San Francisco based LED lighting company, Elemental LED has introduced new LED grow lights which can solve the two common problems including heat and costing in indoor gardening lighting application.

The new LED grow lights can stay cool and use a fraction of the energy of conventional indoor grow lights. Recent advancements in LED technology have led to the development of LED grow lights using red and blue LED lights.

LED grow lights have many advantages compared to HID lamps. Blue and red LED lights create one-tenth of the energy costs, and almost zero heat. LED light bulbs can be placed as close to the plants as possible, allowing indoor growers to make full use of their lumen output without burning the plants. Blue LED lights can be used in the vegetative phase to replace MH bulbs, while red LED lights can stand in for HPS bulbs.

On average, indoor gardeners depend on the heat emitted by HID lamps to warm the rooms for their plants. However, a small space heater in conjunction with LED lights produces more heat and uses less energy than HID lamps.
 
Elemental LED offers affordable LED lighting options for the indoor grower. Its Waterproof Flexible LED Strip Lights come in red and blue, and can be placed in enclosed boxes or closets to create a small indoor garden. At only 1.5 watts per foot, they use a small fraction of the energy of HID lamps, and require one power source for every 30 feet of lighting. Since they are waterproof, these lights are effective in hydroponic gardens.
