The "Past and Present" of LED Plant Lights

Light environment is one of the important physical environmental factors that are indispensable for plant growth and development. Through light quality regulation, controlling plant morphology is an important technology in the field of facility cultivation. In the beginning, plants could only grow in the open air, because of many uncontrollable factors in nature, the quality and yield of crops are full of uncertainty. So there was greenhouse planting.

greenhouse planting is a good solution to the uncontrollable growth conditions of a series of plants in the open environment, such as the temperature and humidity suitable for plant growth, and one of the raw materials for plants to accumulate organic matter for photosynthesis-carbon dioxide concentration and so on.

Human beings are always facing problems, but human beings are always solving problems. As the world's population grows and the area of arable land declines, people are also aware of the severity of the food crisis. But people always need food. However, the population is increasing, the arable land is decreasing, and the number of farmers is decreasing. These are the results of social development, which will not be reversed, and it is impossible to reverse. The only solution is to increase farming efficiency and increase the quality of farming production.

The concept of three-dimensional planting gradually emerges. The so-called three-dimensional planting is multi-layer cultivation. Originally, only one layer of crops can be spread on the ground. Multi-layer planting can be realized by using three-dimensional cultivation. Simple three-dimensional planting can be as big as building a skyscraper, forming a three-dimensional planting plant factory.

To achieve three-dimensional planting, the biggest problem is the light needed for plant photosynthesis. Sunlight can only be planted in one layer. Even if it is mirrored, the area is too large and the number of layers is too large, the sun cannot satisfy the planting. need.

Since natural light cannot meet the demand, it can only be supplemented with artificial light. Plant lights came into being. Incandescent lamps to halogen lamps, sodium lamps to fluorescent lamps, although various attempts and applications are progressing, but there is no plant lamp that can guarantee light efficiency and energy saving and environmental protection. It was not until the rapid development of LED technology that LED plant lights were invented and applied, and the concept of three-dimensional planting of plants was once again placed on the countertop. Plant growth lights are more environmentally friendly and energy-saving, provide photosynthesis to plants, promote plant growth, shorten the time it takes for plants to bloom and bear fruit, and increase production! In modernization, it is an indispensable product for crops.

LED plant growth lights control plant growth by regulating light. The ability to consistently grow food locally represents a major breakthrough for mankind. Growing lights allow people to grow food indoors, and making full use of waste space is also an efficient way to produce food.

The removal of transportation costs from the food chain is also a major breakthrough. The ability to consistently provide fresh and hygienic food represents a major shift in people`s lifestyle and quality of life. The Growth Lamp increases the density of food production by a factor of ten. This is of great significance.

Compared with the previous high-pressure sodium lamps and metal halide lamps, LED plant growth lamps are more powerful and efficient. Less heat allows the plant light to be closer to the plant, and there is no need to worry about the plant being scorched. A series of advantages such as high luminous efficiency, low energy consumption, energy saving and environmental protection, and controllable spectrum make it a leader in the field of plant light supplementation.

The next generation of LED Grow Lights can turn on a dramatic "power saving mode", providing unparalleled product reliability. As shown by Taiwan's Everlight GL-Flora LED plant lighting fixtures, LED plant growth lights are changing. They can accurately provide low power consumption and high efficiency uniform light pattern and light distribution with suitable wavelength and color ratio, which are exactly what is needed for efficient photosynthesis. It is reported that the LED plant lighting module market in 2014 reached 395 million U.S. dollars, and it is expected to grow to 1.8 billion U.S. dollars by 2021. As greenhouse plant growers understand that LED Grow Lights can improve agriculture, this number is expected to grow rapidly.
