LEC Lighting

Benefits of LEC Lighting compared to other technologies (LED, HPS)

Both LEC and LED equipment offer excellent results in marijuana cultivation, so the choice between these lighting systems is currently conditioned by the investment one wants to make and by the environmental conditions of cultivation, since when it comes to production, consumption, and the quality that can be obtained, one does not have an advantage over the other.

The use and installation of LEC lamps or LEC equipment is practically the same as that of traditional sodium equipment, so they are perfect for beginners or for those who want to change the type of lighting without complications. However, compared to these, LEC lighting offers better light quality, a broader and more usable PAR range by the plant, generates less heat, and produces a higher percentage of g/w. The price of LEC lamps is usually quite affordable, and they allow us to maintain ideal temperatures without the need for heat equipment during the winter. If you want to cultivate with them in the summer, the use of air conditioning is necessary.

The use and installation of LED lights or LED equipment is a bit more complicated since depending on the system purchased and its functionality, it may take a couple of crops to fully exploit the benefits it offers. This is because most install a program for managing the light spectrum through an APP or a button system to modify it according to the plant's state, although there are also fixed characteristic ones without any possibility of modification. In this sense, LED equipment and LEC equipment offer similar features, however, with LED equipment, we can cultivate during the hotter months, but we will need support for the colder months.

Importance of proper Lighting in indoor cultivation

One of the discovered factors was that plants developed more vigorously if they were grown under light rich in blue and red tones, as they have a greater facility to absorb these colors. This type of LEC lamp was born with the idea of bringing these new knowledge about plant nutrition to classic bulbs, offering an intermediate product, with a price lower than that of LED equipment, but with a production per watt much higher than HPS equipment.

Advantages of using LEC in cannabis cultivation

Using LEC lights has multiple advantages when it comes to growing marijuana. Among other benefits, the following stand out:

• Greater energy efficiency.
• Light production closer to the solar spectrum.
• Improvement in the quality and quantity of the harvest.
• Less heat generation.

What to consider before buying an LEC System

If you are thinking of purchasing an LEC system, you should consider the following characteristics:

• Choose the appropriate power for your cultivation space (315W, 630W, etc.).
• Check compatibility with other cultivation equipment.
• Greater durability and long-term cost.
• Recommended brands and characteristics to evaluate.
