Traditional plant-lighting industry can be divided into two parts:
Plant Lighting: work as a complementary of sunlight, regulate the growth of agricultural products.
Aquarium Lighting: to promote the growth of aquatic plants, also play a role of ornamental.
With the improvement of people’s living standards, a large number of family are equipped with ornamental tub, led aquarium lighting should be more prosperous in plant lighting market in future.
There are two key points in plant lighting: The choice of light wavelength and light color collocation. Most of the plant light is a combination of red light (with a wavelength of 630-640nm) and Blue light (with a wavelength of 460-470nm). Plant light can be adjustable by adding other lights (yellow, orange light). These all depends on the properties of plants.
According to the results given by scientist’s experiments, red ray is a mainly stimulation of plants, blue-ray’s plays a role to promote the plants bear fruits. Non-flowering plants have a large demand of red light, such as cabbage. However, cucumber, tomato and other flowering plants needs more purple light. In some places, led high bay can be treated as a substitute.
LEDinside survey found that Chinese manufacturers of led aquarium lighting is not enough, most of them are concentrated in Shenzhen. LED plant lighting market is concentrated in countries and regions with underdeveloped agriculture due to lack of land, such as Japan, Korea, China and the United States, Europe.
Compared to the traditional plants lighting technology, LED plants lighting has two main advantages:
Energy conservation: can directly produce lights needed by plants with less power consumption;
Efficient: LED emits monochromatic light, can be manufactured particular light wavelength to meet the plants need, which cannot be realized by traditional lighting products.
