The light might not match the top brands on the market but will still deliver excellent results. In terms of cost, these lights are not only affordable in terms of the price tag but also have lower maintenance expenses and are energy efficient as well. Plus, another great thing is the fact that they produce a lesser amount of heat.

King Plus is one such manufacturer that is known for providing affordable yet high-quality LED grow lights. They have lights of six different wattages. This review will be based on the one thousand watt series, but they also have the six hundred watts, twelve hundred watts, fifteen hundred watts, two thousand watts, and three thousand watts series.

The characteristics and features remain the same for all of these series. The only slight difference is in the operating wattage and power consumption.

Features Of The King Plus 1000Watt Grow Lights Series:

Consumes 185 Watts – The power consumption of these is around fifty percent less than the other HID lights.

Equivalent To 400Watt HID Lights – The performance of these lights is similar to the 400Watt HID lights, but they are far more affordable.

Good Light And Color Spectrum – The lights are beneficial through all the stages of the plant’s development and growth.

Area Of Coverage – The lights are enough to cover an area of 2.5 by 2.5 feet.

Excellent Light Penetration – Since the lights come with 10w double chip Epileds, they have excellent penetration throughout the canopy.

Operational Hours – Can be used for around fifty thousand hours, which means about four to five years.

Warranty Period – These lights have a warranty period of three years.

Accessories – The light comes with a hanging kit to hang it and power wire, thus one has everything needed to set up the lights.

Advantages Of The King Plus 1000Watt Grow Light Series:

The most noticeable feature of the King Plus 1000Watt Grow Light Series is the design of the lights. The lights have paired two bigger five-watt epistar chips. The result is a diode of ten watts. This makes the light emitted extremely powerful and thus enhances the absorption of the light by the plants. This mechanism is better than using a five-watt chip or any three-watt chip.

When installing the light at twenty-four inches from the plants, the par value at the center is 447 umol. If you measure 1 foot out from the center, you will get a value of 313 umol. If you measure the par value at the corners of the light spread, which is three feet, you will get 91 umol. So based on this reading, the light is suitable for a growing area of 3 feet by 3 feet.

Now, if you move the light higher to thirty inches from the plants, your PAR reading will be 230 umol at the center. Moving the light closer to eighteen inches will get you 595 umol, 958 umol at twelve inches, and 1901 umol at six inches. It is noticeable that as the distance between the canopy and the lighting fixture decreases, the PAR value increases.

There is a reason why most grow light manufactures don’t use 5w or a double 5w setup. The reason is the amount of heat the LEDs emit; the larger the watts, the more heat you need to deal with.

To deal with the heat, the King Plus 1000Watt Lights come with an LED board of three millimeters, whereas the other lights have boards of thickness one point six millimeters. Plus, the light also has a cooling system that comprises two fans and vents that dissipate the heat that is produced by the lights.

  • To ensure that the light produced has a perfect blend of the color spectrum. There are a total of one hundred ten watts diodes in this light.
  • These diodes produce a light that comes with red, blue, ultraviolet, and IR colors.
  • There are a total of seventy-one red diodes with a wavelength between 620 and 630 nanometers and 655 to 660 nanometers.
  • The fourteen blue diodes have wavelengths of 440 nanometers and 450 nanometers.
  • The eight yellow diodes have wavelengths between 650 to 620 nanometers.
  • The five warm white diodes have a range between 3000k to 4000k.
  • The one ultraviolet diode has a wavelength between 380 nanometers and 410 nanometers.
  • Lastly, the one IR diode has a wavelength of 730 nanometers.

This ensures that the light spectrum is perfect and is suitable to cater to the needs of the plants through all the stages of development and growth. The wavelength of light produced by this fixture is very similar to the wavelength of natural sunlight.

Disadvantages Of The King Plus 1000Watt Grow Light Series:

As is the case with almost all the lights manufactured by Chinese manufacturers, the King Plus 1000Watt Grow Light series also comes with enormous claims.

However, unfortunately, the lights are unable to match them. As the name indicates, the light series claims to be equivalent to any one thousand watts HID light fixture. But in reality, the light is compatible with only a four hundred watts HID light.

The name is used as a bait to attract customers so the product can be sold in the market. But once the customers have made the purchase and start using the product, it is only then that they realize the real potential of the product and the difference between the claims and the actual performance of the products is uncovered.

The light’s performance is nowhere near the power of a one thousand watt HID lights, but it is compatible with the four hundred watts HID light fixtures. If you are looking for a 400watt HID light fixture that is affordable and easy to maintain, then the King Plus 1000Watt Grow Light Series is highly recommended.

Final Thoughts About The King Plus 1000Watt Grow Light Series:

The critical question is, is this growth light series worth buying? This depends on your requirements and needs. It all boils down to what you need and are looking for. If you are looking for a light that is compatible with a 1000Watt Grow Light, then this light is not for you.

The performance is nowhere close to this standard, and the customers will surely be left disappointed. But if your needs can be fulfilled with a light close to a four hundred watt HID light, then this light is an excellent choice for you.

One of the significant reasons why people should invest in these lights is the cost factor. These lights will cost a lot less as compared to the other renowned lights from popular brands. To cover a 10×10 ft area, around four 600w lights from a famous brand are needed.

But if you use the King Plus 1000Watt Grow Lights, you will need around twelve lights. The number of lights required to cover the same area will increase, but the cost will be significantly lesser.
Cost for a good quality HID lights: 4 x 1899 = $7596
Cost for King lights for same size space is 12 x 200 = $2400

Therefore, although you will need to get more lights, you will still end up saving money at the end of the day because of the price difference of the products. The risk of getting a low-quality light or a defective light is significantly less if you are getting expensive lights. Still, since the King Plus 1000Watt lights come with a warranty period of three years, the risk is dissipated at the end of the day.

The decision of which approach is better, getting expensive yet a small number of light, or investing in a more significant amount of lights that would cost a lot less is yours. It depends on what your priorities are and how much money you are willing to spend on getting grow lights.

Conclusion

Even thou the manufacture claims these are equivalent to a 1000w HID light, which they are not, these are still excellent lights for an equivalent 400 watt HID setup.


They have an excellent warranty, are half the price, and have proven to be extremely durable with an excellent full-spectrum light.


But if you are buying these lights simply because you are impressed by the claims of the manufacturer and think that these lights will be suitable enough to replace anyone thousand watts HID lighting fixture, you need to rethink as these lights will not be able to meet your expectations.
