FAQ About Indoor Plant Light Intensity Measurements

What are the best types of artificial lights for indoor plants to achieve adequate light intensity?

LED grow lights are popular due to their efficiency and spectrum control, which closely mimics natural sunlight at various intensities. Fluorescent lights, such as T5 and compact fluorescents, are also effective for moderate lighting needs. High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps provide higher intensity but generate more heat and consume more energy.
