GENERAL QUESTIONS

Where can I find Aelius LED spec sheets?

At the bottom of every LED fixture page.

What distance should my led be from the canopy?

PAR requirements vary dramatically depending on cultivar, stage of life and other environmental factors – so everyone’s results will vary. We say – as a general rule – that you should start plants at a greater distance from the light and let the plants “grow into” the light. Using a PAR meter is the best way to understand what light levels produce the best results for your set up.

Can I dim my Aelius LED?

Yes, Aelius LEDs come with 0-10V dimmers. Aelius LED also now offers controllers that can daisy chain up to 25 lights, control dimming, on/off schedule as well as sunrise/sunset timing. These controllers are included on orders over 4 fixtures, and are an optional upgrade for smaller orders.

What Plugs-ends are available through Aelius LED?

All fixtures (except for 20W LED Tube Lights and HV models) come with NEMA 6-15P plug and a 120V adapter (NEMA 6-15R to NEMA 5-15P). The 20W Tubes come with NEMA 1-15P, and HV models can come with the 6-15P OR Pigtail ends. Pigtail ends for low voltage models are available upon request.

Are LED grow lights better than traditional grow lights?

LED grow lights offer several advantages over traditional grow lights as they consume less electricity, produce less heat and they convert more energy into usable light, making them more efficient.

What spectrum of light do plants need for optimal growth?

Can LED grow lights be used in conjunction with other types of grow lights?

Yes, this is quite common, and can be called a ‘checkerboard’ or a ‘hybrid’ light set up. The main purpose of this would be to reduce the cost of upgrading to LEDs.   An alternative solution would be to look for retrofit rebates and incentives in your area. Contact Aelius LED for assistance with these incentives.

How do I know if my plants are getting too much or too little light from LEDs?

There are signs to look out if your plants are getting too much light, you may see leaf burn, curling, or bleaching. If they’re getting too little, look for small leaves, slow development, or leggy growth. If this is happening to your grow, you’ll have to adjust the distance between your lights and plant and modify the light during to address these issues.

Are there health risks associated with using LED grow lights?

Our fixtures are generally safe, but it’s important to follow a few precautions. Direct exposure to intense light can cause eye strain, so wear sunglasses in a grow space if the lights are on, and never look directly at the lights while they are operational.

What are LED grow lights, and how do they work?

LED grow lights are specialized lighting systems designed to support plant growth by emitting light at specific wavelengths that plants need for photosynthesis. Unlike any traditional lighting, LEDs are energy-efficient and can be customized to provide the optimal spectrum of light throughout all stages of plant growth. LED grow lights contain diodes, which is what emits light when an electric current passes through them. With the combination of different wavelengths, these grow lights can mimic the natural light conditions.
