The Different Types of LED Grow Lights
Growing the hemp or cannabis anywhere using LED grow lights can be an interesting activity. Very few people actually know that these grow lights are available in a number of different types. However, a few of these varieties are very frequently used for growing these plants. Knowing these LED varieties is important and can help you make a better decision while investing in any set of grow lights.
Here are some of the most common types of best LED grow lights. We are not in the position to rank any of these varieties as the best or the worst type. The extent to which they can suit you is a relative idea and can be decided by what you expect your grow lights to do and how you use them.

When it comes to efficiency and light ‘output'/intensity, these LED diodes are currently the best you can get.
More generally:
White light blows any ‘blurple' light completely out of the water when it comes to efficiency and light intensity. ‘Blurple' LED grow lights are predominantly blue and red spectrum lights. 90% of budget LED grow lights are ‘blurple' lights.
White light covers the full spectrum of ‘photosynthetically active radiation‘ (PAR) much better than blurple lights. This includes green and yellow wavelengths. While the exact role of these wavelengths in a plant's photosynthesis process remains unclear, it's thought they do have a role.
White light more closely resembles the sun than blurple light. The more closely your light will imitate the wavelengths of light that come from the sun, the higher quality your yield will be.

Because of the way the ECO Farm ECOR 240W evenly spreads light across its coverage area, we think this is one of the best LED grow lights on the market. Coverage is a huge factor in deciding whether the light is right for you.
The ECO Farm ECOR 240W can accommodate many plants during a single growing season. Not only that the yields are truly healthy and the light is spread evenly across the grow room floor.
Pros:
Larger coverage area – Veg footprint is 4 x 4ft, Flowering footprint is 3x 3 ft.
Beautiful Sun-like spectrum – Blue, White, Red, and IR and UV
Solid Design – No fans and modular which means it will last a long time – 100,000 hours.
Deep light penetration – Using the most efficient chips to date with an even spread will ensure better yields.
Dimmable features – Very bright light which is typically a good thing. You can dial down the intensity with this LED.
Cons:
A bit pricey
What's the right distance to keep your LED lights from your plants?
It’s crucial that you put your lights as close as possible to your plants, without causing light burn, because this will directly affect the potency of your buds.
But it's just as important not to put your lights too close to your plants.
But what’s ‘too close’?
This is highly dependent on the light's brand and model.
The more powerful the light, the higher the minimum distance between your light and your canopy is.
LED manufacturers always provide minimum distances with their products, and you should use these.
Ultimately, you're going to keep a close eye on your plants and act accordingly:
Raise them in a few inch increments when they show signs of stress/light burn.
Lower them when you feel your plants need more intensity.
