“Because of the rapid urban population growth, urban food is difficult to meet people's needs, and LED plant lighting technology can achieve localized production, which not only improves efficiency, increases crop yield, but also solves food safety problems.” 
LED Advantages In Plant Growth Lighting
With the continuous development of modern agriculture, the demand and energy consumption of plant lighting is constantly expanding, and new challenges are also raised for traditional plant lighting technology. As a new generation of a light source, in addition to the characteristics of energy saving and environmental protection, LED has the advantages of the free combination of spectrum, high color purity, and rich color compared with fluorescent lamps or high-pressure sodium lamps commonly used in traditional agricultural fields.
According to plant lighting experts, compared to traditional plant lighting technology, LED technology has lower power consumption and can save a lot of energy costs. LED-based plant lighting solutions can help growers achieve both production demand and sustainability goals, which can help growers increase production by 25% and energy costs by 50%. The special lighting configuration not only optimizes the yield and growth time but also enhances the nutrients contained in the crop and improves its taste and flavor.
It can be seen that LED growing lamps can be designed into various styles of light sources according to different plant types, purposes, and needs, and precisely control the required spectrum. It is suitable for various illumination methods and types of plant factories. Arrived.
Led Grow Lights Has Broad Prospects
With the continuous improvement of LED plant lighting technology, its application fields will become more and more extensive, including skyscraper tops, vertical farms, greenhouse canopies, homes, shopping malls, and even abandoned containers, etc., can develop plant lighting. According to statistics, the CAGR of the LED plant lighting market will reach 27% from 2015 to 2020. Among them, the increase in food demand is expected to reach 59%-98% by 2025.
According to the estimation of the scale of the existing agricultural industry in the world, the demand for agricultural LED lighting fixtures and their control equipment will reach tens of billions of yuan in the next five years. Plant factories and greenhouse fill light will be the fastest growing LED lighting field with high technical content. The equipment is intelligent and systematic, and it is the focus of the development of the agricultural semiconductor lighting industry. It can be seen that with the increase in the penetration rate of global LED application agricultural lighting, the future market prospect is broad.
Although LED plant lighting has a broad market space, there are still some shortcomings in specific applications. Since LED plant lights need to comprehensively consider factors such as light intensity, spectrum, tube distribution uniformity, efficiency, and heat generation, and plant growth requires specific bands, different varieties, and growth cycles will have different light requirements, so plant factories need to Integrate plant species, growth stages, etc., and adjust the optimal growth curve in a timely manner.
