Wattage Replacement for HPS and LED
Are you planning to make long-delayed high-pressure sodium to LED conversion for your home or office lighting? LEDs are the latest and best lighting technology yet, using fewer watts to produce high levels of brightness.
High-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps are often unmatched in terms of energy efficiency. However, there is only one other type of lighting that can outperform HPS in this category, and that is Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The technology's popularity isn't just because of its energy efficiency. Compared to the dull yellow produced by HPS, the quality of light produced by LED lights is much higher. Additionally, LEDs waste less energy producing waste heat, resulting in a longer lifespan and optimal energy efficiency.
| LED | HPS |
| 240w | 600w |
| 320w | 800w |
| 400w | 1000w |
| 650w | 1600w |
| 720w | 1800w |
| 800w | 2000w |
| 1000w | 2500w |
We understand the concerns of these growers and want to show what our products look like so these customers can make the best decisions for their situation. We want to prove that our LED lamps are excellent HPS replacement lamps, but we want our customers to make this decision for themselves. Let's get into some details:
Differences in Spectrum
Yes, indeed, LED garden lights have a different spectrum compared to HPS lights, which are commonly used for flowering due to the high level of red light. HPS lamps also cover nearly the entire PAR spectrum, while many red/blue LED lamps to lack the PAR spectrum in the middle of the PAR range.
AGLEX provides customized services, professional and experienced engineers can provide solutions for you. Growers can choose a spectrum that suits their unique situation while covering the entire PAR range from 400-700nm.
Flowering
After introducing the spectral differences between HPS and AGLEX LED products, there are a few other elements related to flowering that need to be discussed. Since HPS lamps are not adjustable, precise manipulation of the flowering spectrum is not possible. In addition, AGLEX Grow Light contain far-red LEDs, allowing growers to further control the phytochrome response of short-day flowering plants.
