Grow Lights VS Regular Lamp Lights

If plants need light to grow, then why don’t your indoor plants flourish under the everyday lights you use to light your way each evening? The answer is actually quite simple: not all lights are created equal, and many are specific to certain wavelengths of light. These wavelengths are what makes up the light spectrum, some of which are explicitly used by plants to help them grow and produce, while others are simply to help you find your way. If you have ever wondered about the specific differences between a grow light vs a regular light, then your explanation can be found below.

What Is an Regular LED Light and an LED Grow Light? What’s the Difference?

Grow lights produce more power than their regular counterparts. The intensity of the lights helps increase the rate of photosynthesis, as it ensures that the plants have sufficient energy to grow. There are different grow lights out on the market with different intensity levels that affect the power they produce.

  • Illumination purposes: Regular LED lights are solely used for providing illumination in a residential or commercial sphere. LED grow lights encourage plant growth.
  • Light variety: As we mentioned, you can select from a variety of grow lights that suit your budget and needs. These include HIDs, fluorescents,  incandescent, and, of course, LEDs.
  • Colors available: Here’s what we covered in the intro. Normal LEDs do have a color spectrum, but it may not be as comprehensive as that of grow lights. For instance, LED grow lights need both blue and red light spectrums. The blue allows your plant to experience vegetative growth while the red can promote flowering.

While regular LEDs are great to have at home since they last practically forever and can save you money, don’t get it confused. LED lights are not the same as LED grow lights. If you’re providing a light source for your plant, a grow light will ensure they reach their full potential. That’s not to say you can’t use an LED or another non-grow light source, but grow lights work better.

What Makes a Good Grow Light?

Most grow lights provide full-spectrum light. Most of the light plants use is from the blue ("cool") and red ("warm") ends of the spectrum; they use little yellow and green light. Blue light stimulates vegetative growth (foliage and roots) while red light stimulates plants to produce flowers and fruit.
