What is the difference between plant lights and normal lights?

Plant fill light is a professional planting lamp. The difference between plant growth lamp and normal lamp is that the cannabis plant fill light is made according to the principle that cannabis plants need to use sunlight for photosynthesis. In order to meet the photosynthesis required for plant growth, the demand for light and promote the healthy growth of plants. Simply put, the purpose is different. Ordinary lamps are generally just light-emitting diodes, and the spectrum is concentrated in the green light part.

LED plant lights produce very specific wavelengths, and cannabis plants can effectively use very specific wavelengths. To promote growth. Plants also like a specific ratio of blue/red light. So if you are growing plants, please focus on blue wavelengths. Blue is more likely to match, and plants can handle a wider range of blue. From the perspective of plants, they will prefer blue. Too much red and the wrong ratio will cause plant growth problems. Blue will make plants healthier.

There are several key differences between plant lights and normal lights, which are mainly reflected in their design purpose, spectral characteristics, usage scenarios and functional effects.

Design purpose:

Plant lights: Designed to promote plant growth, they provide the light required for photosynthesis by simulating the spectrum of sunlight.

Normal lights: Designed for a wide range of purposes, including lighting, decoration, safety and other purposes, and are not specifically targeted at plant growth needs.

Spectral characteristics:

Plant lights: Usually have a specific spectral distribution, especially rich in blue and red light bands required for photosynthesis by plants. These spectra can be more effectively absorbed and utilized by plants, promoting plant growth and flowering.

Normal lights: The spectral distribution is relatively wide and is not necessarily optimized for plant growth needs.

Scenario:

Plant lights: Widely used in indoor planting, greenhouses, plant factories and other scenes that require artificial light sources to promote plant growth.

Normal lights: Suitable for various daily lighting and decoration needs, such as homes, offices, commercial places, etc.

‌Functional effects‌:

Plant lights: can provide a lighting environment suitable for plant growth, promote the healthy growth of plants, and improve yield and quality.

Ordinary lights: mainly provide lighting and decorative effects, and have no direct promoting effect on plant growth.

In addition, some advanced plant lights also have intelligent control functions, such as adjusting brightness, color temperature and timer switches through APP to meet the lighting needs of different plants at different growth stages.

In summary, there are significant differences between plant lights and ordinary lights in terms of design purpose, spectral characteristics, usage scenarios and functional effects. When choosing, you should make a reasonable choice based on specific needs and usage scenarios.

FAQs
