Infrared photons are not utilized by plants in&nbsp;photosynthesis&nbsp;but they warm up plants and the environment. When using HPS and other traditional lights in a warm climate or simply installing many fixtures&nbsp;in&nbsp;an area, plants can&nbsp;be&nbsp;easily overheated,&nbsp;causing you to need additional ventilation.&nbsp;As discussed in Myth&nbsp;#1 on costs and ROI, fans and air conditioning electricity consumption will add more energy demand to your grow facility.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>LEDs are not just a replacement for HPS lights.\u202fHPS and other HID lamps cannot be placed close to&nbsp;the&nbsp;plants without burning them. Although LED lights,&nbsp;like&nbsp;every electric device, produce heat, their&nbsp;operating temperatures are much lower. They also do not emit heat radiation with their light. Therefore, they can be placed close to the plant canopy,&nbsp;saving space and&nbsp;reducing energy and infrastructure needs.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>LED&nbsp;grow lights&nbsp;are constructed to emit light as a beam directed down. Traditional grow lights emit light in all directions,&nbsp;making them require hoods and reflectors to direct the light down to the plants. This equipment adds bulk and is not efficient in directing light to the plants,&nbsp;indirectly increasing energy consumption.\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heliospectra.com\/led-grow-lights\/\">High-quality LED grows lights<\/a>\u202fare equipped with secondary optics. This helps to avoid \u201chot spots\u201d (a concentration of light directly under the middle of a fixture) and distribute light evenly over the growth area. They also ensure that the photons are delivered directly to your crop. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/eere\/ssl\/downloads\/energy-savings-potential-ssl-horticultural-applications\">U.S. Department of Energy&nbsp;report\u202f<\/a>examining the energy-saving potential of LED lighting in horticultural applications found that LED Grow lights offer a 24% to 30% reduction in electricity consumption compared to traditional horticultural lighting technologies.

As the light output of&nbsp;LEDs seems to degrade mainly based on the temperature of the air around the&nbsp;LED&nbsp;dome, the problem with the current design of&nbsp;LED&nbsp;grows&nbsp;lights&nbsp;is the equipment needed to evacuate enough warm\/hot air from the light and the air exhausts.

The heat LEDs generate originates in the semiconductors due to slight inefficiencies resulting when electrical activity is not turned into light. But as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heliospectra.com\/led-grow-lights\/\">LED&nbsp;grow lights<\/a>&nbsp;have no filaments,&nbsp;they&nbsp;are generally more efficient in this area&nbsp;than&nbsp;HPS&nbsp;light sources and, therefore, produce less excess heat in indoor&nbsp;greenhouses.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Proper heat management is critical for&nbsp;LEDs,&nbsp;as increased heat affects&nbsp;the performance of the\u202fLED\u202fnegatively, including a reduction in light efficiency, color shifts, and&nbsp;a&nbsp;reduction in&nbsp;LED&nbsp;lifespan. Since operating temperature is a major factor in the lifespan of an&nbsp;LED&nbsp;lamp, fixtures require a means for allowing warm air to escape. But as&nbsp;LED&nbsp;grow lights&nbsp;produce minimal heat, growers don&#8217;t need to spend a lot of time, energy,&nbsp;or&nbsp;expense dealing with excess heat when they can use small and reliable extractor systems for this purpose.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What is the best approach to keeping light arrays cool while keeping costs low?&nbsp;Water cooling is not 100%&nbsp;efficient at transferring heat, at least not yet. Locating the power supply outside of the growing area may give a grower half of the heat savings that could be realized with a water-cooled system, but what is gained in lower cooling energy is lost in line losses of long electrical&nbsp;cables.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Including fans (convection) to produce currents of cooling air is an effective way to manage heat issues, but fans introduce a moving part into the system. Moving parts typically break down long before\u202fLEDs fade. However, if you&nbsp;must&nbsp;purchase a unit with fans in it, make sure the\u202fLED\u202fgrow lights&nbsp;have a long warranty and the fans are rated for a lifetime that exceeds that of the\u202fLEDs.&nbsp;Even better,&nbsp;MITRA&nbsp;avoids fans altogether with simple but highly effective&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heliospectra.com\/mitra-commercial-led-grow-lights\">passive cooling<\/a>&nbsp;that&nbsp;ensures that the light and your growing room always remain&nbsp;at&nbsp;an ideal and consistent temperature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No matter which lamps you choose,&nbsp;you should always ask&nbsp;the manufacturer&nbsp;for a light plan.&nbsp;Hanging grow lights in the right position and distance will allow your crops to utilize the photons to&nbsp;their&nbsp;full extent.\u202fLights do not have to be static.\u202fLED grow lights&nbsp;enable a&nbsp;high level of control over the light output, especially when used in conjunction with&nbsp;smart systems like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heliospectra.com\/led-grow-light-control-software\/\">helioCORE\u2122&nbsp;<\/a>\u202fto control your lighting, adjust your light intensity and&nbsp;alter your light&nbsp;duration to the changing conditions in your grow facility. Using intelligent lighting control, you can&nbsp;adjust&nbsp;the light intensity to the momentary requirements of your crops.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#5.
