LED Grow Lights 101: Light Profile, What Type And Where? (Episode 2)

LED Grow Lights 101 is a new series where I try and delve into different aspects of artificial LED lights in order to help you understand more about them. After watching all of the videos you should have a very good Idea on what LED grow light would work best for you and your plants

The BEST indoor grow lighting info I’ve come across, especially for newbs like yours truly. Your series is the most comprehensive, understandable, and well illustrated ((necessary for those of us who are visual learners!)) on the basic important issues: EFFECTIVENESS TESTING, BUDGETING, and LONG TERM COSTS! Thank you for all your hard work!

[MadameSenator]

This was super useful! Thank you for taking the time to educate us all on it.

I'm using a high bay led ufo light. Was 250w actual power draw and only 180 dollars. It's designed for warehouses, but works excellent for my flowering annuals.

This is the first video I see on all of youtube with no dislikes YAY

[KenmeriCaptain]

thanks for the vid! I have two bulbs and haven't been impressed with either of them. gonna pick up a mars hydro and see how they go.

[Ethiokarate]

As practical as it gets. God bless you Sir!

[megannolan]

This helped a lot! I wish I could see the light set up you have behind you to get a better picture of how to use these lights. Thanks for sharing :)

Buying lights for our new apartment at the moment, this is so helpful!

Great video! I am trying to pick lights for my new glass cabinet greenhouse and this is just what I was looking for :)

[celinenicole]

This is so helpful! Thank you so much!

[catherinec]

Thanks for another super helpful video!

[elijahn]

Love this video. can you do a tour of you plant room/propergating video?

[socplaylist]

Is there a way to calculate how much PAR/watts/etc you need at a certain distance? For example if I know I am going to be able to have lights 8" above a tray of lettuces, is there a way to calculate what strength I need? Not sure if that makes sense.... I follow your various examples, I just am not sure how to know how much penetration I need. Thanks; great video series!

Love your indepth reviews, no time wasting. Would you be kind enough to recommend a specific bulb or UFO for my 6ft monstera? Thinking the 70W Sansi from your other reviews but if something else would work better in hindsight i'd be obliged!!

[ShaneyElderberry]

These days, efficacy (µmol/J) and PPF output (µmol/s) at varying distances are more important than the manufacturer's Watt rating. If the diodes are inefficient, then it doesn't matter what the Watt rating is in the long run.

Wish he would’ve provided specific recommendations

[TheRenaissanceAmazon]

Thanks for this video. But are red blue lights better than the white light?

[EMH_Richard]

Thanks for the explanation!
(We only ever got one "May your pants grow strong and sturdy". 😔)

I have a 7 * 9 grow space with a lot of plants of all sizes. What light should I use to simulate sunlight in that space. I already have the seedling shelves coveted!
