It’s a beautiful thing having year round fresh food when you grow indoors. You save a lot of money growing your own food, and you can eat healthy and organically. You’ll eat food that tastes fresher than anything you’d ever get in a grocery store. Grow fresh food, even if you live in the city. When you grow indoors, you can enjoy fresh tomatoes even in the middle of winter.
Many people are afraid to grow indoors because of the risk of fire. Grow lights can get hot. The wiring can get complicated, leaving a risk for fires if you don’t know what you’re doing. There’s no reason to risk the safety of your home and family over fresh vegetables.
Safety is one of the biggest advantages to using LED grow lights. You don’t need the experience of an electrician. You simply just plug the light into any standard electrical socket. There’s no complicated mounting systems as the lights can easily be suspended. The beauty of an LED plant light is how safe it is to install. It’s safer because it’s so simple.
LED grow lights also produce virtually no heat, so you don’t need to worry about heat damage to your plants. An LED plant light also uses only a fraction of the electricity as a HPS bulb, leaving an undetectable carbon footprint. A 90-watt LED light produces as much optimal light as a 400-watt HPS light. LED technology can cover a 12-foot square growing area while using just a little more energy than a typical reading lamp.
Which means you can grow your own vegetables without astronomically growing your electric bill. You wouldn’t notice the electrical expense of a typical LED light anymore than if you left a few outside porch lights on.
They use the optimal frequency for your plants by emitting the same wavelengths that plants use for photosynthesis. This encourages optimal plant growth for healthy, vibrant plants and hearty vegetables.
LED lights also last considerably longer than HPS lights. While fluorescent lights significantly lose their power after only a season or two, LED lights produce optimal light for decades.
LED technology delivers efficiency and safety with optimal light that brings out the best in your plants. LED lights make indoor gardening safe. Peace of mind is knowing where your vegetables come from.

Moving from California to NYC for work was a big change and having the luxury of growing my own herbs and vegetables in my yard was suddenly gone. “I mean, who doesn’t want fresh mint for mojitos in the summer?” I originally purchased a herb kit on-line for $160, which came equip with lights and pots and seeds, but running the electric on the setup was costly and the dangers of having the HPS bulbs was high. Kid you not one of my children was mildly burn by the lamp. I recently purchased a LED grow lamp form www.EagleLight.com for $50 (much cheaper than the herb kit). The 12″x12″ fisture currently hangs from my kitchen ceiling and covers 12sq feet of grow space. Now I do not have to worry about my children touching the lamp or the energy bill spiking. I also purchased a few 40 watt replacement bulb from EagleLight ( I think it was called the Pharox bulb) for my kids rooms since they always forget to turn the light off. LEDs are new to me…but I think I like them…
