The development process of LED plant light, why LED plant light will be popular

Before talking about plants lights, it is necessary to understand the development process of LED plant lighting industry and LED plant lighting enterprises in the past ten years.
The R&D and application of LED solid-state light sources are first carried out in foreign countries. The cost of LED light sources is very high at the initial stage of development, and naturally the price is also high, which is not realistic for large-scale commercialization and civilian use. Japan was the first to use LED light sources for plant cultivation research. Since then, NASA has used LEDs for the lighting of closed life support systems such as space bases. Since the 1980s, developed countries have begun feasibility studies on LED light sources as light sources for plant growth. In the mid-1990s, LEDs were used in plant research facility cultivation. At the beginning of 2000, commercial LED plant lighting fixtures appeared. Around 2010, LED red and blue plant lighting devices developed into the mainstream and were used in production fields such as plant factories.

Sincore Lighting Optoelectronics can be regarded as one of the first domestic enterprises to invest in the research and development and production of LED plant lighting products. At first, the lamps used for plant lighting were fluorescent tubes. The advantage is that the price is low, and the disadvantage is also obvious that the spectrum is not controllable. Around 2010, LED red and blue plant lighting fixtures appeared, but the cost of LEDs was not "close to the people". The actual use of LED red and blue plant lights for lighting supplements are generally government demonstration projects, laboratories, and overseas planting customers. The acceptance of LED plant supplement light by farmers is still very low.
 
LED red and blue plant lights use the ratio of red and blue lamp beads, mainly because a single LED chip cannot maturely "integrate" the light of different bands on the same chip. Since 2013, LED chips and packaging processes have become more and more mature, and full-spectrum LED plant growth lamps have begun to appear on the market, but the market’s response has always been tepid, due to expensive lamp costs, electricity costs and crop yields. The proportion and the limited level of my country’s agricultural modernization development, LED plant growth lights are less acceptable in China, and the use of LED plant lights abroad is also mostly used in modern vertical farms for vegetable and fruit planting.

The turning point appears from 2018 to 2020. The industrial plants market is gradually liberalized in North America, and some other countries will also put on the agenda whether to liberalize industrial plants cultivation. Industrial plants, such as high economic value-added crops, "gives" plant growth lights. With the new life, industrial plants planting lights have become hot, and many domestic lighting companies have entered the market.
The TPO company is FIuence, which is acquired by Osram. Through repeated experiments and comparisons, it has come up with the most effective lamp bead ratio for plants cultivation-Osram's red (660nm) and amsung's high-efficiency white (301B). Gradually, such a spectrum scheme is accepted in the market, and the general lighting company that enters the market thinks that the use of such a scheme is a plants lamp. Is this actually the case?
 
 
Is it that we really can't make good plant growth lights?
Sincore Lighting carried out small-scale supplemental light planting experiments as early as when the LED technology was mature, and successfully planted leafy vegetables, flowering fruits, fruits and vegetables in a dark room environment without light through different spectrums. , The growth period of crops under indoor controlled water, temperature and light conditions is 15%-30% shorter than that in outdoor environments. Although the domestic market reacted slowly in 2018 when the industrial plants began to explode, Sincore Lighting still developed an industrial plants planting lamp with independent intellectual property rights and design patents with the cooperation of domestic chip factories and packaging factories.

Compared with the traditional plant planting supplementary lighting program, the advantages of LED are obvious. Industrial plants planting will inevitably bring LED plant growth lights for a period of time, but the heat fades, LED plant lighting will still fall into the hands of solid enterprises.
