Lower Costs - The LED Grow Master LED Plant Grow Light can save you money!
LED Plant Grow Lights use less energy, Conventional grow lights consume between 100
watts and 1,000 watts of power to operate, Each LED Grow Master Grow Light uses less-than
2 watts of power This energy savings becomes more and more important as energy costs
continue to rise On average, LED Grow Master grow lights use 33-times less energy than
comparable metallic vapor lights (based on 3 LED Grow-Master Gro-Bars per 400 watt MH
light) Three LED Plant Master Gro-Bars, used 16-hours per day, at $0.10 per KilowattHour, will
cost about $21 per year to operate. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates
that every Kilowatt of energy produces 1.5 lbs of carbon dioxide (CO2). The EPA estimates
that for every 7,300 lbs of CO2 prevented is equivalent to planting one acre of trees. Based on
these EPA estimates, each 400 watt metallic vapor light replaced by LED Grow-Master Grow
Lights will yield a savings in energy-produced CO2 equivalent to planting nearly ½ acre of
trees per year.
Longer Bulb Life- Based on data published by the manufacturers of components used in
LED Grow-Master products, the expected LED Grow Master bulb life is 20,000 – 100,000
hours. This is ten to fifty times longer than typical glass grow light bulb life expectations.
Replacing glass bulbs every year adds a lot to the expense of a growing system. With the LED
Grow-Master Grow Light you won't be changing expensive bulbs every year.
No Ballast- Fluorescent tubes and metallic vapor lamps all need a ballast to operate, and
ballasts eventually burn out and must be replaced. The LED Grow-Master Grow Light doesn't
need a ballast, eliminating this recurring cost from your growing system.
No Reflector- Conventional glass envelope grow lights emit light in all directions. In order to
use as much of this light for plant growth as possible, these lights are generally fitted with bulky,
unattractive reflectors to direct light back toward the plants. With LEDs the reflectors are build
right into the LEDs themselves, so no secondary reflector is needed. Almost all of the light
generated by the LEDs in the LED Grow-Master Grow Light is directed straight at your plants.
Less Waste Heat- Conventional grow lights are very hot, running from several hundred
degrees to over fourteen hundred degrees Fahrenheit at the bulb's surface. This excess
radiated heat output adds to the cost to cool your home or office. Our grow lights are merely
warm to the touch, even after operating for hours, greatly reducing your supplemental cooling
costs.
Targeted Light Output: Unlike "broad spectrum" plant grow lights, which produce a lot of
light plants can't use efficiently, LED Grow-Master Grow Lights only deliver the colors of light
used by plants for efficient and healthy growth. By leaving out light plants don't need, we
provide still more energy savings over conventional plant grow lights.
Greater Safety - LED Grow-Master Grow Lights are safer to use in your home
or office!
Lower Voltage- Unlike conventional grow lights, which operate on 120 VAC at the bulb, LED
Grow-Master Grow Lights run typically on less than twenty volts at the bulb. This fact greatly
reduces risk or fire or injury, especially in wet growing environments.
Lower Burn and Fire Risk- The high heat generated by a typical metal halide or high
pressure sodium lamp is more than enough to ignite nearby combustible objects such as
paper or cloth. Their reflectors often get very hot as well and can cause severe burns if they are
accidentally touched. Our LED-based grow lights operate at just a few degrees above room
temperature. Just slightly warm to the touch while running, LED Grow-Master Grow Lights are
safer to use around children and pets.
Light Weight- LED Grow-Master Grow Lights have no bulky reflector or heavy ballast, and
weigh only a few ounces. The ballast of a standard metallic vapor lamp, on the other hand, can
weigh up to fifty pounds requiring special consideration when fitted to a reflector and hung from
a ceiling. LED Grow-Master grow lights are easy to place around your valuable plants, without
the risk of heavy objects falling from your ceiling!
Less Fragile- The glass bulbs of other grow lights are very fragile. The LED Grow-Master
Grow Light has no glass parts, and is much harder to break.
