What are the factors affecting the service life of LED grow light?
With the continuous development of LED technology, led plant grow light has become the primary choice for indoor garden farming, especially indoor marijuana cultivation. HID grow light (CMH/HPS) is the first choice for indoor marijuana cultivation. However, due to various factors, most indoor growers prefer led grow light. The biggest reason is the low heat, high efficiency and long life of LED plant grow light. However, the expected service life of most LED grow lights is between 50000 and 100000 hours. Heat is the main factor affecting the life of LED grow light. If they continue to overheat without enough radiators, their life will be shortened.
Depending on how the manufacturer makes the grow lamps, you may need to replace other components that will always fail before your grow lights fails. Sometimes, even high-quality LED products can only be used for one year. These problems may be related to many things, such as
1 – Heat sink
Most led grow light system manufacturer with aluminum shell for the heat dissipation of led grow light. Especially the popular quantum board led grow light, Led grow light bars, Foldable led grow light, Led spider grow light etc. Plastic also be used for led grow light, like led grow light tube for indoor leaf green plants growing. But the efficiency is not good as aluminum. And the watt of grow light led can’t be higher as aluminum.
DMXGROW led grow light system with the newest Fin heat sinks to improve heat dissipation of led grow light. Not only improved the heat dissipation speed 40%.But also less in weight and easy for package and installation.
2-Capacitor
It’s one of the components of the grow lights. Generally, The better the capacitor, the longer the life of the grow light led.
3 – Environment
As we all know, Environment is the important factor for indoor growing, Not only indoor farming for some leaf green plants, but also for indoor cannabis growing . Plants don’t like too hot and too cold. For indoor cultivation, the grow space is closed, and the air inside is not as smooth as that outside. Moreover, in a closed space, the temperature will be higher than that outside. And grow lights, whether LED or HPS, working in this bad environment will affect the service life of plant grow lights. Therefore, for indoor cultivation, whether leafy vegetables or marijuana cultivation, Ventilation system needs to be set to ensure a better growth environment.
4 – Used hours of grow lights
No electronic product can work for a long time, otherwise it will bear too much load, which will greatly affect the service life of electronic products. Led also belongs to electronic products. Long-term uninterrupted use will also increase the service life of LED plant grow lights, so as to shorten the service life of plant grow light led.
