Plant lights can replace sunlight to supplement light for plants to promote plant growth. They can be used when planting vegetables, fruits, and flowers. They can not only promote the growth of seedlings, but also promote flowering and fruiting, increase production, and advance the market. There are many types, and the spectrum includes the full spectrum and the red and blue light spectrum. Is the plant light a full spectrum or a red and blue light spectrum?

After research on the absorption and utilization of sunlight by plant growth, it is found that the absorption and utilization of red and blue light in sunlight by plants is the greatest. Red light can promote plant flowering and fruiting, and blue light can promote plant growth. Therefore, in the later research on plant lamps, people developed plant lamps with red and blue spectrum. This kind of light has the best effect on the growth of plants, and it has better effect on crops and flowers that need to ensure the color. Moreover, the red and blue light can be matched according to the needs to obtain the most suitable spectrum for plant growth.

There are only two spectrums of red light and blue light in the red and blue plant light, while the full-spectrum plant light simulates sunlight. The spectrum is the same as that of sunlight, and the light emitted is white light. Both of them have the effect of supplementing light to promote plant growth, but different crops should pay attention to choosing the most suitable one when choosing the spectrum.

For flowering and fruiting, crops and flowers that need to be colored, it is best to use red and blue plant lights, which can color, promote flowering, and increase yield. For leafy crops, full-spectrum plant lights can be used. If you grow plants at home, it is best to choose a full-spectrum plant light, because the red and blue light of the plant light is pink, and people will feel dizzy, nauseated and uncomfortable if they are in this environment for a long time.

Can ordinary LED lights be used as plant lights?

Ordinary LED lights can illuminate plants, but the effect is not good. Plant growth, from photosynthesis to the production of nutrients, requires different wavelengths of spectral illumination at each time period, that is, the full spectrum of sunlight.

In traditional agricultural production, ordinary electric light sources are generally used to supplement light and agricultural technical measures such as the application of different covering materials are used to achieve rapid growth of plants to meet people's living needs.

LED Grow Light Market Prospects

Not long ago, Taga City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan publicly demonstrated the world's largest LED (Light Emitting Diode) artificial light plant factory to the media. The factory, called "Future Hata", covers an area of about 2,300 square meters and uses 17,500 LED lights.

The effect of photosynthesis on plants

Aug .05.2022

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates. Photosynthesis is the basis for the survival and development of life on earth. Light is the energy source of photosynthesis, and it is also a kind of signal information that controls the light quality, light intensity and photoperiod of plant development. Light is also an important environmental factor affecting the production of facility crops.
