How to choose a phytolamp for plants: consider these factors - and you won't go wrong

The best option for providing growing plants with additional lighting is, without a doubt, a phytolamp.

Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh shared advice on choosing a quality product.

First, the specialist suggests deciding on the type of lamp: today there are LED, fluorescent and infrared devices. LED lamps are the most efficient and economical, and infrared ones are the most expensive.

Another important point is the light spectrum. The phytolamp you choose should emit light in the range of 400-700 nanometers, which corresponds to the light spectrum necessary for plant photosynthesis.

Be sure to ask the seller about the lamp power: choose a lamp with a power that corresponds to the size of your plant and the type of crop.

Please note: some phytolamps have an adjustable tilt angle, which allows you to direct the light onto the plant at the desired angle.

You should also be interested in the service life of the equipment. Useful information: LED phytolamps have a service life of up to 50,000 hours, which is significantly longer than other types of lamps.

Finally, we advise you to choose proven brands and not to chase the cheapest lamps, as they may turn out to be of poor quality.
