Question 1

Can the Cosmorrow Infrared LED Bar 20W 50cm be integrated into a cultivation system with differentiated management between growth and flowering without the risk of disturbing the light cycle?

Accepted Answer

The Cosmorrow Infrared LED Bar 20W - 50cm is perfectly suited for use dedicated to the flowering phase due to its spectrum of 2100K and 730nm, optimized to stimulate this key stage of cultivation. Integrated into a system with differentiated management between growth and flowering, it will not disturb the light cycle as long as it is activated only during flowering.Its low heat output prevents any thermal stress, ensuring a healthy environment. Easy to install and adaptable, it simply requires adequate power supply to operate efficiently.

Question 2

What is the precise wavelength of infrared on this LED bar, and how does it influence the flowering phase in hydroponics?

Accepted Answer

The Cosmorrow Infrared LED Bar 20W - 50cm emits a precise infrared light at 730 nm, in the near infrared range. This wavelength directly affects the plant's phytochrome, a protein that regulates the transition between the vegetative growth and flowering. In hydroponics, the targeted use of this light at 730 nm promotes the flowering phase by inducing the conversion of phytochrome to its inactive form, which stimulates a rapid entry into the reproductive phase. This mechanism optimizes the timing of light cycles and can enhance yield while minimizing thermal stress due to limited heat emission. It is important not to use this infrared light continuously, as an excess can cause tissue overheating and harm the plant. In summary, this infrared wavelength is a valuable asset for controlling and optimizing flowering in hydroponic cultivation.

Question 3

Can the infrared intensity of the LED bar be adjusted to optimize photosynthesis without excessively heating the crop?

Accepted Answer

The Cosmorrow 20W Infrared LED Bar - 50cm does not allow for specific adjustment of infrared intensity. It is designed to emit a fixed spectrum of 2100K and 730nm, optimized for the flowering phase, with a low heat output to avoid any thermal stress on your plants. This low heat ensures a healthy environment, but since the infrared intensity is not adjustable, it is not possible to customize the optimization of photosynthesis via this bar. For more precise control, lighting solutions offering dimmers or modulable spectrums should be considered.

Question 4

Does the 20w infrared LED bar of 50cm effectively promote growth in addition to a main lamp without hindering thermal management in a well-ventilated box?

Accepted Answer

The Cosmorrow 20W Infrared LED Bar – 50cm is perfectly designed to complement a main lamp by stimulating flowering and promoting better plant structure, particularly due to its near-infrared (730 nm) and warm white spectrum (2100 K). With a moderate consumption of 20W, it generates little heat, making it a safe addition in a well-ventilated box: it does not disrupt thermal management when ventilation is effective. For optimal use, it is recommended to plug it into a different circuit with an independent timer to precisely control its lighting duration and avoid any excess heat. In summary, this infrared LED bar promotes plant regeneration and growth safely, without harming the thermal balance of your growing space.
