Energy-saving LED light source is the first choice for plant factory lighting

It is well known that light is an important factor in the growth of plants. Changing the wavelength of light and the color of light can even affect the growth cycle of plants. Plant factories have emerged as an effective means of solving food problems, and energy-saving LED light sources have become the first choice for plant factory lighting.

An industry insider said that the advantages of LED light source in the field of agricultural plants, "In addition to the well-known energy-saving features, LEDs have narrow wavelengths, pure light quality, high light efficiency, rich wavelength types, and spectral energy. Convenient modulation and low heat, small size, long life and other outstanding advantages, to facilitate the concentration of plants required wavelengths to achieve balanced close range illumination."

With the development of LED industry technology, the application of LED lighting in the agricultural field is also becoming more mature. It is known that the application of LED in agricultural lighting mainly includes plant production, aquaculture, microalgae cultivation, edible fungus production, etc. At the same time, the innovative development of LED agricultural lighting is also steadily carried out, mainly focusing on plant growth lamps, livestock and poultry field lighting. Lights, fishing lights, selective pest traps, etc.

On March 18, 2013, Taiwan's “Agriculture Commission” Agricultural Experimental Institute stated that LED traps have been developed to achieve “energy saving” and “high trapping” by using light trapping technology developed by pests on the principle of preference of special light waves. The demand for “efficiency” is 2,500 insects per 10 minutes, which improves the safety of pest control in barns and solves the problem of pesticide residues, which will be gradually extended to barn pest control.

It can be seen that LED lighting has gradually become the backbone of green production. While agricultural lighting is one of the most promising areas of LED special lighting, there are many possibilities that may be waiting to be turned on.
