Comparative lighting of cannabis: sodium, LED and LEC systems

Today, we will show you the difference between the three main types of professional lighting for indoor crops. The comparison is based on an approximation of the cultivation standard of 600 watts per square meter. The first device used for this comparison is well known. This is a kit made of more than 600 kinds of high-pressure sodium, which has been in the crop market for a long time and is widely known. For comparison, we used a 600-watt ballast and hybrid bulb. These teams have been using this field for a long time.

 

This is why its price is cheaper than mine, but in fact, this is the only advantage. The remaining price is inconvenient for their electricity consumption or monthly electricity bills. Their power wattage is very low. We must change the lights every three seasons. The heat it emits is also annoying. The yield obtained using this sodium device is 0.8 g to 1 g. For this particular team, per watt of power, we can achieve 500 grams of output for each installed device. In this case, the second system in this comparison is the panel system. According to the manufacturer, this is 340W Led 600W.

 

So far, these LED panels have not been used in large quantities to reduce prices and improve the products of chip manufacturers, thus occupying the market for a long time. Using 1.4 watts per watt, ta output is 1.1, that is to say, using these characteristics of the panel, we will get about 400 grams of harvest. The team’s advantage is that it generates very little heat, does not actually generate heat, consumes less power, and has higher performance. Compared with traditional lamps, it hardly gets hot, which is why they are very suitable for air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned situations. Finally, we have the LEC system. The latest system on the market is the ceramic lamp, which is a development of the sodium system. In this case, we have a LEC system under the VANQ brand, whose ballasts and bulbs are manufactured by PHILIPS, which is the main driving force for this new technology in the market.

 

Since 2016, it has been sold on the Spanish market. These systems are more efficient and generate less heat. We can use the LEC system to get 1.6 to 1.8 grams of powder per watt, especially through the team, we can perceive 510 grams of dried flowers. The main advantage of LEC lighting equipment is that it generates very little heat, and the light generated can pass through plants through ultraviolet and infrared light in the spectrum. How many of you know that this is useful for producing more resin, and high-quality crops are very useful. In fact, the lamp is replaced every 6 or 7 crops, so the price is not high compared to high-quality sodium equipment.

 

The only drawback we found in this team is the price increase, because the only ballast and bulb manufacturer at the moment is Philips, for the rest of us, he will need to wear sunglasses or sunglasses to protect them from UV rays. These devices. He is clearly a comparator.
