These compact grow lights gives targeted, high-intensity lights to their indoor plants that are proven to be ideal for herbs, vegetables and flowers.

With the usage of LED grow lights for indoor plants expansion, these indoor gardeners literally gained a lot of advantages over their led grow lights non-user counterparts, such as.

• Higher power savings because of low electricity consumption
• Longer life span than other competitions
• Custom-tailored photosynthetic scale resulting to superior development yield

• Environment friendly

You can make your own LED grow lights at a relatively cheap cost. And I can show you how by following my 6 simple steps. Before you start, have these things ready: ceiling panel, drill and bit, 2 strands of red and blue LED Christmas lights, glue gun, glue stick and a thin rope to be used for mounting.

Step 1, make 50 holes on your ceiling panel by marking 5 rows with 10 holes each row with a distance of about ¼ inch wide in-between each row. Make sure that there is a 6 inch space about the outer perimeter. Drill holes every 3 1/2 inches.

Step 2, to stick out the lights out of the surface of the panel, shove the lights through the back of the said panel. Ensure that they are tight and well secured. Never pull the lights through the hole, otherwise, you risk damaging the bulbs.

Step 3, with your glue gun and glue stick, hot glue the cord to the panel on both sides of each hole.

Step 4, get the light strands and with each strand, switch the next strand into the end of the first one and skip a hole. Then hot glue the plastic portion of the plug to the panel to hold it. Do the same process with the other lights into the holes.

Step 5, before slinging your mounting rope, drill two holes on both ends of the panel. Then slide the thin rope down through the top and up through the other hole. Make a loop and secure it. Repeat the process for the other side.

Last step, hang the ceiling panel from hooks that you have installed over your seedlings. Switch it on. That's it. You're done.

But if you don't have the time to make your own LED grow lights and decided to just buy it since you have the money for it, I suggest you check it out via online first. There are many LED grow lights for sale in the market.

You will surely be able to recoup your investment on LED grow lights in the long term. In fact, the savings you will have on your electricity bills and the low maintenance cost will more than make up for the expenditure.
