BackLED Grow Lights vs. Incandescent Grow Lights
Incandescent lights are the first generation of lights. Without any comparison, you can consider LED grow lights to be a better choice than incandescent lights. However, here is a comparison chart for your reference:
| Standard | LED Grow Lights | Incandescent Grow Lights |
|---|---|---|
| Energy Efficiency | Highly efficient | Consumes more energy; very low efficiency |
| Lifespan | Long; lasts 50,000 to 100,000 hours | Short lifespan; typically lasts 1,000 hours |
| Light Intensity | Customizable; you can adjust the light intensity according to the plant's requirements | Fixed light intensity |
| Promotes Plant Growth | Promotes healthy growth and higher yields | Less effective in promoting plant growth due to low spectral efficiency |
| Upfront Cost | Expensive, but can offset overall costs | Inexpensive |
| Safety Issues | Does not overheat, reducing the risk of fire | Has heated filaments, which may cause fire |