Less Environmental Hazard- Metallic vapor and fluorescent lamps all contain mercury, a
heavy metal identified by the U.S. Government as hazardous to the environment and our
landfills. LED Grow-Master Grow Lights contain no mercury.
Friendly To Your Plants and Home...
No "White Light" Glare- Other plant grow lights use technologies generally used to light
rooms and buildings, which makes them very bright to the human eye. The LED Grow-Master
Grow Light delivers light that is very bright to plants, but relatively dim to people. Your plants get
what they need without the "white light" glare you don't want, making our grow lights welcome in
your kitchen and living room, instead of your basement.
Plants Stay Cooler- There are two types of plants, those whose chemistry works better in hot
weather, like corn, and those who like it cooler, like most plants you'd choose to grow indoors.
Most cooler growing plants shut down when it gets too hot to avoid losing more water than they
can bring up from their roots. The LED Grow-Master Grow Light gives your plants all the light
they need, without the heat of conventional grow lights, letting them grow quickly at room
temperature.
Cuttings Root More Easily- The leaves of plant cuttings are often snipped in half to reduce
water loss until new roots are formed. For cuttings of many types of plants, this isn't necessary
when using the LED Grow-Master Grow Light. Since your cuttings aren't wilting under the heat
of the sun or conventional grow lights they can keep their leaves to speed new root growth.
Lower Chance of Heat Induced Root Damage- Plant roots don't like to be hot, and potted
plants left in direct sun are prone to root damage where sunlight heats the surface of the pot.
The same damage can occur in closed rooms with hot, conventional grow lights and
inadequate ventilation. The LED Grow-Master Grow Light operates at such a low temperature
that incidental root damage is unlikely.
Less Watering- Using the LED Grow-Master Grow Light, your plants will transpire less, letting
you extend the time time between watering cycles. If you need to leave your plants unattended
for a few days they'll have a better chance of surviving if their grow lights aren't drying them out.
Good News for Terrariums and Other Plants Grown "Under Glass"- Plants with high
humidity requirements, like African Violets, ferns, and many carnivorous plants, are commonly
grown in Terrariums, also called Wardian Cases. Unfortunately, the combination of high
humidity with the heat from most light sources, either the sun or conventional grow lights,
causes a great deal of condensation on the inner surface of the glass, obscuring your view of
the plants inside. By using LED Grow-Master Grow Lights to light your Terrariums no heat is
added, over 85% of the light from the LED Grow-Master Grow Light passes through to your
plants, and the glass stays mostly clear of condensation. Some seedlings with very high
humidity requirements are grown with glass covers over their pots for a period of time. Getting
enough light to these plants is a challenge, but not if you use the LED Grow-Master Grow Light.
The LED Grow-Master Grow Light emits so little heat, it can be placed directly on top of the
glass cover if desired.
Enjoy Delicate Blooms Longer- Flowers are very delicate, as can be seen from the spotting
and edge burning they get outdoors. Richly colored rose petals fade quickly under the summer
sun. This is not true when flowering plants bloom indoors under the LED Grow-Master Grow
Light. Miniature roses have been grown with LED Grow-Master Grow Lights with blooms that
were picture perfect and unblemished, with some varieties having flowers that lasted for
months without change.
Greater Versatility Lets You Be Creative...
Completely Directional- Most grow lights can only be mounted one way - suspended from
the ceiling and pointing toward the floor. And even if they can be hung different ways, their
bulky reflectors make this a lot more difficult than you might like. Small and light weight, the
LED Grow-Master Grow Light can be positioned any way you like. And because it produces
very little heat it can be mounted within the foliage of large plants, ensuring all parts of your
plants get the maximum light they need.
Use Only As Many Lights As You Need- With more cumbersome grow lights, you often
have to bring your plant to wherever you are able to mount the light. Wouldn't it be better to put
your plant where you want it...on a table, on a shelf, on a windowsill...and bring the light to the
plant? The small size and lightweight of the LED Grow-Master Grow Light let’s you bring the
light to your plants. If your plant has a cascading form, arrange lights to shine on the plant the
way it naturally grows. There's no need to light up half of your living room just to try to grow a
few prized plants indoors.
