Selecting the Right LED Bulbs for Indoor Gardening Success

Why LED for Plants?

LEDs are small, lightweight, produce plant-usable light, run cool (no cooling equipment), and use far less electricity than HID/HPS/MH.

Matching Light to Plant Stage

• Seedlings: Need blue spectrum for sturdy growth.
• Mature plants: Need red/orange spectrum for flowers/fruit.

LED Bulb Types and Uses

• Red LED bulbs: High output, 1W each.
• Green LED bulbs: For working on plants during dark period—plants can't use green light, so it doesn't disrupt photoperiod.
• Custom spectrum units: Tiny 1W LEDs selected for specific spectra create fixtures with only plant-usable light.

Directional Advantage

LEDs are directional—position to shine straight down. Traditional bulbs need reflectors.

Choose Wisely

Match LED spectra to your plants' growth stage for thriving indoor gardens.
