| LED Grow Lights Cost Comparison to HID Lighting |
| Electricity Costs vs. HPS |
|
| These energy savings become more important as energy costs continue to rise. |
Peripheral Equipment
• Unlike HID lighting, led grow lights require no ballast. Up to four bars can be run on a single power supply that plugs
directly into a wall socket or bus line.
• LED Grow Master lighting requires 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 10-12 years of life with no light degradation.
Heat Management
• LED Grow Master lighting puts off only trace amounts of heat. HPS 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.
