White Led

Do white LED Christmas lights make good grow lights?

I saw online companies that make LED grow lights but they were super expensive and looked like christmas lights mounted in peg board so I was thinking I could build one with stuff from home depot

Christmas lights aren’t strong enough. Regular fluorescent tube bulbs are inexpensive and work fine. Just make sure you place them within inches of the plants.

Almost everyone today knows what an LED light in the most general sense, but few are aware of how quickly they will become the main source of lighting Overall, both in homes and businesses. Everyone from the Department of Energy environmental advocates are pushing the pace of development driven by general illumination, due to significant energy savings associated with its use, and the fact that LEDs do not use chemicals that harm the environment and greater energy saving bulbs (is ie, compact fluorescents contain mercury).

Although light emitting diodes have been around since the 1960s, its use until recently was limited to matters such as indicator lamps in electronic devices, traffic lights and instrument panels. It was not until the invention of the white LED (a end of 1990) that people began to take a closer look at their ability to replace incandescent lamps in homes or businesses. Being a technology that uses a semiconductor to produce light means that production and efficiency of the LED lights is improving at a rapid pace, today's LED replacements can achieve a life of 50,000 hours, while the energy they consume 80% less than a standard incandescent bulb. LEDs that produce a warm white light were invented by accident in 2005, but allow a person to replace incandescent bulbs with a light color similar to what we are accustomed. An additional benefit of lighting LED is that only a very small amount of UV or infrared radiation is emitted, so it is very useful in places where art is valued on the wall or discoloration can be a problem.

The current market is full of light bulbs and LED lighting solutions, but also is buyer beware. There are a lot of junk on the market today than when purchased and is undoubtedly disappoint you. Well Replacement LED bulbs are still expensive and the products cheapest on the market today, many of them are sold in big box stores, it will not last or produce or maintain a fairly bright light. On a side note, light bulbs LED (LED will not actually need to be a lightbulb!) Are not "burn out" instead of its useful life is measured in a percentage reduction of brightness. The Energy Department is using the substantial resources to promote LED lighting (also called SSL, or solid state lighting) and recently announced LED Energy Star specifications for residential use. That means that in the near future will have some assurance that a purchaser that the product they are actually buying up to their expectations.

Meanwhile, it is important to purchase your LED lighting from a reliable source with good customer service in case of any problems you might experience with this new technology. The companies that have established credibility through close collaboration with and travel to the factories of the leading LED lighting is a good place to start your shopping. Look for the offer of a money-back guarantee if you are unsure what they are buying and how it will work. Now is the time to start using LED lighting, but make sure you buy wisely and save yourself the time and money in the long term.
