Parameter | Full-Spectrum LEDs | Red-Blue LEDs |
---|---|---|
Wavelength range | 380–780nm (full PAR+UV/IR) | 400–500nm + 620–780nm |
Sunlight mimicry | 92–95% spectral similarity | 68–72% (PAR-only) |
Color rendering index (CRI) | 80–95 | 45–60 |
Customization potential | Moderate (broadband tuning) | High (ratio adjustment) |
Full-spectrum: Consumes 1.2–1.5x more power for equivalent PPFD, but reduces replacement costs over 50,000+ hour lifespan
Red-blue: Lower wattage requirements (e.g., 300W vs. 450W for 500 μmol/m²/s), but may need periodic ratio recalibration
Full-spectrum: Balanced growth, reduced risk of photomorphogenic disorders
Red-blue: Targeted enhancement of specific traits (e.g., flower size, leaf nitrogen content)
Full-spectrum: Overexposure to UV can induce stress responses
Red-blue: Imbalanced ratios cause:
Excessive stem elongation (high red)
Stunted growth (high blue)
Lettuce, spinach: 6:1 red-blue or full-spectrum with 40% blue content
Microgreens: 7:1 red-blue to maximize glucosinolate production
Tomatoes, peppers: 9:1 red-blue during flowering, shifting to 8:1 during fruiting
Strawberries: 8:1 red-blue with 5% UV-A to enhance anthocyanins
Flowering plants: 7:1 red-blue for bud induction
Foliage plants: Full-spectrum with 30% blue to maintain variegation
Germination: 1:1 red-blue or full-spectrum at 50–100 μmol/m²/s
Vegetative: 6:1 red-blue (200–300 μmol/m²/s)
Reproductive: 9:1 red-blue (300–500 μmol/m²/s) with 12–16 hour photoperiods
