LED grow lights for leafy green
Growing vegetables indoors is an enjoyable project for commercial growers or greenhouse gardeners or home growers, whether you want to grow seedlings, grow an indoor vegetable garden, or provide supplemental light for indoor vegetables in winter, grow with LEDs Lights will help you grow healthy vegetables.
Light is a very important factor in the development of vegetables as it is a source of energy that converts nutrients into food. With the help of artificial light, it is possible to grow fresh and delicious organic vegetables all year round.
Diversified planting
Vertical farming
Vertical farming is different from traditional outdoor farming, growers chooses to grow vegetables indoors, stack them vertically through multiple planting layers, and then use LED grow lights to provide light and water with water mist or automatic drip irrigation system, so as to be free from environmental factors and high yield throughout the year under influence and control. It takes 30 to 40 days for traditional farming to grow vegetables, and 10 to 12 days for vertical farming. More importantly, compared with traditional farming, vertical farming requires 95% less water. Moreover, vertical farms illuminated by LED grow lights can improve the taste and nutrition of crops, reducing the climate and biodiversity impacts of agriculture.
Lighting technology plays a vital role in the development of vertical farming and still has yet to be developed. Grow lights made by KINGROWLIGHT are powerful and efficient, they save electricity, generate less heat, and can adjust light intensity during different periods of vegetable growth to maximize quality and yield.

Greenhouse farming
In recent years, artificial lighting in greenhouses has become an important means of facility horticultural production, and various artificial light sources have also developed rapidly. The characteristics of LED grow lights are that they can accurately provide low power consumption and high Efficient and uniform light distribution, which is exactly what is needed for efficient photosynthesis, based on this factor, LED grow lights are favored by more and more growers.
With the help of the characteristics of the LED light source as a downward cold light source, the LED lamps are hung horizontally on the upper part of the canopy, and the upper surface of the canopy is illuminated vertically. This method is suitable for the production methods of thin canopy, high density, and relatively neat upper surface of the canopy, such as Seedling, leafy vegetable production, etc. Since the LED cold light source can illuminate the plants at a close distance, the LED light can be placed at a short distance above the canopy to enhance enough DLI (Daily Light Integral) to improve the growth of leafy plants. The research results of a large number of applications of LED grow lights in the greenhouse cultivation environment show that it can improve the sweetness of fruits and vegetables, reduce pests and diseases, and increase the yield by 30% to 50%.

Home planting
For the home grower, whether in a garage, basement, room, or even a closet, if you want to grow fresh produce year-round, it’s time to consider an indoor grow tent, and LED grow lights are a great way to grow in your grow tent Great selection of plants of all kinds.
The added benefit of growing in a grow tent is the ability to control light, day and night cycles, watering cycles and airflow, allowing your plants to grow faster and stronger. And, more importantly, indoor grow tent planting with LED grow lights is the most efficient way to replicate sunlight with many benefits. So what are the benefits of using plant lights?
1. More efficient
LED grow lights use only half the energy required by fluorescent lamps, they are better for the environment and tax less on electricity bills.
2. Higher light intensity
As the plant grows, the LED lights emit enough energy to keep the plant alive throughout its growth cycle.
3. Produces less heat
LED grow lights emit less heat than fluorescent lights, which means you can move them closer to your plants, increasing the amount of energy available to them.
4. Longer life
LED grow lights have a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, equivalent to more than 2,080 days of full-time use, making them more cost-effective.
