Samsung LED Grow Lights

Let us help you find the Samsung LEG grow light for your indoor plants. We picked the best ones based on performance and price.

Samsung is a pioneer in LED technology. They are also one of the leaders in the horticultural lighting industry.

The company’s mission is to create superior products. So, it’s not surprising that Samsung LEDs can emit the best LED grow light for plants.

But there’s only one issue with Samsung: They don’t manufacture their own grow light devices.

Samsung sells its LED chips to other brands. In turn, they use the diodes to manufacture complete LED grow light systems.

But we can still call those devices “Samsung LED grow lights.”

If you are looking for the best Samsung LED grow lights, you’ve come to the right place.

We compiled a list of the five best Samsung LED grow lights out there to start growing your indoor plants.

This is the newest generation of HLG Quantum Boards. It is mainly composed of Samsung LM301H LED diodes.

These diodes are very efficient. The PPF efficacy of HLG Quantum Boards is around 2.5 µmol/J, which is exceptionally high.

There is a wide variety of HLG Quantum Boards. And they all have different light spectrums and intensities.

Also, some HLG QBs contain a few diodes manufactured by LED light brands other than Samsung.

For example, the powerful HLG 600 V2 RSpec QB has around 64 Deep Red Osram LEDs. But Samsung makes the majority of its LEDs (around 95%).

Although HLG Quantum Boards are very powerful, they usually come in DIY kits.

If you purchase an HLG LED Light, be prepared to assemble the grow lamp yourself. But don’t you worry. It’s pretty easy to assemble Quantum Boards.

There are instructions on how to do it on the internet. You can also find dozens of video tutorials showing how to assemble the HLG Quantum Boards.

The effort you put into assembling a Quantum Board is worth it. These lights are superior to most other grow lights in terms of spectrum, intensity, and efficiency.

But, if you don’t like DIY grow lights to enhance plant growth, keep reading below.

Spider Farmer grow light is a simple flat-shaped lighting board. It is also one of the best LED grow lights in the market.

They’re immensely powerful and highly optimized for plant growth.

Spider Farmer makes its grow lights out of Samsung LM301B diodes. Samsung LM301B diodes are the older version of LM301H diodes—but they’re almost identical.

So, Spider Farmer LEDs and HLG Quantum Boards have many features in common.

The PPF efficacy rate of Spider Farmer grow lights is around 2.45 µmol/J, approximately equal to that of HLG QBs.

Spider Farmer grow lights contain a mix of 5000K and 3000K LEDs (besides a few 660nm and 760nm LEDs). This combination makes the overall spectrum very balanced.

The light spectrums of Spider Farmer grow lights are perfect for all plant growth stages.

This is particularly true for the flowering stage. A popular grower’s choice indeed when growing an indoor plant.

The newest Spider Farmer grow lights come with a dimmer function. It allows you to reduce the light output or the light intensity of the grow light.

Dimming is especially beneficial during the seeding and vegetative phases. If you want to reduce energy consumption, this feature is excellent.

Overall, Spider Farmer grow lights are cheaper than HLG grow lights (check their prices here).

An indoor plant gardener would definitely love the Spider LED grow light. It has an affordable price and excellent performance.

But if you are still looking for other LED light options, then continue on.

Growing your indoor plant will be a breeze with the help of Mars Hydro grow lights. We will give this LED grow light the title as one of the growers’ choices when it comes to indoor gardening.

The brand uses Epistar diodes, instead of Samsung diodes, in the vast majority of its grow lights.

In fact, Mars Hydro SP 3000 is the only Mars Hydro grow light model with Samsung LEDs.

The Samsung diodes found in Mars Hydro SP 3000 are LM301B. That’s identical to the ones present in Spider Farmer grow lights.

The device also has deep red Osram diodes.

In total, Mars Hydro SP 3000 has 960 LED chips, so it generates a very intense light.

The PPFD of this device at a height of 18 inches is around 1130 µmol/m²/s (at the center of the coverage area).

Besides that, the light spectrum of Mars Hydro SP 3000 is dominantly red light. So, it’s perfect for heavy-flowering and fruiting plants.

Mars Hydro SP 3000 Spectrum

Since Mars Hydro SP 3000 has a rectangular shape, its coverage area is also rectangular.

That means it’s hard to make the most out of this light in a tight grow tent with a square area. So, make sure to check the dimensions of your grow tent before buying this grow light.

Mars Hydro SP 3000 is also somewhat pricey (check its price here). That is compared to other grow lights, including HLG Quantum Boards and Spider Farmer LEDs.

Another indoor plant grow light you can consider is the Roleadro LED strips. This indoor plant grow light is a flexible grow light that people use for several purposes.

These lights contain Samsung LM301B diodes. They have a Kelvin rating (spectrum) of 3000K.

They also contain other diodes rated 660nm, 3500K, and 6000K.

Roleadro LED strips have a very balanced spectrum that is equally rich in blue light and red light.

But these LED strips aren’t as bright as other indoor plant grow lights on this list.

So, they can be best used for a few things. They can be used for medium-light plants. You can also use them to enhance plant growth in their vegetative or seedling phase.

They can also be used as supplemental lighting.

Roleadro LED strips can fit everywhere and are perfect for growing plants on shelves.

These lights are perfect for you if you want to grow a few herbs or greens in the kitchen.

Four Roleadro strips only draw around 40 watts of power. So, they’re very efficient.

Besides that, these grow lights have a timer function, and you can dim their light output from 100% to 25%.

The user manual that comes with these LEDs isn’t very clear. Luckily, you can easily install the lights without much effort, without having to use the manual.

Roleadro LED strips are the cheapest grow lights on our list (check their prices here).

Last on our list but not least is Gavita. This grow light is a known brand in the indoor plant grow light industry. Its high-quality HID (High-Intensity Discharge) lamps are well known.

But recently, the brand started manufacturing LED lights. And its newest LED grow light is Gavita Pro 1700e LED.

Gavita 1700e LED is a very powerful device, but it costs a lot of money.

This grow light has a total of 3,336 Samsung and Osram diodes!

Gavita Pro 1700e LED is the brightest grow light on our list. Its light (PAR) output is around 1700 µmol/s.

It generates that quantity of light at a very high-efficiency rate. Its PPF efficacy is around 2.6 µmol/s.

Another fantastic feature of this device is its design.

Eight LED bars, fixed together in one frame, make up the Gavita Pro 1700e LED.

This design makes the light more uniform over the device’s coverage area. That means the light intensity won’t vary a lot from one location to another in the coverage area.

Gavita Pro 1700e is very expensive (check its price here), but it’s worth every penny.

We highly recommend this light for serious and professional growers.
