How does plant lighting work?

Plant lighting uses special light sources, usually LEDs, that emit light wavelengths that are optimal for plant photosynthesis. These light sources provide light energy that plants need to grow and thrive.

When is plant lighting needed?

Plant lighting is needed when plants don't get enough natural light, for example during the winter months or in spaces without windows.

How close to the plant should plant lighting be placed?

Plant lighting should be placed relatively close to the plants to ensure they receive enough light. Usually, a distance of about 15-30 cm from the top of the plants is recommended.

How much electricity does a plant light use?

The electricity consumption of a plant light varies depending on its type, size and power. Generally speaking, LED plant lights consume less electricity than traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs and are more energy efficient.

How long should plant lights be left on?

The time plant lights should be on depends on the type of plant you are growing and its specific light needs. Generally speaking, most plants need 12-16 hours of light per day to thrive. It is common to use a timer to control the lighting time.

How many lumens are needed for plant lighting?

The amount of lumens needed for plant lighting depends on the types of plants you are growing and their light requirements. Usually, it is recommended to choose plant lights with a light intensity of around 2000-5000 lumens for indoor growing.
