Why Choose LED Grow Lights?

HydroHobby are one of the UK’s leading stockist of LED grow lights. Our ever expanding comprehensive range of energy efficient full spectrum LED lights cater for every type and scale of grow.

Here at HydroHobby we have carefully selected only the best quality LED grow lights, providing customers with the perfect lighting solutions for their growing requirements. In recent years LED technology has developed to deliver optimum plant growth. Their superior light quality, efficient use of energy, slim design and long lifespan have made them the preferred choice of lighting for both professional and first time growers.

Energy Efficient LED Grow Lights

The development in LED technology has brought with it significant benefits to growers and their plants. The full spectrum of PAR light emitted from LEDs has shown to be far superior to traditional HPS lighting whilst also delivering more light per watt of electricity. This makes LED grow lights far cheaper to run (up to a 50% reduction in lighting watts when compared to other lighting systems) while also improving plant health and all important yields.
The energy efficiency of LEDs also means they give off far less heat than other types of grow lights (other lighting systems such as HPS constantly convert more than half of the watts they consume into infrared heat). This provides growers with far more control over their plants environment allowing growers to nurture healthier and happier plants.

No Lamp Changes

LED Lights typically have 50,000 hour life span, so they can operate for up to 11 years on 12/12 - with no maintenance. Many of the LED grow lights included in our range will see you through from seed to harvest, delivering a full spectrum to your plants - so no more switching between bulbs again.

Environmentally Friendly

Containing no toxic substances such as mercury LED lights are 100% recyclable - and all LED's are certified by the RoHS to ensure this.

LED Full Spectrum

The individual diodes in LED lights provide specific wavelengths of colour which are mainly reds, oranges and blues in the 580-630nm and 420-470nm ranges. This provides plants with everything they need to flourish - making LED grow lights perfect for all stages of plant growth.

Investing in LED Grow Lights

LED Lights are in their own league when compared to traditional grow lighting systems. With decades of research and development. Invested companies like Spectrum King have created the SK602 LED grow light which delivers the same light intensity as a 1000 Watt double ended HPS bulb.

Here at HydroHobby we stock all of the best quality and latest LED grow light brands, including - Lumatek, Gavita, Maxibright, SanLight, and GNUK Ltd. Our professional LED Grow Lights are ready to demo in-store, customers are giving us only positive feedback - seeing a big difference at harvest with increased yields. If your intention is to replace or add to your HPS Lighting System then we have a wide range of LED options.

Starting as low as £49.99 our Secret Jardin LED Grow 26w, Spectron 25w LED and SanLight LED Grow Light Strip fixtures are the perfect addition to any grow room lighting set-up. Providing a more even spread of light and a more balanced spectrum - without increasing temperatures and requiring little space. Some of our LED Grow Light Strips will allow you to daisy chain multiple units together using one LED Driver, built using professional LED Chips from companies such as CREE and Osram. You will see bigger and healthy yields as the light targets your plants rather than the side walls of grow your tent.

Dynamic LED Grow Lights

Products included in the Lumatek, Gavita and Maxibright LED ranges have been developed to include total control and automation providing features such as dimmer control, temperature safety control as well as sunrise and sunset settings. These advancements in LED lights provide growers with unparalleled control over their grow that can’t be found in any other lighting solutions. The linear design of LED grow lights also delivers maximum usable light to plants.

LED Overview

The initial purchasing cost of a LED light may be more expensive than other traditional grow lights, however the long term savings they provide make LED grow lights far more economical in the long run.
Proven to improve plant health and produce bigger and higher quality yields.

Saving Money with LED Grow Lights

With the price of energy bills reaching an all time high, many growers are now considering updating their lighting solutions to LED grow lights.
The developing technology of LED’s over the past decade has seen numerous growers and farmers make the switch. While many consider the move to LED’s beneficial for their yield sizes, the recent hike in electricity costs has sped up the transition for both home based hobby growers and large commercial businesses and farmers alike.

When compared against traditional grow lights, LED’s can save growers up to 50% on their running costs. The life expectancy of LED grow lights is also far longer than traditional lights, reducing the need for expensive replacements. Furthermore, the ongoing maintenance of LED lights is almost halved when compared against traditional grow lights. Brands such as Telos, Maxibright and Lumatek are offering 3,4 and 5 year warranties respectively on all of their LED grow lights.
