Red, Blue, Green, & Amber
Advantages
of the
enLux LED Grow Light
Life: 50,000 hours –If lit for 8 hours/day,
365 days/year, it will last over 17 years. 25 times longer
than typical incandescent floodlights.
Efficiency: 15W Typical (22W max) – uses 1/5
the power of a 100W colored incandescent floodlight.
Color purity: four color specific wavelengths with
no UV emitted.
Indoor/Outdoor Use |
Three ways Grow Lights can be used for plant growth
- Provide all the light a plant needs to grow.
- Supplement sunlight, especially in winter months when
daylight hours are short.
- Increase the length of the "day", in order to trigger
specific growth and flowering.

Light level is one of the important variables for optimizing
plant growth, others being light quality, water, carbon dioxide,
nutrients and environmental factors
Plants need light for photosynthesis, therefore for growing.
Researchers have found that blue and red light is essential
for plant growth. LEDs (light-emitting diodes) can be calibrated
to emit a specific wavelength.
LED light is good for places where direct light from the
sun is not enough or nonexistent. It is also good for plants
where light from the sun is too strong and can harm the plants
with the high emission of UV. One of the most important advantages
in using the enLux LED Grow Light is there is no UV emitted.
The quality of light is as important as the quantity. Plants,
respond more effectively to red light and to blue light, the
peak being in the red region at around 630 nanometers. Red
light provides the most efficient food for plants.
A plant illuminated only with red or orange light will fail
to develop sufficient bulk. Leafy growth (vegetative growth)
and bulk also require blue light. Just as humans need a balanced
diet, plants need balanced, full spectrum light for good health
and optimum growth. |

UL approved for wet and dry locations. However,
in wet environments, the LED floodlight should be aimed downward
to prevent water from contacting the screw base. |
