Which led grow light for 5×5 grow tent?
As for the rule of LED grow light is that the actual growth area of medical plants or other large flowering plants per square foot is 32 watts ~ 50wattsFor a 5×5 tent, it’s 25 square feet. Ideally, you can choose to set 800-1200 watts of LED lighting. For HPS, it can use about 1000 watts (High-Pressure Sodium) lights. Or reach 2600 watts. When your plants are in flowering bloom stage, they naturally require more light. Therefore, after calculating at 50 watts per square foot, for 5 × 5 tent, you need about 1250 watts. But LP1200 led grow light 1200W with big size 110x170cm ,Not suitable for 5×5 grow tent .
So, How to choose perfect LED grow lights for 5×5 tents?
All LED grow lights do not mean the best for you! So you need to compare different lights with your grow tent. The following factors can be considered;
1-spectrum
Grow Light Bulbs with different wavelengths ensure maximum growth. Plants need different spectrum from one stage to another – the full spectrum includes red, white and blue light, as well as infrared and ultraviolet light.
2-Light intensity
Excessive or insufficient light – both can be harmful to plant growth. You need the right amount of light intensity to make plants healthy. In order to achieve balanced intensity, you need to consider the growth stage of the plant and the size of the growth space.
3-PAR
Par refers to “photosynthetic active radiation”. It is the range of all different wavelengths / colors of light used by plants for photosynthesis; Plants in the middle of the light get full par values, while plants at the edge may get less light. High par is not necessarily better. In fact, high-quality light has a lower par value because the power distribution is uniform rather than concentrated in the middle.
energy efficiency
LED plant grow lights run for more than 8 hours a day, which will greatly increase your electricity charges. In this case, please look for energy-saving lamps with the best performance. Your lamp should use less power, but provide simulated natural light and full coverage. But you must also make sure there is enough light.
4-Easy to set up and maintain
Usually, cheap items burn faster and need to be installed often. In this way, the maintenance cost will continue to increase. High quality LED lighting systems may be more expensive, but they can save you any additional costs. For example, lamps that are easier to install do not have to be for professionals and pay extra fees.
5-Material quality
five × 5 the ideal growth lamp for tents should be durable, environmentally friendly and made of high quality materials. Consider the product information provided in the instruction manual or light box. And choose the appropriate lamp according to the size of the tent, otherwise choose the large-size lamp, and the tent will not fit.
The DMXGROW LP780F size 110x114cm. 780W max 800W LED grow light has 2628 LED diodes and an energy-saving built-in driver plug and play, easy to install. The latest aluminum fin heat dissipation technology is adopted, which not only effectively improves the heat dissipation effect, but also reduces the weight of the grow lamp. It provides a powerful 1764 umol/s PPF at 800 watt and 2.7 μmol/J helps you effectively optimize plant growth, improve quality and reduce operating costs. From cutting / seedling raising, nutrition and flowering, especially the whole cycle from flowering, full spectrum growth and red enhancement. Lp780f can be widely used in commercial cultivation (horizontal and vertical), climate chamber, family garden, family planting (planting box and planting tent)), greenhouse cultivation, vertical frame and hydroponic culture.
