The impact of plant lighting on plants

2023-05-10


LED plant lighting, as an energy-saving and efficient lighting method, simulates the photosynthesis of plants under sunlight to supplement the light energy needed by plants, thereby achieving the functions of accelerating plant growth, extending flowering period, and improving plant quality.

Light is an essential element for plant growth. The widespread application of plant lighting in fields such as vegetables, fruits, herbs, flowers, and aquaculture is very optimistic about the broad prospects and sustainable development of plant lighting. Therefore, in the selection of plant lighting fixtures, not only should the lighting effect be considered, but also the impact of lighting design on plant growth. Plant lighting should comply with the laws of plant growth, otherwise it can easily affect the normal growth of plants and may even cause them to wither and die.

When selecting LED plant lighting, spectrum is the most crucial thing, and all parameters revolve around the premise of effective spectrum. The light bands required for photosynthesis of reference sunlight plants are between 400nm and 720nm, with blue light (400-520nm) and red light (620-720nm) being the most important for photosynthesis. When purchasing a lamp, you can check if the spectrum contains red and blue light. The more light in these two bands, the stronger the photosynthesis and the faster the plant grows.
