Grow
Herbs with GlacialLight Plant Growing LED lights
25 November 2009,
Taipei, Taiwan – GlacialTech Inc., a division of
GlacialTech has launched a series of grow light products. Namely the
GL-SP15 LED Grow Light, the GL-SP27 LED Grow Light and the GL-BR8W LED
Grow light series. Each uses 15W, 27W and 8W of power respectively, and
can be used to supplement plant growth in hydroponic agriculture,
Green-house lighting, Herb gardens, home gardens and any situation
where plants don’t get enough light in which to thrive. The low power
LED solution brings the perfect balance of light to supplement and
enhance the plants photosynthesis.
Why
use special LED lights for Plants?
Plants need a certain spectrum of light to enable them to do
photosynthesis and grow correctly, and while natural light provides
this, not every plant has the right dose for the right amount of time
to ensure it grows optimally. That is where GlacialLight have taken the
role of the sun and provide the red and blues required for optimal
growth in plants in their latest batch of lights, spotlights and
globes. The LED lamps combine two wavelengths which are 8 parts red:
650-670nm and one part Blue: 450-460nm, or in some models; six parts
Red and three parts Blue, depending on the requirements. While many
scientists agree that this combination keeps plants healthy, one also
has to question if there is an infra-red or ultra violet by-product or
residual danger, and because of the very distinctive range of light
that LED’s are able to emit, there are no instances of either IR or UV
and as such it is extremely safe and environmentally friendly for all
types of plant growing conditions.
GL-BR8W
The BR8W has two LED models, GL-BR8W8R1B GL-BR8W6R3B, both of which
have an excellent lifespan of in excess of 20,000hrs. The bulbs fit in
standard E26/E27 light sockets and work between 100V-240V AC. The bulbs
can be used for spotlighting, accent lighting and local lighting in
greenhouses, horticultural concerns and hydroponic systems. The product
has a 1 year warranty. Care should be taken in very moist conditions.

GL-SP15
The SP15 spotlight uses 15W of power and has a lifespan in excess of
20,000hrs. There is only one model (GL-SP15 8R1B) in this series with
an 8:1 red/blue light ratio. The device input voltage is 100-240V AC
and has a beam angle of 30 degrees. The warranty is 1 year on this
product. The SP15W is IP65 dust and water proof certified, although
care should be taken in extremely humid environments.

The SP27 spotlight (model: GL-SP27 8R1B) is the brightest LED Grow
spotlight in the GlacialLight series, using an 8:1 Red/blue ratio.
There are in total 27 high brightness LED’s used in the spotlight, and
each is energy efficient. The entire unit is IP66 dust proof and water
proof certified however care should be taken when used in extremely
humid conditions. The 30 degree beam angel and typical power
consumption of 20W ensures your plants have enough light to enable them
to grow optimally while giving you power savings you come to expect
from LED lights. The product has a 1 year warranty.
