Primary vs. Supplemental Lighting
COB stands for “chip on board”, and it’s called that because of the construction of the diodes. Each diode contains many tiny, low-wattage chips that shine together to give you a super charged light out of a single diode.
Spread-style LED grow lights get their name from the way the diodes on them are spread across their surface. They’re relatively inexpensive compared to other LED grow lights, and just as effective despite their limited wavelength offerings.
Traditional LED grow lights are an industry standard these days. They’re some of the most reliable LEDs on the market, with individual drivers controlling up to 100w per cluster.
Types of LEDs
Now that you know what LED grow lights are made of, let’s talk about the types of LEDs that are out there for you.
There are a lot of styles with their benefits and challenges, so let’s dive into the types of LEDs you can choose from.

The power supply, or driver, of all LED grow lights is essentially the brains.
