USB Charger Spy Cameras To Secure My Tea Garden

I recently bought a whole bunch of USB charger hidden cameras. I was having problems with theft in my garden and I knew I needed some hidden spy cameras to find out who the culprit was.

I researched a lot of different types of hidden cameras and learned, for one, they are often referred to as nanny cams. This is because they are used by parents to spy on their nannies to make sure their children are well cared for.

But these so-called nanny cams have many other uses as well. They can be used to do surveillance in your office, to make sure your employees are actually doing what they’re supposed to, or to make sure no one is stealing anything. That was the purpose for me buying them.

My tea garden has been growing larger and larger. That means I have been adding more and more LED grow lights. These LED grow lights are quite expensive and it would be a big blow if one of them were to go missing. Luckily, that has not happened, but other things have been going missing. Several pairs of gardening shears, pots, soil, watering cans, and various other gardening tools have disappeared.

I have some security cameras outside the property, both real cameras and fake cameras, which make it look like I have more cameras than I actually do, but none of those cameras caught anyone breaking in. There were also no signs of forced entry. For that reason, I know it is an inside job. One of my employees who works in my garden has been stealing from me.

That is why I decided to get some cameras inside the garden. But I did not want to have regular surveillance cameras, because they are obvious and then the thief would just not steal anything, or they would make sure they would only steal things where the cameras can’t see them. I wanted to catch the thief red-handed, so I knew I needed well-hidden cameras.

After researching, I learned there are so many cameras that are completely undetectable, unless you use an electronic device to detect them, or you look extremely hard and you know what to look for. These spy cameras take all kinds of shapes.

A hidden spy camera

There are some that looks like a regular water bottle, meaning you can take it with you anywhere. There are others that attach to your clothing, like button cams, which, as the name might suggest, look exactly like a button. There are ones that look like pens and black sunglasses, too.

None of these would obviously work for my purpose. I needed one that would be in a room without a person there. I guess the water bottle one would work, but it is too easy to move. So I looked into ones that would fit the natural the core of the room.

There ones that look like picture frames. Actually, they are picture frames, but they have a camera in the frame. It would be weird to suddenly have photos in my tea garden, so this one would make no sense.

Similarly, cameras that look like clothes hangers or smoke detectors or light bulbs would not make sense in there either. I suppose I could add a regular light bulb, but my employees know that the grow lights are the only lights I have in my greenhouse. For that reason, adding a regular light bulb would be suspicious.

But one thing we always do have in the tea garden are USB chargers. We often just leave them in the outlets. This way, the employees can charge their devices while they are working. They can also use powered speakers to listen to some music while they are working.

These USB chargers just always stay plugged in, because it’s easier that way. When I learned that there are USB chargers with hidden cameras in them, I had my solution.

I replaced all of the USB chargers in my tea garden with the new hidden camera USB chargers. They look basically the same and work to charge USB devices just like a regular charger. I’m not sure anyone even noticed that they were new chargers, or if they did, they wouldn’t suspect anything. I could just tell them that I upgraded the chargers, because I got better ones.

All of these chargers together covered most of the greenhouse area. There are very few parts that were not covered by the cameras. Of course a thief could always steal something from those uncovered parts, but since they weren’t even aware that cameras were watching them, they wouldn’t think to do this.

Sure enough, it only took a day to catch the thief. I actually let him steal a few more things, to get plenty of evidence from many angles. I presented it to the police and they arrested him. It was one of my longer-term employees, so I was very disappointed. I was also very angry. I think I will probably sue him, to get my money back and also to punish him more. With our justice system he will not spend a lot of time in jail.

Those USB hidden cameras really did the trick. The only problem is now everyone else knows that they are there. They are not happy that they are being watched at work, but they do seem to understand why I had to take that step. Unfortunately, if anyone else wanted to steal something, they know exactly which areas to avoid now. But, as long as nothing else goes missing, I will not add any more hidden spy cameras to my garden.… Read the rest....

Hammocking Away My Days In My Tea And Herb Garden

Regular readers of this site will know that I have several gardens that I tend to. I’ve got my standard flower garden outside. I’ve got my herb farm indoors. I’ve got my new indoor tea garden. And I’ve also started going some herbs and tea outdoors, because why not.

I spend so much time gardening because I absolutely love it. It is my favorite thing to do. I’m constantly finding new things to work on in my gardens. But there are times when there is nothing to work on in my gardens and I still want to spend time in one of them. There are a few ways to spend time in your garden, but one tops all the others in terms of relaxation and just chilling out. Can you guess what it is?

