Question

Will a regular LED light grow plants?

Answer

Yes, a regular LED light can grow plants to some extent but may not be as effective as specialized plant growth LED lights. These general-purpose LEDs provide adequate illumination, but they do not focus on specific wavelengths that promote healthy plant growth like red and blue spectrums. However, you can still use them if no other options are available or for smaller indoor gardens where space is limited. Also, remember to adjust your LED fixture's distance from the plants based on their intensity level to avoid overexposure and heat damage.
