Do LED grow lights need reflectors?

The size of your grow space will dictate the size and number of an LED units you purchase. A good rule-of-thumb for LED grow lights is 32 watts of actual wattage per square foot of growing space for flowering medical or other large flowering plants.

How many PPF does a grow light need?

If a single LED grow light produces a PPF of 2000µmol/s, you require 4 lamps per growing area. The PPF does not tell us how much of the measured light actually lands on the plants or any other surface. So keep in mind not every lamp with the same PPF is as effective in bringing that light down to the crops.

How long do reflectors last?

The life expectancy for one surface-mount road reflector is three years, says Tony Sheppard, DOT’s director of traffic and engineering.

Is higher PPF better?

Since PAR helps plants undergo photosynthesis, lights with higher PPF are more desirable.

What is good PPF for plants?

PPFD is the measurement of the density which is expressed micromoles per square meter. The ideal photon density for peak indoor plants photosynthesize is around 500 to 700 µmol/m2. To avoid causing damage to the indoor plants we should refrain from going over 1000 µmol/m2.
