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.