I won’t build up the suspense. I’ll tell you right away. It’s a hammock. Nothing beats a hammock for relaxation. I got myself a parachute hammock and I’ve set it up so that I can hang my hammock in any one of my gardens and really and truly enjoy being among my plants and relaxing.

hammock in a garden

Outdoors, I have enough trees that I can hang my hammock in various locations near any one of my outdoor gardens. I could be near my flowers or near my tea garden or near my herb garden. There are plenty of spaces to hang everywhere.

It is also easy to hang a hammock from a tree. You simply take the hammock strap and wrap it around the tree and loop it into the into the end of the hammock. There are a lot of hammock calculators and such things online that tell you exactly how high to hang your hammock, but I don’t find those are very necessary. You can just eyeball it. If you lie in it and it feels comfortable, then you did it right.

The main thing you want to pay attention to is to lie in it correctly. You don’t want to lie in it like a banana. That will start to hurt your back after a while. You want to by lying a bit diagonally. Your legs should be on one side of center and your head on the other side of center. Your midsection is right on the center.

When you lie like this in your hammock, you end up lying completely flat. There is no curve to your back. The material supports you from below and you are super comfortable. It is almost like you’re floating and you’re not being curved in any direction. You can even lie on your side in this position and be completely comfortable.

In the summer months when it is warm, I am always in one of my outdoor gardens in my hammock. But when the weather gets cold, that is not nearly as much fun anymore. That is when I move everything indoors. It is also more secure indoors, because I have my whole garden covered by USB hidden cameras. I did it to catch a thief, but ended up leaving the cameras in place for added security.

hammock on porch overlooking garden

I hang my hammock up right in the middle of all the cameras in my basement, where I have my indoor herb and my indoor tea gardens. I have also installed all the music equipment I thought I needed to own. That means a high-quality stereo system with a top-of-the-line record player.

Here what I did is I bolted hammock hooks into the wall. Actually I used two hammock hooks. I put them in the perpendicular walls in the corner of the room. Then I can hang my hammock between those two hooks and swing away in the corner. Naturally, this is not as nice as hanging out under the sunshine, but it is still pretty cool under my artificial grow lights. I’m still among my plants and I’m still relaxing. And you can’t beat that, can you?… Read the rest....

Harvesting And Drying Our Homegrown Tea

If you follow the blog at all, you remember in the last article, I mentioned that we had started growing our own tea indoors. I know it was a long time ago, but I finally have gotten around to writing an update on what is going on with our indoor tea garden.

If you remember, we basically use the same method for the tea that we were using to grow our herbs indoors. This means the same grow lights at the same strength. We basically didn’t change anything; we just added tea plants to the mix. We figured this would be a good move since tea doesn’t flower.

freshly picked tea leaves

It turns out, though, that tea needs more sunlight than the herbs we had been growing. For that reason, the grow lights we had were not quite strong enough. We’re going to keep trying to grow tea, but I think were going to put it under its own set of grow lights.

Most likely we will get LED grow lights. I’ve been looking at several brands and I think we’re going to go with the Next Light Veg 8. It is a specialized light that is made specifically for plants that veg only. It uses white LED light, which means that you can actually see the plants the way they naturally look in sunlight. If you’re at all familiar with LED grow lights, you’ve probably seen photos of the pinkish glow. That is not something we want. That makes it difficult to monitor your plants.

As for the tea we harvested, even though it took a long time to grow, I think it turned out pretty well. It’s certainly not the best looking tea I’ve ever seen, but it does look pretty good considering it was our first attempt.

The leaves are well-formed and we’ve actually gotten two solid harvests out of our garden. We took an early harvest, where you take the very young leaves. These make the most expensive teas, like the white hair silver needle white tea or the golden needle black tea and a few others.

tea leaves drying on bambooThen we harvested again to make other types of teas. These second harvest leaves are often called second flush and we used them for some different teas.

Now we are in the process of drying and fermenting the leaves. We are going to try to make all kinds of tea. So from the young leaves we’re going to make probably some white tea, some green tea and some black tea. From the older leaves we’re going to make all three of those types plus also some oolong tea.

We really want to experiment and see which type of tea lends itself best to our specific leaves. I’m really excited about this. In a future article, I think we are going to go into more detail on the fermenting and drying process. It really is quite fascinating. I mentioned last time that had been reading up on all of this and I think I’ve learned the different methods of processing leaves. I want to do it the traditional way that the Chinese and the Japanese do, because I love their tea.

