**Grower A.**These HPS bulbs burn out faster and faster. Just replaced 200 last month, but my electricity bill hasn’t gone down at all.
**Grower B:** Why not try this quantum panel grow light? I crunched the numbers—if you switch your 10-acre farm to these, by this time next year, you’ll be throwing a party in Las Vegas!”
For those running commercial grow operations, have you ever done the math? Lighting directly impacts plant growth, and factors like efficiency, energy consumption, and maintenance costs will ultimately affect your bottom line.
In plant lighting, **PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density)** is what matters—put simply, it’s the amount of usable light your plants receive.
The Quantum Panel delivers an impressive PPFD of 972 μmol/s, while traditional HPS lights only provide 300 μmol/s.
Think of HPS lights like watering plants with a fire hose—lots of water (300 μmol/s), but half of it splashes onto the walls. In contrast, the Quantum Panel works like a precision drip irrigation system (972 μmol/s), ensuring every drop of light goes directly to the plant.
In other words, within the same growing area, the Quantum Panel provides 3x more effective light than HPS.
3x the light = 3x the photosynthesis = 3x the potential yield!
For example, in a tomato greenhouse where HPS lighting yields 10 kg per square meter, switching to Quantum Panels under the same conditions could theoretically produce 30 kg per square meter.
If your annual harvest is 100 tons, that could jump to 300 tons—isn’t that kind of profit boost worth considering?
(Pro tip: Different crops have varying conversion rates, but for vegetables, a 3x increase is common!)
Electricity is one of the biggest expenses in commercial growing, especially in high-cost areas like California.
Let’s break it down:
– Suppose your greenhouse is 1,000 square meters.
– Each HPS light consumes 1,000W, and you have 100 lights.
– Running 12 hours a day, that’s 438,000 kWh per year.
– At California’s average rate of $0.20 per kWh, your annual lighting bill is $87,600.
Now, what if you switch to Quantum Panels?
– To achieve the same PPFD coverage, you only need 30 lights, each consuming 600W.
– Total annual energy use drops to 78,840 kWh, reducing your electricity bill to $15,768 per year!
That’s a direct savings of $71,832 per year—or $359,160 over five years, which is more than the cost of the lights themselves!
Wouldn’t it be better to reinvest those savings into employee benefits or business growth?
HPS lights come with a major drawback—short bulb lifespan. Their light output declines significantly each year, forcing frequent replacements.
Over time, constantly replacing HPS bulbs adds up, making it an expensive and inefficient choice for commercial growers.
As can be seen, the maintenance costs saved by Quantum Panel could buy a new set of lights in 10 years, while HPS lights still require ongoing bulb replacements.
You should also consider that quantum lights generate only one-third heat of HPS lights, saving a significant amount on air conditioning electricity costs.
✔ 3x higher yield per square meter, directly boosting your revenue.
✔ 80% lower electricity costs, meaning your annual savings could exceed the cost of the lights.
✔ 10 years of maintenance-free operation, no more yearly bulb replacements—saving both money and hassle.
The HPS era is over—if you’re still using it, you might just be burning money for no reason.
For commercial growers, higher yields + lower costs = bigger profits. The Quantum Panel LED is hands down the smarter choice!
