Quantum Board vs Conventional HPS: A Comparative Planting Yield Experiment 

 May 8, 2025

By  lightmyleaf

In today's age of rapidly advancing agricultural technology, growers are always looking for innovative solutions to improve crop yield and quality. In the lighting world, Quantum Boards are emerging as a new plant grow light technology that is competing with traditional High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps. Today, we will discuss the experimental data of Quantum Board Light and traditional HPS in terms of planting yield, and reveal the mystery behind this cutting-edge technology.

Background and Purpose of the Experiment

In order to comprehensively evaluate the difference in planting yield between Quantum Board and traditional HPS, we have carefully designed a series of comparative experiments. Common crop varieties were selected for the experiments and planted under the same environmental conditions using Quantum Board Lightmyleaf branded Quantum Boards and conventional HPS lights respectively. Our goal is to provide growers with an objective and accurate basis for decision-making through scientific data analysis, and help them choose the lighting solution that best suits their growing needs.

Experimental Setup and Data Collection

The experiments were conducted in a professional growing facility to ensure the consistency of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and ventilation. We divided the growing area into two equal sections, with one section fitted with Quantum Board Lightmyleaf-branded Lights and the other using traditional HPS lights. Throughout the crop's growth cycle, we regularly record crop growth metrics, including plant height, stem thickness, and number of leaves, and accurately measure the crop's yield at harvest.

Comparative Analysis of Yield Data

Overall Yield Improvement

The results of the experiments show that the overall yield of the crops grown with Quantum Board Lightmyleaf brand quantum boards has significantly improved compared to the crops grown with traditional HPS lights. Take tomato planting in an experiment as an example, the average yield of tomato plants using Quantum Board reached 8,000 kilograms per acre, while the average yield of tomato plants using traditional HPS lamps was only 6,000 kilograms per acre, with a 33.3% increase in yield ((8,000-6,000)/6,000×100%). This data fully demonstrates the excellent performance of Quantum Board in improving crop yield.

Impact at Different Growth Stages

Further analyzing the crop at different growth stages, we found that Quantum Board played an active role in all growth stages of the crop. At the seedling stage, the high quality spectrum provided by the Quantum Board promotes photosynthesis and nutrient uptake, resulting in a more robust seedling, with a significantly higher stem thickness and number of leaves than seedlings under conventional HPS lamps. During the flowering and fruiting period, the Quantum Board was able to precisely regulate light intensity and spectral distribution to stimulate bud differentiation and fruit development, resulting in improved fruit set and quality. In contrast, traditional HPS lamps have a fixed spectrum, making it difficult to meet the diverse light needs of crops at different growth stages, resulting in limited crop growth and compromised yields.

Improvement in Quality Indicators

In addition to increased yields, crops grown with Quantum Boards have also seen significant improvements in quality. Taking fruit crops as an example, the soluble solids content, vitamin C content and other quality indicators of fruits grown by Quantum Board are higher than those grown by traditional HPS lamps. For example, in one experiment, the soluble solids content of strawberries grown with Quantum Board reached 12%, while the soluble solids content of strawberries grown with traditional HPS lamps was only 8%. High-quality fruits not only taste better, but also have higher nutritional value, which can satisfy consumers' demand for high-quality agricultural products and bring higher economic benefits for growers.

Advantages of Quantum Board

High Energy Efficiency and Low Heat

Quantum Board is known for its high energy efficiency, which is able to convert more electrical energy into light energy and reduce energy waste. In contrast, traditional HPS lamps have low energy efficiency, and most of the energy is converted into heat, which not only increases energy costs, but also may lead to high temperatures in the planting environment, affecting the normal growth of crops. the low heat characteristics of the Quantum Board allows the grower to not need to invest in a large number of additional cooling equipment, reducing the cost of planting, and at the same time, creating a more stable and suitable environment for the crops to grow.

Precise Spectral Control

Quantum Board provides precise spectral control, allowing growers to flexibly adjust the wavelength and intensity of light according to the crop's growth stage and needs. This personalized light solution can better meet the photosynthetic needs of crops and promote crop growth and development. The spectrum of traditional HPS lamps is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to crop needs, making it difficult to meet the special requirements of different crops and different growth stages.

Long Lifespan and Low Maintenance Costs

The long lifespan of the Quantum Board reduces the frequency of replacement, lowers maintenance costs, and enhances the continuity of planting. Traditional HPS lamps have a shorter lifespan and need to be replaced more frequently, which not only increases planting costs, but may also lead to planting interruptions, affecting the growth cycle of crops. In addition, the simple structure and easy maintenance of Quantum Board further reduces the grower's operating costs.

Conclusions and Recommendations

Through this comparison experiment, we clearly see the significant advantages of Quantum Board Lightmyleaf brand Quantum Board in terms of planting yield and quality. Compared with traditional HPS lights, Quantum Board not only increases the overall crop yield, but also improves the quality indicators of the crop, bringing higher economic benefits to growers. At the same time, its high energy efficiency, low heat, precise spectral control, long life and low maintenance costs make Quantum Board an ideal choice for modern agricultural cultivation.

For the majority of growers, if you are looking for a lighting solution that can increase crop yield and quality and reduce growing costs, then 120W Quantum Board Lightmyleaf brand Quantum Board is undoubtedly your best choice. We believe that with the continuous progress of science and technology and the promotion of applications, Quantum Board will play an increasingly important role in the field of modern agriculture and make greater contributions to the promotion of sustainable agricultural development.

Let's embrace the planting revolution brought by Quantum Board and open a new era of high yield, high quality and high efficiency!
