4 Reasons Tell You Why Horti-tube LED Grow Light Suits Hydroponic Vertical Tower

It is learned that the world is running out of usable land for crops. Future human depend on growing food differently. So human do everything in their power to make full use of vertical space to enlarge planting area. Vertical tower planting is a planting form that different with vertical seeding bed planting, which also use less water and land to produce lettuce and other leafy vegetables. Now most of vertical planting towers are placed inside to protect them against the harsh outdoor environment.

Growing indoor means that there is likely lacking of plenty sunlight to support the photosynthesis of crops.  Replenishing lighting  by using suitable led grow light  can effectively replace or supplement sunlight to promote the photosynthesis process of leafy plants on the vertical planting tower, and obtain the same growth results. 

There are many types of led grow light in the market nowadays. With the continuous expansion of market demand and research continues,  lighting manufacturers put a lot of their energy and resources into researching and developing various grow lights fit different plants like cannabis growing light, lettuce growing light, tomato growing light and so on. Although many grow lights developed according to the type of plants have obvious advantages for the growth of plants, there still exists a big difference between diverse light fixtures. what remains constant is all manufacturers set their minds on the same ultimate goal - to deliver the best possible product.

But, the best product doesn't mean the proper one.if the led grow light you choose is not so appropriate as you expect, it will be almost sure that you won’t believe this light can help you get the best growth effect for you. Improper lights will slow down the effect even waste the energy. with the same spend and cost, others, however, can get better results.

If you are preparing to choose suitable led grow light for your indoor hydroponic vertical tower vegetable planting. Here are four key reasons that will undoubtedly strengthen your idea to choose horti-tube. 

LEDs on both sides 

There are LEDs on both sides of luminaire, means that this light can light two rows of plants on the hydroponic vertical tower.  On the contrary, if routine led grow lights are applied. To get the same light effect there at least need to arrange two lights. And this virtually increases the cost of lighting fixture . 

 From the bottom to the top uniform irradiation

Vertical suspension can illuminate the whole leafy green tower from the bottom to the top. If you intend to install grow light on the top tower, it may be a unreasonable layout because, as for some high-density vegetables. The crops at the bottom of the hydroponic tower can't get enough light to help to grow. They will grow weaker and thinner than the vegetable on the top.

Optimal spectrum

Light is the energy source of the photosynthesis of plants. Light intensity, light spectrum and light cycle have a profound impact on the growth and development of crops, among which light spectrum has a complex relationship with plants' photosynthesis.The spectral design of LED grow light is the important technology support capability required for planting process, which is related to the harvest cycle  and the growth situation of crops. Horti-tube coming with optimal spectrum not only make vegetables grow well but also improve their taste and quality.

Easy installation 

If luminaire installation is fairly complex , this work will be nerve-racking and difficult.  Do-it-yourself installation can save labor costs, with fewer fee, lower hard and easier to do. Growers may prefer to look for a led grow light with easy installation method. Otherwise , they may be stuck with the high costs of mounting. When designing the led grow light, design engineer specially take installation into consideration, creatively adopt daisy-chaining and plug-and-play design to reach the goal of saving installation costs.
