or the plants against harmful bacteria want to protect the plants light 300W LED Grow by Roleadro is a possible alternative. Explicitly, the manufacturer recommends the plants light for indoor plants and greenhouses. With a price difference of almost 100 euro compared to the simpler E27 plant lights, the cassette-shaped lamp from Roleadro is an investment that will be considered. Whether can pay off the additional costs, or a simpler plant lamp as well as meet the needs of your plants, you will learn in this test. I have tested the plants light over the period of one month through its paces. After this plant lamp test, you can weigh the pros and cons of Roleadro 300W LED Grow and to decide whether the right one for your needs is you.

Equipment of plants light
the plants light (lamp cartridge lamp) has the dimensions: 30.8 x 20.8 x 6 cm and weighs about 2.5 kg. The plants light is pink and has a power consumption of 145 Watts per hour and not of 300 Watts, as one would expect with the name. The "300" explained that 100 3-watt LEDs were used in the luminaire as a whole. The output power is only 135-140 Watts. The demand for electricity is proud 230 volts and the luminous intensity reached approximately 1300 lumens, at a frequency of 50/60 Hz and is a 9-band Lichtspektrum.Die plants light with an aluminum panel and two rear (installed above, in hanging position) fans fitted so that the LEDs remain cool. The connection for the mains plug is located under the fan grids.
Why 100 3 watt LEDs are not 300 Watt here?
If I say now, that this has to do with the colors, I'm quite serious. In the Roleadro 300W LED Grow plug Red LEDs to 75%, the rest, up to a few white, is composed of blue LEDs. The voltage of the LEDs is lower than the white and comes paired with a chip which Cree is also lower voltage, which plants lamp maximum plant lamp cartridge is screwed 145 Watt.Die and can be open to, in the event that an LED is on their minds, individual LEDs can be replaced. Here is still recycling - very laudable! According to Roleadro, the LEDs keep however proud 50,000 hours before it would be here on a test. As long as I have not tested but the plants light and must rely here on the manufacturer's instructions. Except for the ceiling attachment with drill and dowel everything is provided and for a price of currently less than 120 euros (August 2016) is the Roleadro 300W LED Grow in direct comparison to the simpler LED and plant energy saving lamps in the upper segment, but f very cheap ÜR the strong 145 Watts of power.
Optics and processing of plants light
the 100 LEDs are housed in a sturdy, white metal housing. The fans make a high-quality impression. The fact that the manufacturer has thought that it is enough to replace LEDs if one is defective and you must discard the whole lamp didn't like at most other vendors makes sympathetic Roleadro. The lamp comes only in white, but neither her pink (!) Light yet their body color are really decisive factor for the purchase, because these lamps do not for us humans are intended. The fans behind the white bars are bright red.
Distance and duration of light and function
the manufacturer recommends to hang the lamp at a distance of about 0.5 2 m to the plant. The range of light is then up to four meters. For the operation, Roleadro recommends the use of 12-18 hours per day. 12-14 should be allowed in the rearing and 14-18 at the heyday. The Red LEDs with infrared light, which here have the optimal proportion of two-thirds, are vital for the flowering phase and the strength of the plant. The blue LEDs provide an optimum growth phase and the white with UV feature fight bacteria that could infect the plants.
Uses
the Roleadro plant lamp is recommended for the following areas:
- Indoor garden with Max 3 x 3 meters in size
- any potted plant
- seed
- breeding of ornamental plants
- greenhouse
especially the suitability for the rearing and care of crops such as lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers and other vegetables is emphasized by the manufacturer.
The practice test
as advertises the manufacturer especially with use in crops such as vegetables, I have a bed room with one half of radish and a half rocket decided. To do this I made with my Yucca Palm under the light. I decided to the operating time of 14 hours recommended by the manufacturer. So that I can keep this time also, I have a timer (not included and available via State August 2016 as a digital version for about 20 euros at Amazon) used. The test lasted one Monat.Was striking first, is, according to the simple suspension, the sound, making the two fans. It is a quiet buzz in a volume that disturbs something quickly in a completely quiet apartment. The volume lies somewhere between a whisper quiet and gentle background music.
The plants light and the Yucca Palm
my Yucca is not more beautiful looks. Yellow leaves, small fruit flies and a sad picture, wanted to encourage me even to give her the mercy shot. I have not very promised frankly much of the month cure with the Roleadro plant lamp. I was all the more surprised, as had been out a few days to the lamp. Believed dead live longer. After two weeks, the light fly infestation was almost no longer exists. The yellow leaves were still dead after four weeks and yellow, but including new were also still very tender and easy to see yellow, shoots and the fruit fly episode stood out also. It looks as if my old Yucca Palm once again get the curve.
The growing box with rocket (Arugula) and radish
Fresh Earth, a handful of Rukola-and radish seeds and off go. Already after a few days it looked green from the Earth and at the end of the plant lamp test I could reap even cultivated radish. The rocket was ready to be harvested after three weeks and brought a week after testing me still a crop (if you later cut him not to completely, he recovered once again). Both were delicious by the way.
Conclusion
If you are more or less the gardener Antichrist and your plants languish before your very eyes, you should access to the bulb of this plant. It helps fight plant diseases, and lets you enjoy vegetables quickly. If you listen to quiet music or are not at home, the fan no longer bothers. Because a maximum usage period of 18 hours a day is recommended, you should consider the purchase of a timer. The lamp has nearly 130 euros although no cheaper fun, but if you hang your plants, or have gardeners ambitions, the Roleandr is o 300W LED Grow a low-cost alternative to the similar plant lamp cassettes that are currently offered.
