Yesterday, you were growing indoor plants using old, fluorescent bulbs. Today, you’re switching to energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly LED bulbs. And if not, why not?
First off, grow lights are a great boon to indoor gardening. Windowsills that are sunny enough to start seeds properly are few and far between. You want those seedlings to be sturdy and well-rooted, and indoor grow lights do the job. Houseplants benefit tremendously, too.
But grow lights just got exponentially better, says Gardener’s Supply Company spokesperson, Claudia Marshall. “Our product development team has engineered new LED bulbs that last up to five times longer than florescent bulbs, and that’s just for starters,” says Marshall.
These newly-designed LED bulbs also use half the energy of their fluorescent predecessors, are made from plastic so don’t shatter like glass and don’t contain poisonous mercury, either. Marshall says, “You just can’t argue with the math.”
In addition to selling all its light stands with the new LED bulbs, Gardener’s Supply is offering LED bulbs to retrofit its grow lights that previously used florescent bulbs. “It’s super easy to snap these new bulbs into place, and the environmental benefits and the cost savings over time are tremendous,” adds Marshall.
