How to Maintain led grow lights.

Why Clean

There are a number of significant reasons why you should frequently clean your LED grow lights, including poor yields and safety concerns. Additionally, since LEDs don't require annual bulb replacement, it becomes much more crucial when growing with LEDs. An LED growth lamp might illuminate your garden for the ensuing 10, possibly 20, years without the need to repair a single component due to its exceptional lifespan. Those lights have had plenty of time to accumulate grime.

How To Clean

 

To clean your best LED Grow Lights, all you need to do is dab a microfiber cloth with isopropyl or rubbing alcohol and gently wipe it over the diodes. Start by applying a small amount, as more can be applied later if needed.

Make sure always to apply gentle pressure, as too much pressure can damage the diodes. While at it, make sure to clean the dust off the other components of your lights, which will include the frame and driver.

If you’re having trouble finding instructions on how to clean your LEDs, try looking up cleaning instructions for the diodes/PCB board. Many LED grows light makers source their diodes from Samsung and Bridgelux. If still no success, in most cases, isopropyl alcohol, along with canned air (make sure to keep upright), make for the safest light cleaning agents. In this case, perform a pre-test on a small portion of the light to ensure your cleaning solution isn’t damaging to the light.

How To Care

Besides regularly cleaning them, there are a few things you should do when handling them to keep them in tip-top shape. 

  1. Except for mainly the frame, use caution when touching the lights when in operation.
  2. Avoid touching the bulbs, diodes, PCB board, or any other circuit components with your bare hands or any sharp object.
  3. For thinner LED fixtures like Quantum Boards, refrain from bending them or applying moderate pressure. 
  4. Avoid pulling on wires or making any electrical fixes on the lights when they are plugged in. 
  5. When not in use, store your light in a location sealed off from dust and high-traffic areas.

Grow Room Vs. Grow Tent

     In order to keep their initial grow safe and manageable, many beginning gardeners start their quest with grow cabinets and grow tents.   The choice you choose can have a significant impact on the maximum yield one can accomplish with their equipment. Each of these two solutions has advantages and disadvantages.   Stealth and security of your grow   Grow cabinets have the capacity to blend in with their environment, which is a significant advantage over grow tents. Stronger security measures are also possible for them.   Cabinets are more effective at keeping out intruders than grow tents, which only have basic zippers for the doors and windows to close since they are sturdy and frequently have hinged, lockable doors.   The majority of grow cabinets blend in seamlessly with normal metal storage cabinets so they won't stand out in a garage or storage area. Additionally, they are extremely light-tight, so no light will leak o...

Your Manual For Lighting Plans

  LIGHT PLANS: PRINCIPLES Let's first talk about how light mapping software functions in order to understand light planning.   Light spreads out and weakens as it moves away from its source. Light maps offer educated guesses about the amount of light that specific areas of a room receive. The amount of light that reaches a specific area in a room and the relative light intensity at a specific angle are all taken into account by the program. HOW COME LIGHT PLANS MATTER? The majority of LED light fixtures provide approximate PPFD measurements, however this doesn't tell you much on its own. Since most installations concentrate their LEDs, PAR measurements taken immediately under a fixture will naturally be higher than PAR readings taken for plants on the side of the room.   As you can see, it is simple to inflate a fixture's value without a lighting plan. A light plan aids in providing buyers with a more detailed picture of how their lights will function across...

What Role Does Green Light Play In Plant Development?

  Whether and how the "green light" affects plant growth are frequently points of contention among growers. Plants reflect green light the most and absorb it the least of all the visible light, contrary to the widespread belief that they only reflect it. The bulk of green light, despite a little amount of it being reflected, is beneficial for photosynthesis. Depending on the circumstances, the green light may or may not be advantageous for plant development. There is currently a dearth of extensive research on the subject. Full-spectrum LED lights include green light, but their benefit in fostering plant development is not totally evident. Here, along with when and how to use them, are described the impacts of green LED grow lights on plant growth. Why switch to a green light? In a controlled environment, different light spectrum colors are used to modify the flavour, potency, and even aroma of a plant. Green lights, however, are commonly used for more beneficial purpo...
