When it comes to cannabis growing we cannot underestimate the importance of a good grow light. Not only are the grow lights going to provide the plants with the energy they need to grow, but they are also going to affect the environment and the growth cycles. Of course, as with any equipment, some are significantly better than others. LEDs are usually the most popular form of lighting due to their low energy consumption and low heat output. This means growers won’t spend too much on electricity and won’t risk overheating their plants. This is a list of some of the best growing lights on the market along with all the information a grower could need to make the right decision for them.
This is a grill light that features spectrum colours and uses LED bulbs. It has a high powered setting for vegetation to ensure that plants get the energy they need when they need it. Plants require a variety of colours when they are going through the growth cycles. By using a spectrum growers can improve the yield and the size of their plants. This particular light can be programmed to suit the time of year down to the day or week to mimic the natural light cycle of the plants. It can also provide simple uniform lighting over 6 x 8 feet during vegetation and a 3 x 4 feet bloom radius. This light is ideal for commercial or small scale growing and will fit perfectly as a single light in a small grow space.
The lamp will range from 0 – 400 W and operates at a frequency of 50 – 60 Hertz.

By utilising the light as effectively as possible it stops the grower from needing to buy additional lights in a small growing space.

The overall lens sits at 120 degrees, ensuring the entire plant has access to light, and it comes with a 24-month warranty. As far as low-cost lights go this is one of the better models available.
Gixer 1000 Watt LED Grow Light
For growers who usually go for something in the 1000 Watt range this provides more light area, a better range of colours and boasts better energy efficiency than most. Despite being a 1000 Watt light it only uses around 110 Watts. This is an excellent light for those who aren’t sure about programming the different light cycles. It simply has a switch that takes the light spectrum from vegetation to flowering to bloom. It is easy to use and runs cheaply due to its amazing ability to save energy. It is also specifically designed to reduce heat and noise, ideal for those who are growing in a cupboard or other small indoor space. Despite being easy to switch between cycles it does not have a built-in timer. This means that growers can tailor their light cycles to their plants.

This lamp is ideal for anyone who needs lighting that is going to last. One of the most robust and reliable grow lights on the market, it also uses 10 Watt chips.

This makes it an excellent light for anyone who is especially worried about maintaining a clean growing environment. It has two cooling fans and an aluminium heat sink, so it won’t increase the ambient temperature in the grow space. It is considered one of the best products for heat removal, energy efficiency and size to light area. The only small issue with this product is that it needs to be placed quite close to the plants. This can result in a shorter, squatter crop than a higher lamp.