So stay tuned for that article, it should be quite interesting. If you have any interest at all in tea, then you’ll definitely want to read it. It might not be our typical indoor growing topic, but I think any indoor grower can find it exciting enough. Am I right?… Read the rest....

Planting Tea In Our Greenhouse

As any regular reader knows, here at Edge Hill Herb Farm we grow all our own herbs in our greenhouses. We also grow fruits and vegetables. Now, we have decided to start growing tea plants as well.

This came about after reading an article on a different site. I can’t remember the site, to be honest. I want to say it was Let’s Drink Tea, but I don’t believe it was. I’m a regular reader of that site, because I love all their matcha recipes and the buying guides for various teapots and electric kettles and, of course, for all the tea recommendations. But I just checked and I didn’t see an article on there about growing your own tea. It must have been a different site.

Wherever I saw it, I really liked the idea. I try to make sure all my tea is organic and healthy, but that is difficult to do. You really never know what you’re buying, no matter what the label says. This is especially true from for tea from countries like China or India. In addition to those countries, a lot of tea imported to the West comes from Sri Lanka and from Kenya. Really, the only tea growing country where I trust the labels is Japan. Even tea from the US, which is grown in Hawaii, simply doesn’t strike me as trustworthy. There too many stories of corruption with the FDA and other groups like it.

tea plants growing under sunlight

For that reason, it seems to me that growing your own tea is a great solution. Sure, you can get all your tea from Japan, but they really only do green tea very well. Personally, while I love green tea, I also love a good black tea or oolong tea and those do not really grow in Japan. That’s not true, actually, since it’s the same plant, but the Japanese don’t process the leaves into those types of tea. They basically process the vast majority of their tea plants into green tea. So, if like me, you really want a truly organic oolong tea or black tea, the only way to ensure you’re getting that is to grow your own.

What we did here is set aside a decently sized corner of our greenhouse for these tea plants. We ordered a specific strain from Japan, that is said to be one of the best. We’ll see about that. We decided to grow the tea indoors, because our area here does not have the right kind of climate for tea. It would probably work, but the plants would not thrive and the resulting tea leaves would not taste as good when brewed.

We just started, so it is too early to see to say how it will go. Basically, we are using the same grow light set up as we’ve already been using for our herbs. Tea does not flower, so we really don’t need anything different. In fact, sunlight will work fine for part of the year, but in the winter months we obviously have to supplement the sunlight with horticultural lights.

I realize there is not really much more to tell about our tea garden, but that will hopefully change soon. So stay tuned, because we will update you here on the progress of our tea plants. Hopefully a few months from now, we will be able to harvest the first leaves and turn them into actual tea.

I’ve already got my hands on several books on how to process tea leaves and it actually seems pretty easy. There are a few different methods, but none of them seem too difficult. But we’ll get to that when the time comes to harvest. For now, I just wanted to let you know that we’ve embarked on this project. Wish us luck!… Read the rest....

The Best Grow Lights For Your Indoor Plants

Garden grow lights are vital items for an indoor garden to flourish; poor indoor lighting can cause a failure to set fruit or bloom and turn your leaves yellow. There are several types of good grow lights for your indoor garden that are used for different styles of indoor gardens. This site has reviews of popular grow lights.

indoor herb gardenIndoor grow lights can replace the natural lighting or complement the sunlight needed for growing. There are indoor plants that have a problem with direct sunlight but benefit from artificial grow lights. The sunlight that plants use converts the carbon dioxide into the sugars that are needed for proper growth. Garden plants such as vegetables, herbs, and flowers will need from 6 to 8 hours of full sun each day for them to set fruit or bloom. Accomplishing this is basically impossible unless you are constantly moving your indoor garden from window to window. This is the reason we give our plants the additional artificial light for growing healthy.

Fluorescent lighting is a form of grow light that is very common because they give off a good amount of light for your plants without the risk of burning them and they are less expensive to purchase. The fluorescent bulb labeled T-5 is an ample source of light because of being small and they give out a more concentrated light. This type of light is good for plants that like to have some shade. Indoor vegetable gardens that contain lettuce and spinach and indoor herb gardens prefer to have this type of lighting.

