Apollo Horticulture LED Grow Light Review
The Brand
Apollo Horticulture has been a significant player business for many years, here is our Apollo Horticulture LED Grow Light Review. They currently offer a variety of sizes of HID and LED plant lights. They also have a selection of grow tents in various sizes, and several horticulture accessories.
Apollo entered the grow business with their HID lighting but quickly added LED lighting when it was introduced. They are now a major player in the LED grow light business offering twelve different lights in three different styles. Their UFO or Puck lights have been around for several years and come in 75, 135, and 180 watt versions using 3 watt led chips. The brand of their COB (Chip on Board) lights product line is “Purple Sun”. They use LED chips in reflective cones to maximize the light delivered from each chip. Lastly, these are both tested and proven light models with good spectrum alignment.
Products
Firstly, the new development with Apollo is that they have fairly recently started using the newer 5 watt LED chips in two of their current line of LED panel lights. They still offer the 3 watt chips in their 240 watt, 288 watt, 300 watt panel LED lights. The new version panel lights using 5 watt LED chips also comes in their 400 watt and 700 watt models. These new 5 watt LED Grow lights are a great value. They also deliver the broad spectrum plus IR lighting needed for both the vegetative and flowering growth phases.
In reviewing the Apollo LED plant lights there were two LED Grow lights that particularly caught our attention:
Apollo GL60 180 watt LED Grow Light: This compact UFO style grow light offers great LED lighting for small space of 4-5 Square Feet at a super price of just over $100 and has appeared high on many top LED Grow Light Reviews
Apollo GL80X5LED grow light is their smallest panel light using the 5 wall LED chip at 400 watts. This configuration delivers enough light intensity, measured in lumens, to cover a 3’ x 3’ vegetative grow area and a 2.5’ x 2.5’ flowering grow area, all for about $200 through Amazon.
All Apollo LED grow lights come with an estimated life of 50,000 hours of use and a two year manufacturers guarantee.
