The Benefits of a Full Spectrum COB LED Grow Light

Full spectrum COB LED Grow Lights are carefully engineered to provide the complete spectrum of visible light needed by plants to carry out their biological processes. Your plants need various wavelengths of light throughout the grow cycle, as each color spectrum signals the plant to perform a different function related to growth and development. Blue light promotes root development and stocky growth. Red light encourages budding and promotes high yields in the flowering phase.

Even green light has a role to play. While plants absorb only miniscule amounts of green light for photosynthesis, chlorophyll reflects green light, allowing light to penetrate deeper into the canopy as it bounces off the top of one leaf and onto the underside of another.

Full spectrum COB Led Grow Lights are designed to accommodate for the exact needs of your crop with a tailored light spectrum. No color spectrum is used in excess, and no essential wavelength is excluded.

The main limitation of COB LEDs is that they are fixed spectrum. There is no possibility of changing the spectrum mix as you can with traditional SMD LEDs. The spectrum of a COB LED is formulated by mixing a custom blend of phosphor that is used as a coating over the COB LED. This phosphor mix then emits light. It is possible to change the spectrum a little by changing the phosphor mix – but this will be fixed to that spectrum. Traditional SMD LEDs can be mixed to get a specific spectrum and to change them by raising or dimming the different colors.
