LED grow lights all use some type of lens to focus light that is emitted from an LED diode because LED diodes emit light in all directions (just the diode not the entire LED component).  An LED lens is an important factor is choosing any LED grow light to ensure you are getting the perfect balance of both light intensity and light coverage.  Too many sellers of lights claim to have the best ratio but they never say why or tell you the drawbacks to their lens, and they all have drawbacks.  If you are planning to purchase an LED grow light please read our complete guide to LED grow light lenses, which includes details on why we chose 90 degree lenses and the drawbacks to other lenses which we tested thoroughly before beginning production.

LED Grow Lights come in many sizes and shapes including what is known as a UFO LED Grow Light.  A UFO grow light is one of the most popular sizes due to low starting costs.  LED UFO Lights are round in shape and usually include 90 LEDs ranging in wattage from 1w to 3w of power per LED. 

New UFO LED Grow Light with OptiCurrent Technology

Our new LED UFO Grow Light called the 120w Extreme Flower LED UFO grow light is the most popular UFO grow light we offer and now includes the latest OptiCurrent Technology.  OptiCurrent is designed to maximize the light ouput of any LED grow light while minimizing the total power consumption of the light itself.  The 120w Extreme Flower LED UFO Light has an extreme amount of PAR output with all 3w LEDs and now with OptiCurrent Technology the grower can minimize the power consumption and overall operating costs of each light.

The Most Powerful UFO LED Grow Light

The average UFO LED grow light has all 1w LEDs and pulls roughly 78w of total power with a 2ft x 2ft.  The 120w Extreme Flower LED UFO uses all 3w LEDs and, with OptiCurrent, uses 120w of power with a 2.5ft x 2.5ft coverage area.  This intense light output is stronger than any other UFO LED grow light and has been proven to grow dense vegetation and flower structures. 

Available January 2011.  More details will be updated and featured here when we have stock available. 

Our latest tests have been completed and we are proud to announce our All Blue LED Grow Lights are now available.  Our new veg light produces an extreme amount of intense PAR that is 100% blue with output spectrums ranging from 415nm-470nm. 

Benefits of All Blue LED Grow Lights

All blue LED grow lights have a huge advantage over other types of grow lights that are mainly used in vegetative growth such as Metal Halide and florescent lights.  When plants are in vegetative growth cycles the main color of light needed is blue light.  In the spring, plants that are outdoors naturally get a larger dose of blue light from the sun which leads to very strong growth of leaves, stems and other vegetative structure.  Other grow lights such as Metal Halide and florescent are not as efficient in producing blue light because these lights output a wide spectrum of light(white light) which includes blue but also includes other colors of light such as red, green and yellow.  Our All Blue LED Grow Lights allow growers to provide only the blue light plants love, enabling the garden to be very efficient during vegetative growth without any sacrifices.

Key Features of Our New All Blue LED Grow Lights

Our new All Blue LED Grow Lights use a proprietary technology with some key components:

- USA Made Bridgelux Blue LEDs

- 3w and 1w HO Bridgelux LEDs

- Secondary Focusing Lens 

- Multiple Wavelengths of Blue LEDs

If your garden is using Metal Halide or florescent lights to grow during vegetative cycles then you could benefit from our new Extreme Veg LED grow lights.  These new veg lights are offered in 120w, 180w, and 360w with prices starting at $299.  We offer a 90 day money back guarantee so you can try them risk free to see the results yourself.  If you have any questions or would like to place an order, give us a call at 1-800-401-6307.

Before we begin, please answer the following question:

Which light do you would think is the best for growing plants that fruit or flower?

1.  A full spectrum light (warm white) with very high Lumen output.

2.  A light with low Lumen output but high PAR output(when compared to light #1).

Although this is a loaded question that is hard to answer, most people would choose 1.  For the past twenty years HID(HPS and Metal Halide) lights have been the main workhorse for so many indoor growers and the high Lumen output has been the benchmark for measuring a lights potential.  If you are growing plants that fruit or flower you really need high light intensity but not high Lumens,  just high PAR.  I  know this may seem shocking but our latest tests have proven this. 

We tested two lights against each other, the first light was our control light using our 180w Extreme Flower LED grow light, the second was the same as the 180w except the entire light was built from extremely high output white LEDs from Bridgelux.  This test light used all 3w LEDs and was tested for both Lumens and PAR against the control light.  The tests showed that the test light had 500% more Lumen output(comparable to HIDs) than the control light but the control showed a surprising 130% higher PAR output than the high Lumen test light. 

Although light meter tests can be helpful they are nothing compared to a true grow test.  In our grow test we used the same wattage, same growing medium, same plant strain,  same temperature etc.  We started the plants in two different grow tents side-by-side and kept all the conditions the same including light time.  During the first few days of the seeds sprouting the high Lumen lights seem to win out over the Extreme Flower LEDs as the sprouts grew taller and began to set leaves slightly faster.  Again for the first leaf sets it looked as though the high lumen light might actually beat the control light due to slightly faster vegetative growth and taller plants.  At week two the high lumen light was taller than the control light but the number of leaf sets was the same and the internodal spacing was beginning to stretch.  At week three it became obvious that the control light plants, although shorter, were much more dense and had a higher growth rate than the high lumen light.  The internodal spacing on the control light was tight and the leaf sets were seperating extremely fast with lush vegetation.  The high lumen light showed signs of stretching and less branching, with an overall growth rate that seems to be less than the control light so far.

This test is still ongoing with but the Extreme Flower LED Grow Light(control light) is showing fast dense growth.  So far the test is showing that higher Lumen output is not a good indicator of plant growth potential.  It would seem to indicate that proper color output(high PAR output) mixed with high light intensity leads to the dense plant growth many indoor growers are looking for. 

We will update this grow test with flowering data and yields as they become available.

In recent years LED lights have become more powerful with the addition of stronger 3w diodes(the part that emits the light). You can now buy LED lights that will have from 30-200 3w diodes which are much more intense from farther away than their 1w predacessors.  A 3w diode has the same look as a 1w diode but they perform very different.  A light with 1w diodes should be as close to the plant as possible for the intensity necessary to grow dense plants.  A light using 3w diodes on the other hand is very strong and can be placed above your plants for a wider coverage area.  A light mover is great for 1w lights to increase coverage especially when combined with a sea of green and a good net trellis.  Another big difference in 3w diodes is the cost.  Lights with 1w diodes are typically 1/2 the cost of the newer 3w lights ranging from $179 from $897.  At the end of the day if you need an intense light that produces a very heavy harvest then a 3w light is for you.  If you are looking for an economical led grow light for a small number of plants then a light with 1w diodes will work great.
