Grow chillies and other plants indoors with hydroponic LED lights

Any plant (like every living being on our planet) needs two essential things to grow and survive:

• Water

• Sun

With indoor cultivation, many times we think it is enough to place them near a window where the sunlight comes through, but unfortunately, it is not enough. Plants in nature grow outside, not at home and for this reason they need direct artificial light 12 -14 hours a day. We can use neon, halogen spotlights or we can take advantage of the new LED technology.

What are the advantages of LED lighting?

LED tiene innumerables ventajas en comparación con la iluminación tradicional:

• Ahorra hasta un 80% de energía
• No se calientan y por lo tanto no queman las hojas
• Tienen una duración media de 15.000 horas
• Cero emisiones de los rayos UV que pueden ser perjudiciales para los seres vivos.
• Cuesta menos, hace más luz.
• No contaminan el medio ambiente y son casi del 100

Al igual que los sistemas de iluminación clásicos, LED fue un gran paso adelante. En el mercado hay bombillas LED clásicas, proyectores LED (no halógenos), luces LED (no halógenos) y paneles LED, que analizaremos en detalle:

These LED panels are nothing more than a plate with all "special" LEDs that illuminate areas up to 2 square meters, are composed of 225 LEDs, 60 blue LEDs with a wavelength of 465 nm and 165 red LEDs with a wavelength of 650 nm, specially created to offer plants only the spectrum of light needed for photosynthesis without waste.

Traditional and halogen lamps, now obsolete

1. They consume a lot compared to LED, a traditional lamp of 100w is equivalent to a LED lamp of about 20w.

2. They get very hot, increasing the risk of fire and short-circuiting.

3. They emit harmful UV rays.

4. The traditional filament lamps have a duration of about 1000 hours, halogen ones about 4000 hours, those with LEDs about 15,000 hours.

5. They pollute the environment and are 30-40% recyclable.
