These lamps are cold and emit less heat than other types of luminaries, which means grows won\u2019t need an additional refrigeration system in order to keep the grow room at the right temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature makes them an <strong>excellent option <\/strong>for indoor grows performed <strong>during the summer months<\/strong> or in naturally hot areas all year round. However, if during winter months, the geographical zone is cold, heaters or radiators might be necessary to achieve the perfect temperature for plants\u2019 development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the heat reduction, <strong>plants need less fertilizers added to the water solution<\/strong>, as the soil from the pots stays humid for a longer period of time. The risk of suffering nutritional deficiencies is also lower because there will be a lower accumulation of nutrients. On the other hand, <strong>the lack of heat means that the lamps can be placed nearer to the plants\u2019 tips,<\/strong> which clearly increases the yield and improves its quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"150W_Pro_LED_usage_mode\"><\/span><strong>150W Pro LED: usage mode<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, this 150W Pro LED Panel is perfect for small grow tents or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/how-to-build-a-grow-room\/\">grow rooms<\/a>. Its <strong>high performance technology <\/strong>is capable of producing large indoor yields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a <strong>color temperature of 3000K<\/strong> and a full spectrum aspect, this grow light is suitable for both growth and flowering phases, promoting proper plants\u2019 photosynthesis. Its <strong>average rated life is of approximately 60.000 hours<\/strong> and it has a beam angle of 120\u00ba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to know exactly how a LED Panel works, it\u2019s important to stand out <strong> that you need 4 of these 150W Pro LED panels<\/strong> to cover for a 100 x 100 cm area, which are equivalent to a 600W HPS bulb. Perfect for growers that want to professionalize their indoor grows. It features an<strong> attractive design and efficient functioning<\/strong>. Same as its 250W counterpart, it includes different connections to add more panels in case it\u2019s necessary to cover larger areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For best results, it\u2019s important to know at what distance the panels should be from the tips of the plants. <strong>During growth, they should be placed at 30-40 cm, but for flowering, such distance should be reduced by 10 cm.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the lighting required for feminized strains, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/gb-strains\/5764-apple-fritter.html\">Apple Fritter<\/a>, they need <strong>18 hours of light and 6 of darkness <\/strong>during growth and 12\/12 h once flowering starts. The dark hours must be consecutive and not interrupted in order to prevent hermaphroditism or a return to the growth phase.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ppgbo product=&#8221;5693&#8243; language=&#8221;en&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"250W_Pro_LED_usage_mode\"><\/span><strong>250W Pro LED: usage mode<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The<strong> 250W Pro LED panel <\/strong>is GB Lighting\u2019s most powerful version. It guarantees the best indoor results thanks to its properties. Furthermore, this model has 560 <strong>Samsung diodes <\/strong>and includes the OSRAM Duris S5 purple diodes; which serve as a Chlorophyll A + B booster. The amperage goes up to 1.08 and input power reaches 280 W. <strong>To cover a 1 x 1 surface, you&#8217;ll need two of these luminaires.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, this lamp is full spectrum and includes a high quality water resistant driver that protects against electrical shock. This Spanish product features a great suspension system, an ultra thin aluminium heat dissipator and 2 meters of  cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The distance at which this panel needs to be placed is similar to its \u201cyounger brother\u201d; 30-40 cm from the tips during the growth phase and 20-30 cm during the flowering period. However, it\u2019s important to note that apart from the money saving; LED grow lights are also more <strong>discrete,<\/strong> as these types of luminaires <strong>produce less noise<\/strong> than HPS systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the panel, whether it&#8217;s the 150W or the 250W model; <strong>autoflowering strains<\/strong> need between <strong>18-22 hours of light<\/strong> throughout their entire life cycle; as they swap to the flowering period automatically.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-903af5a1-7fff-ee3b-6ac4-6a411348215f\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\">[ppgbo product=&#8221;7144&#8243; language=&#8221;en&#8221;]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"150W_and_250W_Pro_LED_panels_main_differences\"><\/span><strong>150W and 250W Pro LED panels: main differences<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following chart <strong>lists the technical differences between the 150W and the 250W LED Pro panel<\/strong>.