HID or high intensity discharge lights are a very effective lighting for indoor plants. They are available in two different types: HPS or high pressure sodium and MH or metal halide. The HPS are used most often used as flower grow lights because they give off a red or orange light which inspires the plants to flower. MH garden grow lights are best suited for stimulating leaf and shoot growth due to the blue spectrum light they emit. Incandescent grow lights are mainly used to add extra light to some of the plants that do not absorb very much natural sunlight. Incandescent bulbs tend to be more expensive than and not as effective as other types of grow light systems. These bulbs also give off more heat than light and if the plants are too close to them they will burn the foliage. Incandescents are best if used for highlighting plants instead of helping them grow.

Mercury vapor lights can be very expensive if you grow a large number of houseplants or a large indoor garden. The mercury vapor bulbs will give off more light and less heat than the incandescents. This means they are a great source of light for any type of indoor plant. LED or light emitting diode indoor grow lights is the newer style for indoor plant growth. These lights do not send out any damaging heat and will emit more light per wattage; because of this, these lights are able to be placed closer to the plants and do not cause damage.

The lights you use should be placed as near as possible to the plants without burning any part of the plant. A 25-watt incandescent should be no closer than one foot from your plants; the 100-watt bulb, two feet away and the 150-watt 3 feet away to prevent burning. Most of the indoor plants will need grow lights from twelve to sixteen hours each day. To help encourage foliage growth, MH lights need to be running 18 to 24 hours each day. You will only need 12 hours each day for the HPS grow lights for budding and flowering.

The way your plants are growing informs you if the are getting sufficient lighting. Some of light deficiency symptoms include long stem lengths between leaves, very little or no growth of the plant, the leaves are smaller than normal and there are no buds or flowers. The foliage on some plants might turn yellow and fall off prematurely. If any of the symptoms occur you may need to relocate the lights or purchase better garden grow lights.… Read the rest....

Improving the Growth of Plants by Use of Grow Lights

There are some types of plants that are grown indoors nowadays and this is because of advancement in the level of the technology used. Grow lights are very important lights that contain or emit light beams and these beams of light are suitable for the growth of different plants. They can also help keep you warm if you hang under them in a hammock just to enjoy being among your plants. Plants can be grown indoors and others grown in the fields and the main factors necessitating this is because of the conditions of growth that are necessary for this plants and due to lack of enough space.

The grow lights are used for those plants that are grown indoors because of lack of light from the sun. They allow us to grow anything, from tropical fruit, to cacti, to tea plants.These lights comprises of UV rays and electromagnetic spectrum that are very important for photosynthesis to take place. When buying these plant light bulbs you need to be very careful so that so you can buy the right ones and this is because they produce various beams of light that are suited for the growth of different plants.

Plants convert the chemical energy from the grow lights in order to feed themselves. This energy produces fuel that is used to support the life of the plant and its survival. When winter time arrives most plants find it hard to grow well and this makes them to breathe their last because they are not getting sufficient light from the sun. This on the other hand may hinder the rate of growth of plants. Most people grow plants indoor during winter so that they can easily supply them with sufficient LED grow lights for their growth. Some people may wonder how these grow lights work like the sun but they do and do you know how? They produce beams of light with a spectrum that is almost the same as that of the sun.  Sometimes they even work better than the sun because there are some that produce a tailored spectrum that is important for the growth of specific plants. Below are some of the key advantages of using the full spectrum LED grow lights:

Improving the Growth of Plants by Use of Grow Lights

LED lights are also better in terms of the light that they produce as compared to CFLs, MHs and HIDs.

Easy to control the amount of lights produced.

There is a very big difference between the light produced by the grow lights and that which is natural from the sun. The grow lights for indoor plants can be controlled and this is very beneficial to the gardener. It also can help prevent sunburn if you are swinging away in your hammock in your garden.

They are valuable, so keep them secure with surveillance cameras

Grow lights, especially LED grow lights are expensive. You want to make sure you invest in a good security system to keep them secure. Even just a few hidden cameras strategically placed can make a huge difference toward security.… Read the rest....

Grow Vegetables All Year Long with an Indoor Grow Tent

The naturally produced plants and different crops have ling served the purpose of human nutrition. Even in the earliest days of human civilization these were the companions of humans, with which the human race has survived till date. As the technology has started growing its space in the human life, many areas have been benefited from it. The domain of cultivation and farming has also undergone a change in which various new inventions are playing their part to make it productive and effective. You can obviously take the example of full spectrum LED grow lights.

