Professional Design Octopus Grow Light - LED-800 Lenses with dimmable controller – Topline Optoelectronic

For starters plants grown indoors under our LED grow lights will act more like outdoor plants. They will also like it hotter and more humid than HPS grown plants. I’ll explain why. Bulbs emit a lot of infrared light (IR) which is pure heat that can burn the plant cuticle. As a result indoor growers kept their grow rooms cooler to mitigate that damage and over time they came to believe that is “how you grow”. Our LED fixtures do not have excess IR so you can let your rooms be hotter and save even more money on power bills!

Did you know that you can take a laser thermometer into an HPS grow and measure the leaf surface temperature on the plant canopy and it will be up to 10 degrees hotter than what the AC is set to? To be successful with LED grow lights, all you have to do is measure the actual temperature of the plant leaves on the canopy then when you swap out the light to an LED fixture just let the room heat up until you reach the same leaf surface temperature and set your AC or exhaust fans to come on at the temperature. Your plants will photorespire and uptake more nutrients that way and you’ll have abundant aggressive growth all while reducing your power consumption and energy bills.
