FAQ About Indoor Plant Lighting Fixture Comparison

Why are high-intensity discharge lights not recommended for small indoor gardens?
High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lights, such as metal halide and high-pressure sodium lights, are powerful and produce strong light output ideal for large spaces and commercial settings. However, they generate significant amounts of heat, requiring proper ventilation and potentially leading to heat stress in small indoor gardens. They are also less energy-efficient compared to LEDs, making them potentially costly and unwieldy for small-scale indoor use.
