THE ADVANTAGES OF THE LED GROW LIGHT
Low energy consumption
Up to 80% more energy efficient than HID lighting. Also eliminates power consumption caused by fans and air-conditioning systems. Environmentally-friendly, reduces your carbon footprint by reducing your use of electricity produced by burning fossil fuels. PortaGrow 55 watt grow panels provide more light than typical 45 watt panels for about the same price.
Low heat output
Although LED lights may be slightly warm to the touch, they produce very little heat. They will not scorch young, tender or delicate plants. They are safe, no chance of fire, burns, or exploding bulbs. They have no thermal footprint.
Moisture resistance
PortaGrow’s LED grow panels have a thermoplastic body and backing instead of the fiberboard backing of a typical LED grow panel.
Long lifespan
High-output LED bulbs have a useful lifespan of 30,000 to 50,000 hours which is up to 7 ½ years at 18 hours per day.
Flexibility
The PortaGrow 55 watt LED panels are only about a foot square and 1 ½” thick but cover 4 to 5 square feet of growing area. They are easy to position and hang almost anywhere in your home, and can be placed close to your plants without danger of burning foliage. They can be daisy-chained and have individual switches, seldom found in other LED grow panels.
Quiet
No noisy lights or ballasts.
Economical
Low power consumption, no mechanical cooling needed, long bulb life, no ballasts to replace, low initial cost, low life-cycle costs.
