The Benefits of LED Grow Lights

Author : Jerry Song Date : 11/16/2009 6:03:50 AM

Light is an essential energy source for plant growth, LEDKE recently introduced a substitute for the sunlight -- the LED plant grow lights. This lamps can customize light for different plants in different growth stages. We have researched a series of parameters, this parameters can be changed in different plant grow application.

1) LED grow lights can provide different light suitable for different vegetables. 
There are many ways to improve crop production, one is biotechnology, such as the hybrid rice; the other is the chemical methods, such as fertilizers, pesticides and hormones and so on. And the method we are exploring is a physical way, it's by controlling the light to promote plant growth, aim at reduce over-reliance for modern agriculture on chemical technology gradually.

Light is a magic power, it play a regulatory role in plant photosynthesis, growth, morphogenesis and metabolism. At present, it's generally use fluorescent lighting, high pressure sodium lamp, and incandescent lamp in a greenhouse to make up the lack of sunlight, but the spectral distribution of these light sources is based on the needs of the human eyes, while the spectrum needed for plant growth is different from the needs of human eyes. But the LED with rich wavelength types, and easy for control, suitable for plant growth lighting.

For example, the need of light is different in the process of nurturing radish and cabbage, we can configure different LED lights in accordance with their respective preferences. When cultivate sprouts, the leaf size, content of chlorophyll, carotene and vitamin, can be realized through the illumination adjustment.

2) LED grow light can reduce the cost of plant breeding.
Industrial Breeding is an important modern agriculture, during the breeding, it's need 0.5 kilowatts per square meter for the traditional light sources, while equipped only 0.27 kilowatts for the LED lamp, so that we can save about half energy. And more, this new LED grow lights are able to restore the original appearance of plant growth, and the present cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables in greenhouse tasted bad is mainly because the irregular light. 

3) LED grow light have many extended usages.
There are many extended research on this LED lights, it not only can achieve intensification of plant production, reduce the use of plant hormones or other chemicals, but also can be used for the physical prevention of agricultural pests by using a specific wavelength to eradicate pests. More, it can be used for animal breeding, with the implementation of a specific wavelength of the LED light to promote animal production, and reduce the occurrence of disease, reducing the use of feed additives and hormones and so on.
