What are the components of a complete LED plant growth light? The first is the lamp bead, which is the core of the LED plant light and the part that really plays a role. All other parts serve the lamp bead; then there are power supplies, fans, reflectors or lenses, housings, and others. The lamp bead is the most important component. We are most concerned about the lamp bead's parameters, such as power, lumens, life, brightness, layout, etc., but ignore the importance of other accessories.
Take the LED plant lamp housing as an example, the main functions of the housing include convenient installation, heat dissipation, visual effects, and safety-related. The material of the shell is mainly metal shell and plastic shell, and the cost difference is huge.
(1) Whether the plant light shell is easy to install
The installation environment and the weight of the lamps must be considered here. If it is a small area of plant lighting, the impact is not great from the perspective of installation. Generally, LED plant light strips, plant spotlights and small panel lights are used, which are lighter. You can use a rope to hang it yourself, but it's a little more troublesome. However, no matter how large and multiple LED plant lights are, as long as they are carefully designed, there will be very solid pins around the shell for easy suspension. There will also be some supports, especially LED plant light strips, which are easy to move and can adjust the angle of illumination at will.
(2) Whether the housing of LED plant light is convenient for heat dissipation
The main component for heat dissipation of plant lights is the fan. The shell is used as an auxiliary heat dissipation tool. The main influencing factor is its material. Generally speaking, the heat dissipation effect of metal shells is much better than that of plastic shells. High-power LED plant lights with special heat dissipation measures are needed on the market. Most of them also use metal shells, but in the case of fierce market competition, products with plastic shells continue to appear. Can the LED plant light with a plastic shell be used? It certainly can, but if every other component is exactly the same, the life of the plastic shell plant lamp will be greatly reduced. It is not conducive to heat dissipation on the one hand, and it also affects the life of the lamp beads. The weathering speed of the plastic shell itself is faster than that of metal materials. Many, thus affecting the life of the entire lamp.
Some people will say that it has been a long time for the LED plant light with a plastic shell, and there is no problem. At this time, please use a power meter to test the actual power of your own lamp. Whether it is very different from the seller’s indicated lamp rated power, it is very likely to be used 1W lamp beads charge 3W lamp beads, even 5W lamp beads, reduce the actual power to reduce heat generation to maintain a balanced state of normal use of the lamp.
(3) The housing of the LED plant light affects the visual effect
At present, the main colors of the LED plant growth lamp housings on the market are metallic gray, black, white, and others. The visual effect is different according to personal hobbies. You can choose the color you like. It is recommended to use white and metallic gray, which are also the most widely used colors. Another point to be said here is to follow the concept of energy saving and environmental protection to maximize the use of light. It is recommended to choose metallic gray and white, because LED plant lights use red and blue light mainly, and black will absorb light, although the amount of light is very small. , But it is still not recommended, and the lamp is originally a bright incarnation, and it is indeed not particularly suitable to be equipped with such a black angel. The gray and white are better integrated into the green of the plant, the red, blue, pink, yellow and so on of the plant lamp light.
(4) The impact of LED plant lamp housing on lamp safety
The shell material of LED plant light affects transportation safety: during the transportation of goods, it is inevitable that there will be collisions and shaking lights. The delicate packaging of LED plant light manufacturers is essential when they leave the factory, but for the lamp itself, the quality of the shell material is also It will directly affect the damage rate; the housing of the LED plant light affects the installation safety: whether the installation of the LED plant light is stable and long-lasting directly affects the safety of the lamp and the service life of the lamp. Plastic products are exposed to light, especially strong light. It is easy to age and its performance will decline linearly under the exposure of the light. If a plastic case is used, it must be checked regularly; if it is a metal case, the inspection time can be greatly extended.
