Just bought an LED grow light for my indoor plants.I am very like the grow light and my plants also. But I did not know about the LED grow light ago until my friend introduce it to me that LED grow light's functions is very important for plants.
The light contains a combination of Red and Blue LEDs, The combination gives and output light pink color.
That's light is very bright and it said that is each light of 3 watts. Is this normal that the grow light with a combination of red and Blue LED is not that bright as compared to a normal LED grow light? who can explain the case?

Red and blue combination works fairly well. I use a light made of three watt leds from 2011 or so. Its far outdated by now. If you haven't purchased it already, I would suggest moving to a better quality spectrum because the science behind the red and blue myth was based on observation initially. Plants are green, why feed them green if they'll just spit it back? But plants and the beneficial bacteria actually use some green. Look into diy quantum boards or DIY cob LED for the best spectrum and dollar effectiveness in today's standards.

Also, I don't understand your question that is comparing this light pictured to a normal led grow light. You should be more specific please

Just a heads up. If you're gonna grow MJ, don't judge all LEDs based on this ones performance.
I do like the reflectors though. Would be nice w/ 5w efficient diodes n driver.

Thank you for you telling me these, Do you know which type of THE LED grow light is best for plants grow. Cos I have a covers an area of 60 square meters of land, I planted some tomatos , But the weather is so terrible in the place.So I design a greenhouse for my tomatos, But there are not enough sun. So d like to buy some plant light to fill the gaps in the lack of sunlight.:razz::razz:

Lol, firstly , I did not judge all LEDs based on this noes performance, I just want to know how I can choose a better quality LED for my plants.
Er, I have another question that do you know COB?

Sure Cob's my boy! We gets blazed all the time! Jk.
If you're looking for supplemental greenhouse lighting, I'd check out the Fluence Bio VyperX Plus. One ofvthevbetter ones. It's designed to be greenhouse lighting & won't block much sun.

It's enhanced white, not Burple & high quality.
Cobs are good to in thin rails but are just more white added to the sun. If not enhanced w/ some red n blue then I'd go w/ the Vypers.
There's other decent ones that hit the mkt recently but I doubt they trump the Vypers.

Vipars work well ... I still own one even though i went to COB/Quantum Boards .

It has produced some decent smoke for what it is. It IS BETTER than mars for sure.
And has done better than an overpriced KIND LED that i tried for a couple weeks.

I am actually growing some strains that i will transfer to COB light in a couple weeks.

It's a wonderful thing. Enjoy. BTW, was just doing my Mr.T voice. Not calling you a fool.
Trying to point this gut towards quality.
Good luck w/ your cob/QB grow. Have you used them yet? Might be nice to mix em up w/ your burples. Just keep em tight so they blend & no one section is growing off the burples alone.

I keep the vipar for giggles ... Mostly for plant starts , clones and such. Which it seems well suited.
