Are COB LED Grow Lights Better For Plants?

May. 13, 2021

One of the main reasons COB LED plants to grow lights are making their way into many grow rooms so quickly is because of their high color rendering index (often over 80) and broad-spectrum. View More+

What Does CRI Mean in Lighting?

May. 06, 2021

What product facts do you usually look for on a lighting label? Brightness and lumen output, estimated annual energy costs, the colour temperature of the lamp (warm or cool) and of course the expected life of the bulb. Now it's time to add another feature to the list: the CRI of the bulb. View More+

Can UV LED Lights Kill Bacteria?

​Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are available in a wide range of wavelengths. The original LEDs emit infrared light, followed by LEDs that emit visible wavelengths (red and green), then blue LEDs that emit white light when coupled with phosphorescent bodies. View More+

Why Do COB LEDs Matter?

Apr. 12, 2021

Chip-on-Board or "COB" refers to the mounting of exposed LED chips into direct contact with a substrate (e.g. silicon carbide or sapphire) to produce an array of LEDs. COB LEDs offer many advantages over older LED technologies, such as surface mount device ("SMD") LEDs or double in-line package ("DIP") LEDs. View More+

Things You Need to Know about SMD LEDs and COB LEDs

Apr. 06, 2021

When considering LEDs, most people would think of a group of pod diodes that would light up to form a single beam of light. However, as with other rapidly evolving technologies, LEDs have evolved to become more efficient and cost-effective. View More+
