Here is sample content from the article, “As we have explored, not all LED horticultural lighting is created equal. Let's recap the main points when selecting LED grow lights. Ask manufacturers for photometric layouts to see the PPFD at target elevation levels, and look for the most even PPFD distribution over hot spots. Line up fixture comparisons based on apples to apples solutions that cover the same area at the same wavelength and PPFD levels. You can even out the fixture variables by breaking the performance down to the square foot. Use the equipment cost per square foot and the electricity operating cost per square foot to guide your decisions. Test samples before making a large purchase, and ask the manufacturer in advance to agree to refund the cost of samples that you don't keep. Last, financing will allow the monthly savings to help pay for the lights and maximize your return on investment.
The article was written by Ryan Mitchell, the Account Manager, and Charlie Szoradi, the Chairman and CEO at Independence LED Lighting.
