Can I Use LED Lights for Hydroponics?

A type of new electrical light called LED or ‘light emitting diode’ is causing big changes in how businesses and households utilize electricity to light a space. Where traditional incandescent light bulbs throw out a lot of heat, and could cause some fire risks, LED lights are bringing innovative solutions that virtually eliminate both of these aspects that cause a lot of waste and hazard unnecessarily.

LED bulbs for traditional light fixtures are now common on the shelves of supply stores, but the possibilities for LED lighting go well beyond a desk lamp or track lighting set up. Items like LED rope lights embed a series of points of light into a linear plastic line that can be used to decorate all sorts of indoor or outdoor items or spaces where these kinds of lighting are used to reduce some fire hazard, the low heat and low fire risk of LED lighting makes this possible.
