organisms are able to use in the process of photosynthesis. Rather than give off a wide spectrum of unusable light like with traditional High Intensity Discharge (HID) systems, iPower LED grow lights are formulated with PAR wavelengths specific to plant growth, giving your plants exactly what they need. Although iPower LED grow light panels will have a much lower lumen rating than a comparable-wattage HPS system, the PAR rating will be much higher.
iPower LED grow lights are self-contained systems. Heat is no longer radiated, but is instead drawn into the integrated heat sink and cooled by its high efficiency fan. You may wish to use a small fan to simulate a breeze for plant strength, but no extra fan is required for cooling. This means even more savings on the power bill.
While LED grow lights may have a higher initial cost but because they must be replaced less often, the result is less expense over time.
LED lights last longer than fluorescent and HID Lighting, producing less waste. Fluorescent and HID light quality declines long before the bulb burns out and generally must be replaced once a year. iPower LEDs have a 50,000 hour rated lifespan.
