For ideal plant growth, nothing beats natural sunlight. Grow lights fall short of the sun's perfection, but they compensate for short days and low light indoors. Light-emitting diode (LED) lights take grow light technology into new dimensions. Instead of trying to replicate the sun, they target the quality of light plants need most. The wide-reaching results affect everything from space travel and greenhouse growing to home gardeners starting early seeds.

Thanks to their energy efficiency and long useful life span, light-emitting diodes are an attractive option for use in indoor plant-growing contexts as compared with less efficient lighting technologies. LED grow light technology is in its infancy, however, and some of the potential advantages of LEDs for plant propagation have yet to be fully realized.

Even if you live in a temperate region, grow lights help you stimulate indoor plant growth by allowing more photosynthesis. During the winter season, grow lights offer you increased control over your plants' light exposure. These lights, especially those powered by light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, cater to grow trays and hydroponic systems as well as greenhouse environments. While LEDs don't use the same amount of energy as other grow lights, they do offer some benefits, especially in terms of efficiency.
