UFO LED Grow Light Review – Is this the right grow light for your hydroponic garden?

The key to establishing a successful hydroponic garden is to implement proper lighting that will let you grow vegetables, fruits and herbs all year long. Below is a quick review on the benefits of LED grow lights and a special opportunity for a Free Consultation.

LED grow lights have much higher amount of USE-ABLE light per watt than HPS or MH indoor grow lights and they last longer - up to 10 years in fact.  Now I am not saying that a 90W LED grow light can ever match the lumen output of a 400W HID bulb, however, they are equal when it comes to the amount of absorb-able light they emit.  (See this article to learn why lumens don't matter). In addition, they produce a fraction of the heat of HID setups and therefore do not require cooling fans.  The lights only use 20 to 30 percent of the electricity that HID lights use.  Above all, LED grow lights do not require other equipment such as ballasts and reflectors like most grow lights do.

There are many different types of LED grow lights and it is very important to choose the best one for your hydroponic garden.  One of the most popular ones on the market is the UFO grow light.

Benefits of UFO LED Grow Lights

• Uses 90 watts of power that are more intense and result in faster growth rates than HID lights.
• Does not produce any heat and will not burn your plants or cause excess evaporation.
• All of the light is directed at the plants and the light that is emitted matches the spectrum of light necessary for photosynthesis.
• Produces thicker vegetative growth, larger blooms, and increased yields over equivalent HID lights.

Aside from standard red/blue UFO Grow lights, many people prefer to use Tri-band LED grow lights.  The benefit of using a Tri-band Spectrum is that the plants absorb the key spectrum of red, blue and orange light.  These lights are designed to provide key wavelengths for optimal growth at all stages.

Now, a new addition to the LED Grow Light team is the 5 Band LED Grow Light which offers a red, blue, and orange arrangement with 2 different bands in each of the red and blue spectrum.

To choose the correct LED grow light for your plant, you have to determine the needs of your hydroponic garden.  Are you growing leafy, short plants or taller, flowering plants?  What are the dimensions of your grow space? Would you prefer an all-in-one grow light solution or would you like your color panels separate to allow tweaking during specific stages?

To Guarantee Poor Results, Buy Cheap Imitators

I have been told by a few people that they have experienced less than optimal results from their LED grow lights (and nowhere near what the hype says is possible).  Without fail the number one reason for failure is that they bought cheap, discount LED grow lights that were horribly underpowered.

Don't worry - I get it.  To start out, LED grow lights are a bit more expensive than their HID light counterparts, however, that gap is shrinking all the time and is easily recovered (and then some) in reduced electricity bills and by not needing expensive heat removal systems or ballasts.  It is easy to gravitate to the less expensive models if you are on a budget but don't!  You will be disappointed.

The cheap LED grow lights on the market are ridiculously underpowered.  On Ebay right now, you can find dozens of LED grow light panels in which each individual LED light is rated at 0.06 Watts.  So in a typical 225 LED panel of red and blue, you end up with a total power consumption of about 14 Watts.  Sounds great right?  Not so fast - you see, these units are good for maybe 1 square foot at a distance of less than 6 inches.  Does that describe your growing space? Not likely.

Take a typical growing space of 5x5 feet or 25 square feet . . . if you bought the above light, you would need at least 12 of these units to effectively cover the space.  And that is assuming you don't want to grow anything over a few inches tall.

As a rule, you should never buy an LED grow light unless each LED has an output of 1 Watt.  In the above example, you would need only one 180W LED grow light to cover 25 square feet for vegetative growth and it would have the power to penetrate a leafy canopy if growing taller plants (in a 3x3).

While some people use natural sunlight, others who want indoor gardens find that one of the best choices for lighting are LED grow lights.  They are more economical, energy efficient and can be controlled for best results in your hydroponic garden.
