The Gro Company Gro Grolight 2-in-1 Night Light

Product Information

Although the stated life expectancy of the bulbs is 25,000 hours, some users have noted that the bulbs stopped working within several months. However, this light is more affordable than some of the other options in this roundup, should it need to be replaced.

This plant growth lighting system produces the proper balance of blue, red and deep red energy needed for optimal plant growth, and maximises output in these areas. The system is designed to provide this energy for plants, and for no other purpose. LEDs are most often recommended for grow lights, though some fluorescent and incandescent bulbs can work. The most important thing is that regardless of type, the bulbs should offer full-spectrum illumination and produce waves of red and blue light, which is often necessary for plants to thrive indoors. These benefit from predominantly blue light to promote good growth and compact plants. The T5 HO tubes should be placed around 60cm (2ft) above the seedlings for around 16 hours a day. We tested this 20-watt lamp on an aloe plant with very favorable results. After three weeks of use, we noticed several new growths sprouting up, which was much more than we had experienced without the light.The development in LED technology has brought with it significant benefits to growers and their plants. The full spectrum of PAR light emitted from LEDs has shown to be far superior to traditional HPS lighting whilst also delivering more light per watt of electricity. This makes LED grow lights far cheaper to run (up to a 50% reduction in lighting watts when compared to other lighting systems) while also improving plant health and all important yields.

Taking into account the plant growers needs from their lighting systems in terms of flexibility, our Gro-Lux ® LED lighting system delivers a high Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) efficacy, while allowing you to adapt the lighting system to the individual needs of the plantation, which reduces energy costs by nearly 40%. LED (Light Emitting Diode)horticultural lighting is a viable alternative for indoor use. They benefit from low operating temperatures and are longer lasting and more energy efficient than T5 HO fluorescents. At this point in their development, however, they can still be more expensive than T5 HO fluorescents to install. Specialist light meters may also be required to measure the light output of these systems, which can add to the expense of the set up. Many plants grow well in a bright location in the home. However, the use of artificial light can be of further benefit in the following circumstances; LED Lights are in their own league when compared to traditional grow lighting systems. With decades of research and development. Invested companies like Spectrum King have created the SK602 LED grow light which delivers the same light intensity as a 1000 Watt double ended HPS bulb.Despite their large capacity, the included LED lights are energy efficient, according to the manufacturer. Thanks to a new diode layout, the light is more evenly distributed at optimal intensity. For safety, this unit features waterproofing and protective covering on the cables. It’s made from durable aluminum, which doesn’t throw off a huge amount of heat. Hanging your lights too low can burn your plants, but hanging them too high can leave them stretching for light, and weak,” says Kansas City-based Melissa Lallo Johnson, host of Art of Gardening, a vlog and podcast that features influential gardeners from around the world. The standard placement recommendation for incandescent grow lights is at least 24 inches from plants. Since fluorescent and LED lights have lower heat outputs, they can be placed 12 to 18 inches away from plants. Indoor garden systems with extendable lights are helpful in ensuring that your plants do not burn while they grow. They are generally economical to run, but not as energy efficient as LED (Light Emitting Diodes) lighting

The intensity of light produced is generally strong enough to enable good growth and flowering when positioned correctly There are various types of grow lights to consider, from panels to products that hang overhead or screw into standard light fixtures. The type of plants you have, the amount of existing natural light, and where your plants are located help you narrow down your choices. Typically, hanging lights are larger, while desktop lights are smaller and easy to move around. If you want a complete system, consider a full garden kit, like the AeroGarden Bounty Basic (our best kit), which includes the planter with a built-in light.This article was updated by Sage McHugh, a lifestyle writer for The Spruce who specializes in the home and garden sector. To select the best grow lights for this roundup, reviewed our testing insights from products we've tested at home. She also considered dozens of products, carefully evaluating their size, wattage, bulb type, and overall performance. Seedlings that take on a bleached appearance or become stunted after growing under lights. Similarly, yellow-green foliage on plants nearest the tubes can indicate the light intensity is too high for the plant in that position. The intensity of light can be lowered by: The initial purchasing cost of a LED light may be more expensive than other traditional grow lights, however the long term savings they provide make LED grow lights far more economical in the long run. Deciding which type of lighting is good for you is an important decision to make. HID (High Intensity Discharge) grow lights are the commonly used amongst growers. They provide a cheap yet efficient light source for growing with hydroponics. The main reason for the popularity of HID lighting is that they are considerably cheaper than LED grow lights. There are only a few growers using LED grow lights. However the number of growers using LED grow lights is constantly increasing. Growers switch once they understand they can save money in the long term, reduce electricity bills and see more rapid and effective growth in their plants.

This is hands down the best present we received when our baby was born. We had never heard of it before we got ours. The first few weeks of baby being here we used phone lights/bedside lamp and it was bright and would wake us all up but when he got the Gro Light it was a game changer. The light is bright enough to see but not bright enough to wake you up completely. We have it on our main light in the bedroom and leave it on all night as I am still up to feed my baby during the night. It has a dial on the side which you can use to adjust the brightness. To use it you switch your light switch on once then if you want the main light on you switch it on and off twice. Its a brilliant product and will be buying one for pregnant friends as a presents in the future. Read more Affordable and energy-efficient, the Venoya LED Grow Light is an excellent choice for a full-spectrum hanging light, with a spectrum of 390 nm to 730 nm, which includes UV, IR, red, and blue light. These lights have a vegetative coverage of 2 x 2 feet. I was wondering how it worked! I’d love one, I think it would help to get them to stay in their room! They are generally quite good though. We have a reward chart for bedtime. #TriedTested Having the lights on for a sufficient number of hours is also an important factor – see the guidelines below for each set up. Simple lighting system For added convenience, the light arrives fully assembled and is easy to install. The unit comes with two 6-inch hanging wire harnesses, a 5-foot plug-in cord, and all the necessary mounting hardware.Here at HydroHobby we have carefully selected only the best quality LED grow lights, providing customers with the perfect lighting solutions for their growing requirements. In recent years LED technology has developed to deliver optimum plant growth. Their superior light quality, efficient use of energy, slim design and long lifespan have made them the preferred choice of lighting for both professional and first time growers. Energy Efficient LED Grow Lights A “start” of macroalgae such as chaetomorpha – get it online, from a LFS, or from a reefkeeping buddy. The LEOTER Grow Light emits a full spectrum of color to encourage varied phases of plant growth. It emits 660 nm of red light and 460 nm of blue light, and a full-spectrum bandwidth of 380 nm to 800 nm. A combination of all three delivers the most positive growth results. The beauty of indoor grow lights is they allow herbs, seeds, houseplants, and flowers to flourish year-round. However, they need the right amount of sunlight and darkness to thrive. Johnson says that for germination and seedlings, you can run lights 16 to 18 hours per day until they are a few inches tall. "As they mature," she adds, "you can slowly reduce to get them on a similar light pattern for spring before you transplant them.”
