KIND LED vs. Viparspectra LED for Indoor Growing

Today, we compare two LED grow light companies:  KIND and Viparspectra.  Ever since soil-less agriculture has emerged, crops grown indoors, be it via hydroponics or aeroponics, have been showing great improvements physically and health-wise. Among available grow kits on the market, various companies have continued to innovate one of the most important factors in indoor growing – creating a reliable LED light.

A variety of bulb types can be used as grow lights, amid them are fluorescent lights, high-intensity discharge lamps (HID), incandescent, and light-emitting diodes (LED).

LED grow lights produce wavelengths that have the ability to provide a full spectrum creating a key component to plant growth.  Given the delivery and cost factor, LED grow lights have a key role in the indoor growing market. Most plants should be exposed to sufficient amount of light, 12 to 16 hours of light and at least 8 hours of darkness on a daily basis.

There are numerous brands of LED grow lights on the market right now, but not all of them possess the qualities of a good grow light. Companies can differ based on the quality of material used, how in-depth their research is and of course giving time to build a reputation based on grower experience.

Based on our research, we decided to compare two popular LED grow light manufacturers on the market – KIND LED and Viparspectra.

  1. But where’s the review ? We all know these lights are good and cost different. Are ViparSpectra as good as Kind LED’s ? I was wondering. Or what we all know Kind is better but if your poor Vapar will do ? What’s the yield difference ? Will one grow your plants faster ? Energy comparison or maybe footprint comparison. No footprints were listed for Vapar’s. I hope this was your first review. Sorry but this wasn’t informative. I really wish it was.
