There are 6 reasons why you need to do that.
Optimal Performance
Similar to electrical appliances, performance is optimum when purchased brand-new. The performance of grow lights will also improve with cleanliness.
Compared to other grow lights, LEDs are more effective and efficient. They will become overheated if you let them become soiled. If they become too hot, it may hinder their capacity to transform energy into light, potentially putting your plants at risk.
Maintaining High Yields
Simply put, dirty lights = blocked light = poor light = low yields
Keeping Safe
In addition to benefiting your plants, keeping your LED grow light clean and clear of debris is important for your safety. With any accumulation of dust or dirt, your light will run very hot. This increases the change of fire hazards.
Extending Lifespan
LED grow lights are incredibly effective and have a long lifespan. However, the accumulation of dirt, dust, or sticky materials can not only reduce their lifespan but also harm their ability to provide light to plants.
Reduce Your Workload
You’ll eventually have to decide whether to clean them or discard them. It is very bothersome when dirt accumulates over time because it takes longer to clear it away. Putting pressure on the diodes to clean them up raises the danger of failing damage when coupled with your ongoing lack of maintenance. But when you clean your lights regularly, it only takes a few seconds.
Eliminating Allergies
In fact, allergies rank as the sixth most prevalent chronic illness in Americans. Allergens like dust and dust are common. Cleaning your LED grow lights can prevent guests and family members in your grow room from sniffling or sneezing.
