The Greenhouse Lighting Requirements

Greenhouse requires led light to promote crop growth and yield. Also, it plays an important role in photosynthesis. In summer it is important to bring enough shade for plants. Besides, in winter the lighting requirements change because low light along with low temperatures can cause plant growth to slow down.

Why LED lighting is helpful?

• LED lights to emit less heat, which allows them to be placed very close to plants, and even between plant canopy.
• LED lights meet ROHS standards.
• Small size & low weight, and no big ballasts.
• Up to 50% power consumption economy compared to HPS lamps. This is especially suitable for new projects since savings will come also from lower power and lower cost electrical power facilities in the greenhouse.

How much light does a greenhouse need?

A greenhouse needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to get the most of the sunlight for your greenhouse. Besides, keep in mind to keep the windows clean in winter, and remove the dust regularly as it is proved to increase the light intensity by 10%.

How to choose LED lights?

LED grow lights have complex lighting apparatus and the performance largely depends on technical specifications. To choose LED plant lights, one point must take into consideration factors such as plant type, plant development stage, and area of lighting. Compared with HID lamp technology where light is emitted in a 360-degree plane, LEDs are directional light sources. Secondly, lenses may be used to focus light and evenly direct it on the growing surface where it is needed. This helps to avoid large area lamp reflectors and minimize the shadow footprint of LED lights, reduce hot spots and increase the uniformity of lighting. LEDs are ideal for plant growth.

Atop supplemental led grow lights can be used in the low light environment of the greenhouse to provide plant fill light conditions and improve space utilization. It can not only provide reasonable light environment conditions for the growth of agricultural plants, reduce the use of pesticides, hormones, and other chemicals to ensure food safety, but also is a low energy consumption green light source with broad application prospects, which is an important development trend of future plant lighting light source.
