Posted on October 24, 2021

There are many brands of indoor grow light bulb available in the market today. But that indoor grow light bulb is best for your indoor gardening? This is a frequently asked question among indoor gardening enthusiasts and indoor gardeners because only some of them are familiar with the different brand names of these indoor lighting fixtures.

Some indoor plants enthusiasts prefer Trane, Lowes and Hortens name a few of the most popular brand names but there are others that prefer other brand names such as Lowere, Verona and Hunter. Most of the indoor plants enthusiasts choose indoor plants bulbs manufactured by these companies because they are of good quality, produce minimum heat dissipation and use energy efficient light bulbs.

The Trane brand has been sold for many years now and is still one of the leading brands in indoor gardening equipment. They have a good track record and provide long-lasting bulbs.

Other indoor grow light bulb manufacturers are also in competition with each other. They are trying to come up with better quality bulbs that give better quality and brighter lights for a longer lifespan. Some of their bulbs have a longer lifespan than others. The lifespan of a bulb depends on the type and quality of the light output. High output bulbs tend to be very expensive but they last longer.

Some of the indoor garden companies are trying to catch up with other brands in the market by producing lights that have longer life spans. Their bulbs are more expensive than those produced by other manufacturers. They have introduced new technology in their brand and provide better color spectrum and color temperature presentation. Some of the companies have improved the HID or high intensity discharge technology indoor garden lighting systems.

One indoor gardening company has introduced a new indoor gardening LED light bulb that has a shorter lifespan. This brand has replaced the conventional a19 LED light bulbs in garden lighting systems. The a19 indoor gardening LED light bulbs are expected to last for twenty years. An average horticulturist who uses this brand will replace his a19 bulbs every five years.

It is important to buy indoor grow lights that use energy-efficient chips. It is better to use the energy-efficient indoor grow lights as they consume lesser amount of energy. Low voltage lights are used for indoor plants when the indoor plants need more light to grow. These low voltage grow lights can be used with any kind of indoor plants including houseplants.

Some people like the natural sunlight effect when growing indoor plants but they do not like the heat effect that artificial indoor plants tend to have. Some indoor plants cannot tolerate direct sunlight and require artificial indoor lighting. There are plants that can grow just fine in the shade and require less light than other plants. Indoor plants require artificial lighting because they need more light to thrive in comparison to the natural sunlight.

Before you buy an indoor plant or vegetable kit, make sure to check the type of grow lights used in them so that you will get the right indoor plant or vegetable kit for your indoor garden.

The light meter will be useful in monitoring how much light the indoor plants or vegetable get from the light input of the grow lights. When purchasing indoor plants or vegetable kits, make sure to check whether all the equipment used in the indoor garden has been tested and meet the standards set by the regulatory agencies.
