Then and Now
led grow lights. Life was simple then. Let me take you back for a moment. In those days no one ever asked me to explain the spectral distribution chart. Truth be told, I had never even seen one. All I needed to know is if they wanted 600 watts or a 1000 watts. They purchased their ballast, bulb, and reflector and then came back six months later for a replacement like clockwork. Back then people knew what they wanted. No one ever asked me to define the microEinstein or to draw them a sketch of the ideal placement for their HPS. It is difficult to let go of the good old days. In the present, life is not so simple. The majority of people know little to nothing about gardening under led grow lights. This is one of the reasons that the newsletter has become so unexpectedly popular. People do not know what they want or need. Our clients depend on us to guide them through the learning curve. I am not complaining. I love my job. There is a certain amount of satisfaction that I get every time I can share a more efficient way of doing things. The point is that people need information in order to feel confident in their transition to LEDs. As it is with all new technology- acceptance is largely dependent upon understanding. If you are among those who are having a hard time accepting the fact that 9 watts of LED can grow healthy, robust plants- please do not hesitate to contact us. We will provide you with the information necessary to understand how and why it works.--AL *****************************************************************
If you are using or distributing the LED Grow Master line I would like to take this opportunity to thank you. I would like everyone to be as proud of themselves as I am. The best way I can think of to convince you that you should be proud is to explain what it is your lighting choice can do for the world. The obvious issue is energy consumption. The Department of Energy has estimated that LED lighting could cut national energy consumption for lighting by 29% by 2025. If you consider that lighting accounts for over 22% of all of the electricity used in the US it is apparent that this transition can go a long way towards saving our dwindling natural resources as well as significantly decreasing pollution created by supplying this energy. This is not the only way that you are contributing by using and promoting LEDs in the world of horticulture. Water shortages are becoming more prevalent throughout the world. It is hard to imagine the desperation that is felt in many parts of the world for this precious resource. Since 1950 the world's population has doubled and the water usage has tripled. As our population increases our freshwater does not. Because the LEDs create very little heat- we can dramatically reduce the amount of water required to produce food. This concept is becoming increasingly important when planning a future in many areas that do not have the luxury of a faucet. The previous issues are of primary concern among much of society but they are not the only two issues effected by using LEDs in place of other traditional light sources. By using led grow lights in your garden you require less nutrients and thus less waste is transported back into our water supply. LEDs do not contain lead or mercury which is present in other light sources. LEDs also have a much longer lifespan which greatly reduces the amount of material that will end up in our landfills.
