LED Grow Lights Run Quietly

Large LED rigs run relatively quietly (although they do make noise), might not use as much electricity as HID lamps, may produce less heat (they claim to convert more of the energy into light), and provide a large footprint of lighted growing area.

These features make true full-spectrum LED fixtures useful for growing in an open living space where you don’t want pink- or purple-colored light. Be prepared for these fixtures to make some noise and carry a heftier price tag than other LEDs.
