These energy savings become more important as energy costs continue to rise.

Peripheral Equipment
• Unlike HID lighting and fluorescent lighting require bulky ballasts. Our LGM5 is compact and lightweight. Up to four LED grow
lights can be run on a single power supply that plugs directly into a wall socket or bus line.
• LED grow lights require no reflector. The LGM product line is complete with built in reflectors to focus the light only where it is
needed.
Replacement Costs
• Replacing bulbs and ballasts is a recurring cost of traditional lighting that is greatly reduced using LEDs. LED Grow Master
bars are rated for 100,000 hours of life (over 11 years if operated 24 hours a day) with no light degradation.
Heat Management
• LED Grow Master lighting puts off only trace amounts of heat. High pressure sodium lighting creates a great deal of waste heat
that must be ventilated in warm weather when the price of electricity is at its peak.
Disposal Costs
• HPS and fluorescent lighting are considered hazardous waste and requires special disposal that includes disposal fees. LED
Grow Master lighting contains no lead, mercury, or glass parts. This not only saves money in disposal fees but also makes them a
safer lighting option for gardeners and the environment.
Water Use
• Plants will use far less water under a non-radiant light source.
Nutrient Use
• We recommend cutting nutrient use in half when gardening under LEDs.

Eight LGM5s is the maximum number of LEDs recommended for a 4x4 area indoors. Most applications would require 4-6 bars.
