some hot plants friend

After this plant lamp test, you should know enough pros and cons of the grow lamp to decide for or against the purchase of the plant lamp by XJLED.
Packaging and delivery
the plants light came after only four days for me. The XJLED was in a bare Brown soda carton, where a colourful packaging was included. Embedded lamp in a foam was protected.
Are in the box next to the XJLED E27 36W plant lamp:
- The warranty card
- instructions in English
- a cap
An instruction manual in German would be nice, but since no additional accessories like a power cord with plug or a lamp socket while was, it is also not important. The warranty period is 2 years.
The manufacturer
behind the name of this product is the Chinese manufacturer of Xinjia lighting, Shenzhen Xinjiaguangdian co. Ltd., which has adjusted the needs to the light spectrum of plants. In its offer are a wide variety of plants bulbs, but also regular LED bulbs for domestic use.
Equipment of plants light
the plants light the massive 12.2 x 12.5 cm and weighs about 500 grams. The plants light carries 15 LED lamps, which are 10 red and 5 blue. The energy-saving LEDs need 85-265 volts and consume 30 watts per hour. The base thread is an E27 - as the name already betraying lamp. Hang on the LEDs of 20,000 hours according to the manufacturer, which is below the performance of the most comparable LEDs, but still a proud performance. The LEDs are firmly installed, which you can replace any individual LEDs. The Xinjia recommends to set up the plant lamp at a distance of about 40-60 cm. With a price of less than 25 euros (August 2016) for plant light is XJLED E27 36W in the lower middle of the devices currently on the market. There is still the following technical information about its plant lamp manufacturers:
- wavelength of blue light: 445 nm
- wavelength red light: 660 nm
optics and processing the plants light
the large lamp head has a white plastic / aluminium body and a grooved aluminum heat sink and is very hard with his half kilo weight. The processing is clean, if not quite as high on the transition of the grate to the body, the grooves are quite sharp.
Applications
the E27-36W plants light by XJLED is designed for the following areas:
- Indoor garden
- any kind of pot plants
- growing
- greenhouses
functioning
violet pink light emitted by the energy saving lamp is a mixture of red and blue light. Red light is more appropriate than normal sunlight for photosynthesis of plants. The blue light helps the plants in the production of chlorophyll and carotenoid that is necessary for the healthy development of the leaves.
Commissioning of the plants light
as a version, nor any other accessory with this, one must be first a Get lamps with an E27 socket. Each desk is suitable. In hardware stores, you can get yourself but also a simple version with cable or a low-hanging ceiling lamp and attach it. Plant light itself is simply screwed into the socket and you're done.
The practice test
who even tried to grow chilies, will know that that is not so easy. I dared the text with the XJLED plant lamp for a month. At the same time came my bride Myrtle in the enjoyment of additional light. The manufacturer recommends an irradiation of 12 hours a day and because I have abided. I increased the distance at my bride Myrtle to 80 cm, since the lamp very heated after some hours of operation and I did not want that the Myrtle takes damage. Actually, the built-in passive heatsink should prevent too much heat can develop, but that seems not to work. Heating LEDs is more the exception, but unfortunately - even to a small degree - the case. The light cone is not particularly large, you should buy more than a plant lamp at several plants or a larger seed box.
The bride Myrtle and the XJLED plant lamp
My bride Myrtle was two years in a kind of stasis, in which she neither grew, wore no flowers and developed also no new shoots - despite fertilizer. She did not though, but it's already. After two weeks with the XJLED plant lamp, the bride Myrtle had actually moves and aligned with the new light source. Another two weeks later, at the end of the test, a small new drive to see was actually and the green of Myrtle was deep. Amazing!
The growing box with Chili
Fresh Earth, a handful of chili seeds (Avenir-Habaneros) from the nursery and a growing potty enough and you go here go. I've chosen a distance of one meter. With the plant lamp fared slightly faster than without, until the first germs showed. After four weeks, the plants looked already very promising. Until the harvest, it took yet another week after conclusion of the test. The result was very tasty!
conclusion
with the XJLED-E27-36W plant bulb you get a simple and very cheap plant lamp that fulfills its purpose. She may be not the highest quality and you should take care with the distance to sensitive plants, but otherwise I this plant lamp of in good conscience recommend. The chilies and the bride Myrtle have responded positively to the portion of extra light, and this special treat for the Green darlings hardly on the electricity bill is noticeable by the economical LEDs. The intense pink-violet light is very dominant, but the cone of light is small enough to disturb the living atmosphere not too much in a corner. After a thorough examination in the plant lamps-test-2016, I can recommend the device by XJLED in small areas at sufficient distance.