There has been a growing demand for home grown food. Even tea is now being grow by hme growers. Alongside the area of cultivation and farming is also experiencing a depth. It enables the availability of different vegetables and fruits throughout the year. Some people also use the hydroponics indoor grow tent. It is a method of cultivating plants without the making use of compost and soil. Rather the plant is provided with the necessary nutrients through artificial means so that it does not need any kind of soil.  Some people also use the indoor grow tent

What is an indoor grow tent

A grow tent is a structure composed of a box. The box is usually made up of PVC plastic and  canvas .the color composition of this box is white and black, where inside is white while the outside of the box is black.  This specific composition allows the inner walls to radiate light. In this way the light eventually reaches the plant. The black colored exterior allows the heat absorption. Apart from this basic equipment you can also get the grow lights for indoor plants, to boost up the fast growth of vegetables and different plants. Many other types of equipment are also available in the market. Find out more in this post.

Characteristics of indoor grow tent

  • These are mostly affordable, with a price range of around $250 to $2500. Obviously the variation in the price is because of the grow size and the resulting production of vegetables and plants. When you have invested for these tents or for the full spectrum LED grow lights, the rest is all which deals with nutrients and seeds. Because of its wide range affordability these are also being used by both the domestic as well as the commercial users.
  • These tents are environment friendly as they re able to keep an account of saving in terms of water and energy. So many people think that these tents are a step towards green environment. The grow lights for indoor plants can further aid you in this quest.
  • These are also quite customized and within the control, so they are less prone to drastic conditions it is possible because in case of the indoor grow tent, the provision of light, water and food is through artificially means and is under strict supervision. In case of energy or extra use the conditions can be easily changed.

Why You Should Care About LED Grow Lights

LED or Light Emitting Diodes managed to attract a lot of interest since NASA investigated its impact on plant growth in outer space. Indoor gardeners from far and wide were particularly keen to find out more about the potential LED grow lights would have in encouraging growth while at the same time reduce the cost of electricity.

Besides, which gardener wouldn’t welcome the opportunity to make their selection from a wide spectrum of lights that are available at a fraction of the cost of other known lights used to foster indoor plant growth. Initially, the prices of LED lights were very high. After reading this article also read our top article here. Thanks to atechnologically advance made, and the fact that more and more people are showing an interest in this new technology, it became far more affordable.

What makes it possible for LED grow lights to be in such high demand to the extent that more users than ever before are considering buying it?

Benefits Exposed

Why Should Users Consider Buying One?

Why You Should Care About LED Grow Lights

Top quality LED Grow Lights have been engineered to ensure maximum growth of flowering and fruit plants. It’s been said that they can foster superior yields to what can be accomplished using regular bulbs. You can also click here to get more from our experiences. As long as you exercise caution when using them, you will be fine. People make use of these to grow vegetables, fruits and an array of indoor flowers. You need to know how it works and ensure you pair the right light to the right plant to obtain maximum performance.

Some people claim they had some issues with these grow lights, and that it simply do not work. However, on further investigation, it was established that they did not know what to look for.

What makes grow lights driven by LED better than standard ones? For one, it used less power and lasted for a longer period while very little noise can be detected. What is more, if you think about the frequency with which plants need to be fertilized to ensure their survival, LED comes out tops. If you are not satisfied and need to know more you can checkout this link:http://www.instructables.com/id/Growing-Plants-With-LED-Lights/ here. This isbecause the light is different to any other, produces less heat so that plants do not need to be watered too often. Also, plants under LED lights would not require as many nutrients. The reasons for reverting to LED are numerous and worthy of your consideration.… Read the rest....

The advantages of using LED grow lights over other light sources

LED grow lights can help plants grow because they produce a light source that replicates natural lighting, known as the light spectrum, which optimizes growth. The unique blue, orange and red spectrum was originally developed by NASA to enable plants to grow in large numbers on the space station. Astronauts were able to take seeds along with them and grow plants to improve their diets while traveling through space – without any natural lighting. This was analyzed and tested and it proved to be a brilliant way of growing edible plants under artificial conditions.NASA engineers invented the LED lighting which is capable of cooling (using electricity), which produces a small mass of calefaction and provides the exact spectrum plants need for nutrition and, ultimately, growth.

Most experts believe that LED lighting will change all future light sources including fluorescent tubes and standard lighting. One of the better world lighting manufacturers has managed to utilize the testing an analysis undertook by NASA and developed LED lighting for every day use. Cheaper to run, more energy-efficient and lasting much longer than standard lighting, there is strong support for using LED lights for different lighting sources.

