The White Light of the Apollo Falcon LED Growing light

Nowadays there are a lot of LED grow lights for sale and there seems to be a specific lamp for every situation. We see a trend in grow lights that mainly use white LEDs to create a suitable spectrum. This has to do with various studies that have concluded that white LEDs have a very high efficiency.

By using white LEDs in a tomato culture, in combination with red and blue LEDs, they have raised the yield by 12 to 16%. Although the red and blue LEDs contributed to the result, the authors conclude that the white LEDs, which contain a lot of green light, have contributed the most to it. This is because green light greatly promotes the penetration of light.

The white light has another important advantage, namely being able to recognize diseases and abnormalities in plants on time. When using red and blue LEDs, the entire breeding room will purple colors and an early observation of abnormalities is almost impossible.

Different colors white in LED grow lights

In the meantime, we know that red and blue are the most important colors for growing plants, but did you also know that there are also many different white colors? These "colors" call light temperatures and this is expressed in Kelvin. These values ​​are of course not taken out of the air and actually have to do with temperature. When a flame has a yellow color, the temperature is relatively low and when a flame turns blue, the temperature is much higher. With LED lighting it is fortunately only to do with the color and not with the actual temperature of the LEDs.

An important rule in white light is:

The lower the number of Kelvin, the more red the lamp radiates.

An HPS lamp usually exudes light from 2200kelvin, this is very red light with relatively little blue.

The higher the number of Kelvin, the more blue the lamp radiates.

Daylight has a light temperature of approximately 6000kelvin, this is light with relatively large blue and little red.

Apollo Falcon LED breeding lamp

The Apollo Falcon LED grow lamp uses 2 white light temperatures to make a good balance between blue/red light and the green, orange and yellow light colors. The Apollo Falcon LED grow lamp uses 3000K and 6000K LEDs in combination with red LEDs (660NM) to give the flowering of your plant an extra boost.

The light temperature of 3000K is a warm white color that mainly radiates green/orange/red and mainly ensures the flowering of your plants, it also stimulates photosynthesis.

The 6000K LEDs release a cool white color and mainly ensure that enough blue/green light has been incorporated into the spectrum so that the growth is perfectly stimulated.

In front of the eye, the lamp radiates a cool white color where you can also view the plants very well.

Which Apollo Falcon suits you? 

There are 2 different types of Apollo Falcon the standard and the pro version.

The difference between these 2 lamps are the used LEDs.

The standard Apollo Falcon uses SMD2835 LEDs and the Pro version has powerful LG & Osram LEDs on board.
