LEDs are most often recommended for grow lights, though some fluorescent and incandescent bulbs can work. The most important thing is that the bulbs offer full-spectrum illumination and produce waves of red and blue light, which is often necessary for plants to thrive indoors.
1.PPFD Value : PPFD is Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density. When you choose a plant light, you should compare the PPFD values of different plant lights. The larger the value, the better the growth of the plant.
2.Actual Power: Because the actual power of the plant light always varies with different conditions, all sellers use the rated power to describe the power of the product because the rated power is constant. When you pick a LED Grow Light, the rated power of the plant light is a reference, and more importantly is the actual power.
3.Core Coverage: In addition to the above two, when you choose a plant light, you also need to compare the cover area of different plant lights, of course, the size of the core coverage area. In general, in germination stage, you can hang the plant light higher and the cover area is larger. In flowering stage you can hang the plant light lower and the cover area is smaller because the plant needs more light at this stage. You have to compare different coverage areas to choose the plant light that suits you.
