What You Should Know About
Led Grow Lights Energy-efficient
LED Grow Lights are the lighting of the future of agriculture. They are not only economic in their use but they produce better plants as well, in comparison to all traditional lighting options. In the texts below you can read how the LED grow lights work, how they affect plant growth, and what advantages the LED lights have over the thus far most widely used artificial lighting in agriculture – HPS lamps.
What are LEDs and how do they work?
LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) are small electronic components made of two different types of semiconductor material, one having a negative charge, called electrons, and the other having a positive charge, called holes. When voltage is properly applied over an LED, an electric current starts to flow through it making electrons and holes start to collide releasing energy in the form of photons, light quanta, in a process called recombination. The first LEDs had relatively low light output and limited selections of colors while modern LEDs have high brightness and come in varieties of colors in visible, infrared, and ultraviolet spectral ranges.
What is LED grow lights?
As suggested by their name, LED grow lights are luminaires utilizing LED chips in a modern and efficient way to produce light for growing plants. LED grow lights come in many shapes and sizes but as the most essential units of LED grow lights LED chips to have most of the effect on the quality of the light, i.e. spectrum (colors) and photon flux ([brightness") produced. Since
LED Grow Light manufacturers can choose the LEDs they use in their lamps, it is important to understand which kind of
Led Grow Light best fits the specific application. One of the advantages of LED grow lights compared to traditional lighting solutions is the ability to match the light to the needs of plants.
