LED Grow Lights FAQ

• What are the frequencies of red light and blue light?
  Both red and blue light are part of the visible spectrum. This is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye, which means that it can be detected by your eyes. Red light has a wavelength between 620-750nm (which is short for nanometer) and a frequency of about 400-484THz (which is short for terahertz radiation). Blue light has a wavelength between 450-495nm and a frequency of about 606-668THz.
• Why is red light important for plants?
  Red light is the primary source of light on the spectrum for photosynthesis. The red region has a utilization peak around 660-670 nm for Chlorophyll A and around 635-645 nm for Chlorophyll B. Chlorophyll is essential for the growth of plants. Plants generally make good use of all red wavelengths.
• Why is blue light important for plants?
  Photosynthesis works most fundamentally from red light, while blue light is used for a secondary function. However, many plants have some need for blue light for proper growth regulation and/or flowering and/or fruiting.
• What can I grow?

They are also great for growing or perking up any houseplant. Grow Lights make excellent choices for cloning and seedling lights since they can be placed in tight spaces without worrying about heat build up. The lights can be used within all stages of plant growth.
• Who would use an LED Grow Light?
  They are used by home hobbyists, urban gardeners and commercial growers. Even NASA uses LED grow light technology to grow plants in space!
