LED grow light and LED aquarium light technologies

Thermal technology of the Apollo LED grow light

Heat dissipation is one of the main techniques while designing a LED grow light, it will fundamentally affect the whole equipment’s function and operational lifespan. And heat dissipation is also a bottleneck of the LED grow light industry, for 110 degrees Celsius is the highest temperature that the LEDs can bear. Higher than that, they will be burnt. And, in fact, if the inner temperature of the apparatus is higher than 80 degrees Celsius, the LEDs could be severely destroyed and soon got the problem of light attenuation, and it is the light decay that could be the grim headache of many manufacturers offering LED grow light. When the light attenuation appears, it also indicates that the lifespan of the equipment will end.

So, facing the demand of the worldwide users looking for great LED grow lights, a new generation LED grow light-Apollo LED grow light was born last month.

Unlike the old model LED grow light which has been imitated repetitively over the past several year and in fact was invented by Mr.Pan four years ago, which has also been proven to cause inner greenhouse effect and affect the lifespan of the whole lamp, the Apollo LED grow light is completely revolutionary new technology, from its outer case to the inner space, every part has been designed with well ventilating performance.

By building two large square vents at each end of the Apollo LED grow light, the inner temperature can be discharged immediately while the light is operating. Both sides of the lamp are built with many little holes for discharging the additional heat. The inner heat-sink of the Apollo LED grow light is designed as the computer CPU fin heat sink system-built with many small slots to increase the performance of discharging heat.

So, assembling with this new thermal system, the Apollo LED grow light will never cause inner greenhouse effect, and the testing figure shows that the inner temperature of the Apollo is less than 60 degrees Celsius after having continuously run more than 18 hours. And this will finally protect the LEDs from high temperature then fundamentally support the long-lasting lifespan.

Apollo LED grow light has been imitated, but its advanced technologies are still far more beyond its competitors.

LED grow light bar

The LED grow light has been very popular and efficient now,and the LED grow light bar is one sort of the LED grow light.It is a mini grow equipment and also very popular,especially to those households which are growing little plants and vegetables in their own tiny greenhouse.Especially in the United Kingdom,many households grow tomatoes and vegetables indoors and the LED grow light bar has helped them so much.

Besides all the technologies of the normal LED grow light,the LED grow light bar has an additional advantage,its waterproof function.This function makes the bar can be put into the water directly.And its waterproof rate is 68 IP at present.

The LED grow light bar also can be manufactured as mixture wavelengths in one item,such as Blue 430nm,440nm,450nm and 460nm;Red 630nm,660m,;Orange 610nm and 615 nm;IR and UV.

Now,four types of them are the most popular ones:30cm(11W)-built with 11 pieces of 1W LED lamp beads,60cm(22W)-built with 22 pieces of 1W LED lamp beads,90cm(33W)-built with 33 pieces of 1W LED lamp beads and 120cm(44W)-built with 44 pieces of 1W LED lamp beads.

Granted,by compare to the other powerful LED grow lights,the power of the bars may be too low.But to those people who are going to do some experiments but don’t  want to invest to much money,the LED grow light bar can be their most perfect choice.

But now,one method has been proved to help users solve the low power of the LED grow light bars’. Assembling some pieces same lengths of bars by using some relative brackets,the powers of the bars’ can be increased multiply.For instance,assemble two pieces of the 30cm-11W LED grow light bar by using two pieces of brackets,its combination power will be 22W,but its length is also still 30cm.So,to those whose plantation is not long enough but wide,this method is a perfect solution to increase the light source.

In fact,heat dissipation performance is the bottleneck of the LED grow light bar,for the whole equipment is built with waterproof materials and without fans,so the heats generated by the LED lamp beads cannot discharge well enough,the inner temperature of the bar can be a bit high.And since high temperature can cause light attenuation problems or burn the lamp beads.So, the next generation of the LED grow light bar must be built with effective heat dissipation performance then can be more and more amazing.

