Why We Develop LED Grow Light Hanging Vertically?

The advantages of led grow light 

Understand what is necessary for plants to grow - sunlight, air, water, etc. - and you will understand why light is essential. When plants cultivation move from outdoors to indoors, we really need something to replace or supplement sunlight, otherwise it is difficult for crops to grow healthily indoors. This may be also the original intention of the development for plant lamps- There is a demand, so it is to be developed. 

Things that don't have a lot of demand generally don't have development value. Whether plant lamps are worth developing depend first on what benefits it can bring to the grower. So what exactly are the benefits of led grow lights. we will explain in detail below.

From its purpose of providing light for crops, it is not difficult to conclude that the greatest benefit of plant lamps is to provide enough light for plants’ photosynthesis in places where there is no light or where light is insufficient.

There are so many kinds of lamps on the market, why is LED grow light recognized by the majority of users. It is believed that LED grow lights are superior to traditional lamps. Its advantages, to put it simply, can be summarized as the following 10 points.

• 1) consume less energy. One of the big reasons why investors, in the past, have been reluctant to invest in large-scale indoor farming is that conventional plant lamps used for indoor farming use a lot of energy. Investors have no confidence in investment and return. The application of  LED grow lights is different, as LED grow lights have a very obvious advantage, that is energy saving. This advantage provides an opportunity for the development of indoor planting, and also sets off an investment boom of investors for indoor planting.
• 2) release less heat. LED grow lights emit less heat. This allows it to be installed closer to crops without fear that it will burn them. Traditional plant lamps are more often installed on high greenhouse ceiling. while LED grow lights you can safely use for vertical stacked system for vertical farming, for small grow tents, for impressionable processes like marijuana cloning , even install in-between vine crops
• 3) lower HVAC cost. Because LED grow lights emit much less heat than traditional plant lamps. So growers no longer need to install so many HVAC equipment and pay huge electricity costs to regulate indoor temperatures.
• 4) high efficiency. An important examination of the efficiency of plant lamps is how much of the electrical energy is converted into photoelectrons needed by the plant for photosynthesis. The high efficiency of LED grow lights is the best proof that it is superior to traditional plant lamps.
• 5) spectrum customizable. Spectra largely determines the quality of photoelectrons a crop can receive for photosynthesis. Design as needed is the best solution .Most of the traditional plant lamps have a single spectrum, which simply cannot meet the needs of diversified photons. And the LED grow lights achieve this. You can induce plants by providing the right mix of red and far-red light, you can also add a small amount of UV light to the LED grow light to induce plants to secrete more of the compounds you want to extract, etc. The spectrum customizable  make LED plant lights more flexible than traditional plant lights.
• 6) long lifetime. Although LED grow lights have a higher initial cost, LED plant lamps have a longer life and lower energy consumption than traditional plant lamps.
• 7) excellent waterproof performance . The waterproof rating of led grow light can be up to IP65. excellent waterproof property allow it to function well long term at the relatively humid indoor planting environment without worry.
• 8) recyclable and environmentally friendly . Conventional plant lamps , such as HPS and MH, contain mercury. These lamps will give off poisonous gas when damaged. LED grow lights, on the other hand, contain no mercury.  Though they may contain other heavy metals, they are solid-state lighting. the diodes are usually very small and have a low risk of rupture. Compared to traditional plant lamps, LED grow lights are recyclable and environmentally friendly
• 9) handy and intelligent control. The addition of intelligent control enables spectral tuning, lighting dimming, lighting schedule, and real-time observation. With smart controls, the grower can control led grow lights remotely. Some controls can even be done directly on app of a smart phone
• 10) easy to install . The installation of most LED grow lights is so simple that you don't even need to hire another installer to do it. you just need to connect them one by one .

LED grow lights that suit for different structures

LED grow lights come with different shapes and designs.and they are separately suited to different planting framework. There are three common planting frameworks. 

In fact , we found that vertical hydroponic tower planting is a frame that is different from the three frames mentioned above. The existing grow lights do not fit the requirements of vertical hydroponic tower planting frames. And for trailing crops, the application of led interlight should also consider whether the coverage area of the light is large enough. So why not design a more appropriate one?

Why we develop led grow light hanging vertically ?

For planting framework like vertical hydroponic tower, if you want to make sure that all the plants on the vertical hydroponic tower get even and abundant lighting to photosynthesis. A led grow light parallel to the tower,shines erectly in the direction the tower,is undoubtedly very appropriate. 

While as for high-density vine crops like tomatoes and cucumbers , they tend to grow very tall reaching more than 2 meters or even 3 meters. And their foliage is interwoven with each other. If it’s just supplementing lighting on the top, it’s hard for light to penetrate the dense foliage to the lower parts of the plant. and the same thing happens on cannabis cultivation. But if you use a vertical hanging led grow light it is a different story . because this lighting fixture can provide adequate light for the plant along with the direction of the plant growth.

Based on the requirements above ,we thought it was necessary to develop vertical hanging led grow light to meet the needs of production.

The characteristics of this vertical installation led grow light 

Our new vertical hanging led grow light comes with a series of excellent features. They are

• Four-sides LEDs, 360°emit lighting .