 

Here are some of the benefits of using LED lighting to grow plants of all types:

– LED grow lights provide a perfectly simulated environment for all plants by converting electrical energy into light. LED grow lights use up to 80% less energy of standard lighting and, in contrast, only requires only around 5% of the power. LED grow lights utilize NASA technology to generate the perfect light spectrum and wattage in order for all kinds of plants to grow and flourish.

– LED grow lights provide a lower carbon footprint than standard lights, yet produce enough warmth to allow for growth. This kind of lighting is perfect for using under tents or in confined spaces, as ideal temperatures and lighting can be created to promote photosynthesis. Our own upcoming use in our tea garden should confirm all of this.

The advantages of using LED grow lights than other light sources

– The low heat generated by the LEDs are perfect for a child’s bedroom, offices and apartments – in fact anywhere you live or work. In a closet, a shed, outside under a tent or in the attic you can grow food, such as vegetables all year round, using the minimum amount of space – even when it is freezing outside, your plants will continue to flourish.

–  As there is little or no need for the use of soil – though most plants require a substitute – you can grow plants in small or even tight spaces. Also as there is little or no UV lighting it reduces heat and omits the possibility of overheating and drying out the plants. Other light sources used in small or cramped spaces produce too much heat. This dries out the moisture in the air and, in return, dry out the plants which can kill the plants or won’t enable them to grow or produce crops. You can also visit our best article here.

– LED grow light hoods are perfect for growing plants in small spaces. Though it’s one small unit it produces enough light and heat in order for the plants to grow successfully. And as they are small and portable, you can set them up anywhere you have space. They can even be directed at the perfect angle between 120 and 360 degrees in order for your plants to benefit even more. Just make sure to have some kind of surveillance system, with security cameras to watch your garden. The lights are valuable and cameras will catch any potential intruders.

LED Grow Lights

Lighting has come a long way from the ancient of times use of firewood to the modern technologically advanced system of lighting. The modern lights have been well improved to ensure that there are no side effects that may cause adverse effects to both humans and plants. Most of the LED grow lights for sale today are the modern make of lights that have gained popularity making people rely overly on them due to their great functionality, reliability and effectiveness.

Getting the right grow light is never easier especially in the current market where there are a lot of fake products circulating and others imitating the original products. It is always important to get a perfect one if you are doing farming and you want your plants to get all the right nutrients.

 

What Is An LED Grow Light?

This is a unique type of light that has gained popularity in the recent times as mass produced lamps in the market. You can also try our top article here for more information. They are known as indoor grow op as they are greatly used to ensure that you can get a perfect environment for your plants. They are known as one of the most effective, powerful and space-saving grow lights that greatly helps every individual who is looking forward to achieving a greater height of success and business growth in the growing career.

They are also energy saving and allows people to enjoy the great use that produces the best results at all times. Through their use, there is the use of hydroponic technology to ensure that the plants grow perfectly and the inclusion of a wonderful airflow system that ensures they are cool and well filled with oxygen. Indoor growers are always encouraged to use these types of lamps to witness the changes and the positive outcome that they give within a short time of their use, whether they are growing weed, simple herbs or something as exotic as tea.

 

How Do LED Grow Lights Work?

The lamps work effectively in a variety of different ways that make them stand out unique in the market. They always function by sending electric currents through a well-developed semiconductor material that are highly valuable. Through this semiconductor material, it excites electrons that are known to create a powerful that is generated from a small bulb in the system. Through the use of different types of materials in the semiconductor, LED diodes are created, and they come with unique and different wavelengths of light.

It is through this well-calculated process that the indoor plants can grow perfectly as the regulation of light perfectly favors them. The lamps have watts that help in the heating levels to be sent to the environment, for instance, there are those who produce 1000 watts, and there are those which produce less than 1000 watts.

LED Grow Lights

 

The Benefits Of Using LED Grow Lights?

There are benefits of using these lamps as compared to other types on the market. Their benefits can only be seen if we compare with what other lamps will produce as compared to the greater LEDs. To begin with, they are regarded as space saving designs, other types of grow lights need a lot of space in the room and at the same time, they will need more equipment to help them run smoothly. With this one, you are free to enjoy the great outcome as they are small and do not occupy a lot of your space in the grow room. There is no worry that comes from extra equipment to run the lights, and you can move them freely as you change their position.

 

The second benefit of this type of grow lights is that they are also power efficient. They greatly save you a lot of money that you would have used in paying electricity bills. They are reliable and a good source of energy saving. Another benefit of these lights is that they are long lasting. They have the ability to serve you to more than 50,000 hours of use to about 100,000 hours before replacing. Other lights only last for about 20,000 hours.
