How to Choose LED Grow Lights for Leafy Greens
Leafy greens need consistent light, balanced spectrum and stable environment. The right LED fixture improves uniformity, color and production planning.
Quick Answer
Choose efficient full spectrum lights with excellent uniformity.
Lettuce, basil, herbs and other leafy crops often grow well under moderate to strong full spectrum LED light. The best fixture depends on rack height, crop density, desired DLI and production cycle length.
Uniformity is especially important because uneven light creates uneven harvest size.
Key lighting targets
| Factor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| PPFD | Controls light intensity at canopy level. |
| DLI | Connects light intensity with daily operating hours. |
| Spectrum | Influences growth, color, shape and crop quality. |
| Fixture spacing | Determines tray-to-tray consistency. |