The LED grow light at present

There is no shortage of suppliers who are offering ‘new’ LED grow light at present.There is no shortage of manufacturers who are providing good quality LED grow light on the international market.There is no shortage of terminal users who are demanding amazing LED grow light around the world.And there is no shortage of great opportunities to get really good LED grow light at the moment.

By why many providers of the LED grow light facing sales diminish?Why are more and more users confronting a bad situation-their lamps do not work as they expected?

Over the past several years,most of the producers acted as irresponsible providers.They produced LED grow lights and sold them,they never thought about whether their products were really suitable for the terminal users or not.They never thought about how to improve the LED grow light into a more qualified and effective apparatus.

The old model of the LED grow light sold on the market was invented by Mr.Pan four years ago and has been adopted repetitively.It was an talent invention in fact.But over the past four years,its practical function has been proved to cause many problems,especially its heat dissipation performance, its maintaining work,its penetrating capacity,illuminating distance and actual power,and so on.

We know the photon flux density of the LED grow light is very significant to the plants,it can finally affect the vegetative growth,if the density is dense enough,the plants then can absorb enough energy from the supplemental light source so that they can keep growing steadily.

Fortunately,now some new designs and technologies have been adopted in to the LED grow light industry.By introducing the optical lenses to increase the penetrating capacity and illuminating distance.By introducing modular design to improve the maintaining work and user DIY convenience.By introducing the technology of the computer CPU heat sink to strengthen the ability of the inner heat dissipation function.By introducing intelligent monitor system to help users supervising the working condition of the whole lamp.

As the driver of the old model LED grow light was not safe enough,its electric board has a potential danger,it can cause a high press back-flow electric current and shock users.We know the old model LED grow light’s inner power voltages can be as high as 150V Direct Current,it is more dangerous than the 220V Alternating Current.

Now,a new driver has been invented,it’s design is based on isolated concept,and combines the series and parallel technology.And the new LED grow light built with this safe driver,its output voltage can be less than 50V Direct Current,it is very safe and will never shock users.

LED grow lamp in the North countries

We have talked about a great number stories of using LED grow lamp in lots of places and regions helping human beings to solve the bad circumstances and severe situations.

Now,we will discuss the LED grow lamp in Russia,a big country located on the North semi-sphere and its inhabitants have confronted tremendous severe living problems.Russia is the largest country in the world,but its population is very little compare with China and India,its living condition is also not better than the other countries,for its cold and dry climate,most of its field cannot grow vegetables. So,growing equipment is a good apparatus for Russians,if fact,traditional growing equipment have been using for years. And these years,LED grow lamp acted as a very amazing growing device,it has also captured the Russians’ attention.

Some Russian have introduced LED grow lamp into their household growing project.They grow eggplants,tomatoes,strawberries and the other little plants in their indoors greenhouses.They also grow some little cabbages as hydroponics plants.

In fact,most of the LED grow lamps using in Russia had imported from China. But as the transportation is not convenient enough,the deals between Russian farmers and the Chinese manufacturer are often stuck.By air,the fees are to high,for most logistics companies(such as DHL or UPS) have not marched into the Russian market,and only EMS can transport LED grow lamps to Russia,but each deal must at less than 30Kg-about two pieces Apollo 12 LED grow lights or four pieces Apollo 8 LED grow lights;by sea,the shipping period is to long and the risk of assurance is another problem;By train,not only are the fees not very worthwhile,but also inconvenient.Every day,many Russian users ramble at the LED grow lamp manufacturer websites to look for the most suitable equipment and the most worthwhile price for their hydroponics projects.

Actually,not only are the Russian households facing the bad climate of growing vegetables outside,but the other North semi-sphere countries as well.They are also facing the bad transportation problems. So,to those terminal users living in the North countries,providing them a good LED grow lamp is not enough,manufacturers must provide a good shipping method. Only in this way can the business become better.
