  Built In Timer

  The light comes with a built-in timer that allows it to be turned on for 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, or indefinitely.

  

  Custom light settings

  The lamp itself comes with 3 replaceable LED grow lights - with 5 light intensity levels for each setting. The lights can be controlled so that you have one, two, or all three lights on at once.

  

  Adaptable to fit your space

  The HydroGlow LED light can be attached to tables with its easy to use clip. Its flexible neck allows for a versatile range of layouts for all your soil and hydroponic plants.

• How It Works

  Light from the sun comes in a wide range of wavelengths. Most of the light from the sun is wasted on plants as they just need a few specific wavelengths of light to grow. These useful wavlengths typically fall in the blue and red section of the visible light spectrum (between 400-500nm and 600-700nm). Our grow lights replicate this by using Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that emit those useful wavelengths. The wavelengths emitted by this grow light can be seen in the picture. When all of these lights mix - they appear as white light to the human eye. For more details on how the LED Grow lights work - see our FAQ articles on what is the best way to measure the effectiveness of a grow light? and How are grow lights different to normal lights?

• Setting up your grow light

  Setting up your grow light is a breeze! It comes fully assembled, so all you need to do is clip it onto a table, shelf or other surface, and arrange the lights over your plants.

  Positioning your grow light

  Ensure the light stays at least 10cm from any leaves (so as to not burn the leaves).
  • Adjust the timer to suit your plant's needs
  • 12hrs for plants in spaces with low light levels
  • 6hrs for spaces which receive indirect natural light
  • 3hrs for plants in high natural light environments).
  • Also consider the natural environment of the plant you are growing - indoor plants may not need much supplementary light, whereas something like basil will need a lot.
  • Adjust light brightness; we suggest starting on a dim setting and building up to the brightest setting, this will allow your plants time to adjust. If you see your leaves "burning" or browning, reduce the light intensity.
  Check out the video below for our walk through on how to setup your growlight! We know the light's purple - but the setup is still the same!

• Frequently asked questions

  How do I replace the bulb?

  The HydroGlow bulbs are screw bulbs, to replace them you can simply unscrew, and re-screw the new one in! You can get replacement bulbs on our website if you ever have an issue - of course faults are covered within the first year of use.

  Are these lights suitable for soil plants too?

  Yes! Our lights simply imitate the wavelength of light that plants need to grow. That means you can use this for your hydroponics, aquaponics, or soil grown gardening project!

  Can I use Australian Power outlets?

  Yes! All of our grow lights have Australian style plugs and are RCM certified.

  Does the light product UV light?

  Our grow lights use LED bulbs that emit a very small amount of UV light. Don’t panic though, the UV output is even less than most household bulbs and it definitely isn’t enough to harm your plants in any way.

  How are grow lights different to normal lights?

  The short answer is that grow lights are optimised to emit the wavelengths of light that plants need to grow. For the full answer our FAQ article on the difference between normal light and grow lights may be useful!

  What's the best way to measure the effectiveness of a grow light?

  Grow lights are different to normal household light bulbs as they emit the wavelength of light that plants need to grow - measured on the PAR scale (mroe detail below). By comparison most household lights are optimised for the visible light spectrum. To understand grow light measurement you first need to know the difference between the main measurements:
  • Lumens - Spectrum of light that fits in the wavelength that the human eye can see.
  • Watts - purely a measure of energy consumption.
  • Kelvin - measure of "temperature" of light for example blueish or reddish light
  • PAR - Photosynthetic active radiation, the wavelength of light that plants need to grow.
  • PPFD - Photon Photosynthetic flux density, or the intensity of light produced in the spectrum required for plant growth.

  What's the main differece between the full spectrum and purple grow lights?

  These grow lights have a range of features so this is quite a long answer, for more details please see our FAQ article on the difference between our full spectrum and purple LED grow lights.
