cob led grow light

WHAT IS A COB LED GROW LIGHT? Let’s start by breaking down each part of this grow light that’s still relatively new on the market. There are L ED grow lights , and then there’s the COB part of the light. You may be familiar with LEDs and why they’re great to use for simulating sunlight, but let’s go over that, too. LEDS Typically, LEDs used as grow lights for indoor gardens include an array of colors to help mimic that of sunlight. So, plants get a spectrum of red and blue lights, along with green sometimes (these sometimes appear white). You may have seen these spread out in grow lights that are large with each individual LED encased in a tiny bulb. COB This stands for “chip on board,” and it’s a way of clustering LEDs in a concentrated area. When it’s turned on, it looks like a single light, rather than an array of tiny lights like a spider web. These lights are usually housed in ceramic, copper, or aluminum, which acts as a heat sink to help dissipate heat generated by all thos...

Why Grow with COBs? COB LEDs are more powerful than traditional 3 Watt and 5 Watt diodes, giving you stronger canopy penetration. When growers claim that LEDs "don't work" it's usually because they don't see the same kind of canopy penetration as an HPS bulb. COBs fix that. Including greater electrical efficiency, a higher spectrum, and longer lifespans, chip-on-board (COB) lights are high quality grow lights that have many advantages. However, the primary benefit is that they emit less heat than standard LED bulbs. This means you’ll be able to get more light in less space. In other words, they’re more efficient than traditional LEDs. When compared to standard LED and HID grow Lights , LED COB lights create less heat and have a higher spectrum. This enables you to reduce grow room hot spots because the overall light distribution is greater.
