How to Choose LED Grow Light for Growing Vegetables?

The use of  1000w led grow light is coordinated with the light saturation point and light compensation point of different plants. The light saturation point and light compensation point of plants vary with crop types and cultivation conditions. Some negative plants reach light saturation with less than 10,000 lux, while positive plants require tens of thousands of lux to reach saturation. Some four-carbon (C-port plants) are often not fully saturated when exposed to direct sunlight at noon (about 100,000 lux). Generally, the light saturation point of three-carbon (Ca) plants is lower than that of four-carbon (C,) plants. Below. Just list the light compensation points and light saturation points of several common crops:

How to choose led grow light for growing vegetables?
Plant variety Plant type Light saturation point Light compensation point Optimum sunshine length Sunshine type
eggplant Light plant 40-50thousand lux 2500lux 11-13h Moderate sunshine
tomato Light plant

70-80thousand lux

2500lux

12-14h

Moderate sunshine
chili Light plant 30-40thousand lux 2500lux 10-12h Moderate sunshine
cucumber Light plant 50-60thousand lux 2500lux 8-11h Short-term sunshine
lettuce Light plant 50-60thousand lux 2500lux

10-12h

Moderate sunshine

LED grow lights are selected according to the light saturation point
 
It can be seen from the above that if plants are growing due to lack of sunlight in the environment, such as basements and balconies, they are planted. Artificial light (LED grow light) needs to be used to replace sunlight to provide the energy required for photosynthesis for plant growth. The light intensity of the required light source must reach the light compensation point required by the plant to grow normally.
