a simple solution to greenhouse growers supplementing light for year round food production. The economically priced modular design of LGM540 LEDs allow you to purchase several light bars and spread your light over a greater plot size. Spending less and using less energy than with larger, high watt grow lights covering less area. Our commercial design covers a wider area giving plants light from multiple overlapping light sources. Saving up to 90% of the electrical costs and lasting 10-20 times longer than traditional lighting, LED Grow Master LED plant lighting is changing the way growers think about light. To understand the advantage of modular design one must simply be familiar with the inverse square law of light intensity. The law states that light intensity decreases as the square of the distance from the light. For example, a grow light hung at 36” above the plant canopy will have approximately ¼ of the intensity of the same light hanging 18” above the plant canopy. HPS lighting is fit with bulky reflectors to compensate for some of this light loss but the fact still exists; plants grown directly below these 1000 watt units are getting far more light than plants positioned 4-5 feet from the light source. Using modular units to spread targeted light over the entire plot ensures a more uniform light intensity. Modular LED design further increases the efficiency of a greenhouse or indoor application by minimizing the amount of natural light being blocked out by the lighting fixture. All high watt HPS or fluorescent lamps and ballasts are bulky, blocking out large amounts of sunlight. The greenhouse model LGM540 is compact, letting the Sun shine through. One 21" x 2.5" (533.40 mm x 63.5mm) light bar can cover approximately 6 sq ft as supplemental lighting over a greenhouse plot. The patented, wide-spectrum light output wakes your plants up in the early morning, and puts them to bed at night just like the sun; making LGM540 the perfect supplemental lighting choice for any greenhouse.--AL
face it- how far would that go towards fighting today’s issues of world hunger, freshwater shortages, resource depletion, and pollution? We need a modern day super hero to address the real issues that are facing our population. In this high-tech society, it only makes sense that this hero would be born of a research lab, then wired and soldered, before given form in a mold. This is just what the engineers at SolarOasis did. Following years of research and development, SolarOasis announced the filing of a series of patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the first consumer LED plant grow lights in 2003. Their eco hero's powers include the ability to grow food, anywhere, using a fraction of the water and nutrients required by traditional farming. Their inanimate hero draws power from the sun and wind. Our hero is 100% recyclable at the end of its unnaturally long life. Jonathan Cardinale, founder of LED Grow Master Global, LLC stated, “SolarOasis has made breakthroughs in lighting that rival Edison’s introduction of the first practical incandescent bulb. The technology opens the door to new methods of growing with far more efficiency than anyone would have imagined 10 years ago.” Despite the wave of LED plant lights that have entered the market since this first array, SolarOasis remains the clear leader in efficiency with each light bar running on a mere 9 watts of electricity.--AL |
