<p>Were the LEDs sold as being suitable for use as grow lights or were they just standard LEDs?</p>
<p>LEDs have quite a narrow spectrum of light output and if that spectrum is not what the plants require then they won't have much effect.</p>
<p>Also with regard to the distance of the LEDs above the plants, halving the distance will increase the amount of light that the plants receive by four times.as the illumination is proportional to the distance squared. So reducing the distance to 10 cms…</p>

<p>Also with regard to the distance of the LEDs above the plants, halving the distance will increase the amount of light that the plants receive by four times.as the illumination is proportional to the distance squared. So reducing the distance to 10 cms from 40cms as Japan Aquaponics advises will give you 16 times the amount of light reaching the plants.</p>
<p>Bear in mind though that the LEDs only have a relatively narrow angle of emission, usually no more than 20 or 25 degrees so you may have to compromise the distance in order to avoid black areas and get even illumination to all the plants.</p> thank you guys, I will modify…tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2013-05-13:4778851:Comment:4750632013-05-13T19:53:57.716ZFabrizio Borrellohttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/FabrizioBorrello

<p>That could be your answer Fabrizio.... the lights could be much closer to your plants - within about 10cms should be good. If all else is equal in your system then the distance between your plants and the lights is a little bit too much - especially as it sounds like these are not necessarily high-powered lights.<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Fabrizio Borrello said:…</cite></p>
