Is the shell material of LED grow light important?
Do you know what parts of a complete LED plant growth lamp have? The first is the LED chip, which is the core of LED grow lights and the component that really plays a role, followed by power supply, fan, lens, shell and others. LED chips are the most important components. Usually, we are most concerned about the parameters of Chip, such as power, lumen, lifespan, brightness, layout, etc., but ignore the importance of other accessories. For example, led plant grow lamp shell material; The main functions of the shell include convenient installation, heat dissipation, visual effect and safety related. The material of the shell mainly includes metal shell and plastic shell, and its cost varies greatly.
(1) Whether the plant lights shell is convenient for installation
The installation environment and the weight of lamps should be considered here. If it is a small area of plant grow lighting, the impact is not great from the perspective of installation. Generally, led plant grow light bar and small panel lamps are used, which are less weight. It’s OK to hang them with a rope, but it’s a little troublesome. However, no matter how heavy the LED grow lamp is, as long as it is carefully designed, there will be strong pins around its shell for easy hanging. Another part will provide supports, especially led grow light strips, which are convenient to move and the irradiation angle can be adjusted at will.
(2) Whether the LED grow lighting shell is convenient for heat dissipation
The main component of heat dissipation of plant lights is the fan. As a tool for auxiliary heat dissipation, the main influencing factor is its material, but now most led grow lights do not need a fan. Generally speaking, the heat dissipation effect of metal shell is much better than that of plastic shell. Most of the high-power LED grow lamps that need to take special heat dissipation measures in the market also use metal shell. The service life of plastic shell plant lamps will be greatly reduced, which is not conducive to heat dissipation. On the one hand, it will affect the lifespan of grow lights
(3) Influence of LED plant light shell on lights safety
The shell material of LED plant lights affects the transportation safety: during the transportation of goods, it is inevitable to collide and shake the lamp. When the LED plant lamp manufacturer leaves the factory, fine packaging is essential, but for the lamp itself, the shell material quality will also directly affect the damage rate; Led plant lamp shell affects the installation safety: whether the installation of LED plant lamp is stable and lasting directly affects the lamp safety and lamp service life. Plastic products are easy to age under the irradiation of light, especially strong light, and their performance will decline linearly.
