LEDs Change Everything

LED Grow Lights at Work

Interested in growing things indoors, but never wanted to mess around with the expense and hassle of grow lights?  Traditional grow lights generate lots of heat and use enormous amounts of electricity, raising your monthly electric bill by noticeable amounts.  But now there is a simpler solution for indoor growing, LED technology!  These LED grow lights stay cool and use only a miniscule amount of energy.

Choose the LGM3 model for leafy plants from seedling to flowering where compact growth is desired.  Looking to really increase your growth?  Choose the LGM550 light bar.  All of the features and benefits of the Professional bar with over a 100% increase in light energy.   The LGM550 promotes the growth and development of all photosynthesizing organisms (plants, algae, bacteria) commonly found in hobby, commercial, and scientific areas of interest.  This is the highest performance LED plant light available in the world.

The LED Grow Master grow bars let home plant growing enthusiasts custom tailor their grow lighting environment.  The low-voltage, light weight, compact, and durable design will mount with a single screw for easy hanging anywhere you would like to grow.

Lower Energy Use

Conventional grow lights consume between 100 watts and 1,000 watts of power to operate. Each LED Grow Master Grow Light uses less-than 9 watts of power. This energy savings becomes more and more important as energy costs continue to rise. On average, LED Grow Master grow lights use 10 times less energy than comparable metallic vapor lights.   One LGM550 LED Gro-Bar used 16-hours per day, at $0.10 per KilowattHour, will cost about $5 per year to operate. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that every Kilowatt of energy produces 1.5 lbs of carbon dioxide (CO2). The EPA estimates that for every 7,300 lbs of CO2 prevented is equivalent to planting one acre of trees. Based on these EPA estimates, each 400 watt metallic vapor light replaced by LED Grow Master Grow Lights will yield a savings in energy-produced CO2 equivalent to planting nearly 1/2 acre of trees per year.

Longer Bulb Life

Based on data published by the manufacturers of components used in the LED grow light, the expected LED Grow Master bulb life is 100,000 hours. This is ten to fifty times longer than typical glass grow light bulb life expectations. Replacing glass bulbs every year adds a lot to the expense of a growing system.  Now you won’t be changing expensive bulbs every year.

LEDs change everything.

Thank You LEDers

LED Peppers Blooming

If you are using or distributing the LED Grow Master line of plant lights, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you.  Everyone should be as proud of themselves as I am.   The best way I can think of to convince you that you should be proud is to explain what it is your lighting choice can do for the world.

The most obvious issue is energy consumption.  The Department of Energy has estimated that LED lighting could cut national energy consumption for lighting by 29% by 2025.  If you consider that lighting accounts for over 22% of all the electricity used in the US it is apparent that this transition can go a long way towards saving our dwindling natural resources as well as significantly reducing the pollution created by supplying this energy.  LED Grow Master lighting is the most efficient plant light on the planet, using significantly less energy even when compared to other LED grow lights on the market.  Saving energy is not the only way that you are contributing by using and promoting LEDs in the world of horticulture.

Water shortages are becoming more prevalent throughout the world.  It is hard to imagine the desperation that is felt in many parts of the world for this precious resource.  Since 1950 the world’s population has doubled and the water usage has tripled.  As our population increases our freshwater does not.  Because LEDs emit very little heat, we can dramatically reduce the amount of water required to produce food.  This concept is becoming increasingly important when planning a future in the many areas that do not have the luxury of a faucet.

The previous issues are of primary concern among much of society but they are not the only two issues effected by using LEDs in place of other light sources.  By using LED grow lights in your garden you require less nutrients and thus less waste is transported back into our water supply.  LEDs do not contain lead or mercury which is present in other light sources.  LED grow lights also have a much longer lifespan which greatly reduces the amount of material that will end up in our landfills.  The LED Grow Master line in particular is 100% recyclable at the end of the useful lifetime.  Thanks again LEDers.  –AL
