Installation and use suggestions for plant growth lights - luxgrow

When installing and using plant growth lights, there are several important suggestions to help you ensure that your plants get the best light and effectively promote their growth.


First, the installation height is very critical. Generally speaking, LED plant growth lights should be installed at a height of about 30 to 60 cm from the plant canopy, which can effectively prevent excessive light from causing plant burns. For high-wattage lamps, it is recommended to keep a farther distance to avoid excessive light intensity from causing damage to plants. For example, the ideal height setting for a 200W lamp is 12 to 24 inches, while a 300W lamp should be set between 18 and 24 inches.

Secondly, in terms of usage time, plants usually need to supplement 12 to 16 hours of light per day. The growth light can be turned on and off on a regular basis to simulate the natural environment. Using a timer is not only convenient, but also helps maintain a certain light cycle.


At the same time, take into account the type of spectrum of the lamp. Most plants require light in different bands during growth. For example, blue light is suitable for plant vegetative growth, while red light helps flowering and fruiting. Choosing a full-spectrum lamp can meet the needs of a variety of plants, allowing them to get the right light at different growth stages.


Finally, make sure the power supply and installation of the lamp are safe. Make sure the wires are well insulated and avoid humid environments to reduce the risk of short circuits. At the same time, check the working status of the lamp regularly to ensure that it is emitting light normally.


Combined with these suggestions, you can better use plant growth lights to achieve the goal of healthy plant growth.
