Innovation is moving ever faster in the cannabis industry. Since Spectrum King debuted its patented full spectrum LED lighting fixtures almost a decade ago, growers have increasingly been moving toward LED technology to increase yields, improve the quality of crops, and decrease operating costs. 

LED grow lights have gone through some major changes over the last few years, with greater demand driving companies to create new solutions in an ever-growing industry. But what exactly goes into setting up an LED grow light assembly – and is it right for your operation? 

Before diving into the specifics, you should first ask yourself a few questions:

A firm understanding of your operation is essential when determining whether to switch to LEDs. If you understand the operating environment in detail, it will give you more control over your crop and, ultimately, better results. By understanding the operating environment and how LEDs will affect it, you can make good decisions up front that will pay off many times over.

As you consider this information, keep in mind that balance is everything. Each component of a grow operation needs to work in harmony to create the best results possible – with cooling and moisture control being just as important as the fixtures themselves. Below are some things we think are most important to consider as you venture into LED lighting.

If you shift from HPS lighting to LED fixtures, it is likely that the change will alter the grow environment at first. The following are a few critical factors to understand and consider before installation: 

With these factors in mind, it is time to start shopping. As you shop, you’re going to encounter a lot of marketing pitches, with varying levels of accuracy.  Make sure you understand the basic LED components to help you make informed decisions and ask the right questions as you compare products.

An LED fixture can be broken into four parts – diodes, driver, surge protector and frame. 

The most common killer of LED assemblies is a power surge to the driver. An outage for even one day could be detrimental to a crop, so investing in a high-quality product with tried-and-true surge protection is like buying extra insurance for your facility. Spectrum King is the only manufacturer to offer dual surge immunity on both the driver and LED board in all of its lights, providing two opportunities for the light to react in mere nanoseconds, stopping surges before they do real damage to the fixture. 

It makes sense to invest in quality fixtures that have been designed to provide the highest output without busting the bank. Spectrum King prides itself on providing the absolute best value in LED lighting, with industry-leading output and quality at prices that will help you grow big at affordable prices. For example, SK’s Phoenix 1050W linear LED has been made with the highest-quality diodes on the market, and operates with an industry-leading PPE rating of 2.8. It also provides up to double the photon output per dollar compared to its competitors. 

Another thing to think about is what lights will need to endure in a grow environment. It is inevitable that condensation will be a factor, so seek a light with a tested IP rating (measurement of how protected the LEDs are to water and dust) that offers ultimate protection. An IP65 rating means that the light has been tested by a third-party lab, and is dust tight and water resistant to direct spray from a nozzle. All of Spectrum King’s lights are at a minimum IP65 rated. 

Finally, cultivators should seek a lighting manufacturer that can also serve as a trusted business partner. Good manufacturers not only sell products, but also provide as many tools and resources as possible to offer growers choosing LEDs the best chance of success. This is precisely why Spectrum King LED offers personalized support to help with every aspect of growing with LEDs, from installation to managing the facility. We also facilitate tours of our partner facilities, so you can see our lights in action for yourself. Growing cannabis is not easy work. There is a lot that goes into creating a successful ecosystem, and the last thing a grower wants to worry about is a faulty lighting assembly. The future of cultivation is here, and it begins with LED lights. Reach out to Spectrum King LED at sales@spectrumkingled.com or click here to make the switch.
