2017 LED lighting will over 5 percent of gardening market

Although horticulture LED products have been listed on the commercialization of a decade, but with the progress of technology and product quality, has only recently begun to show growth momentum. Nowadays, LED has been very efficient, but also much that can supply the correct wavelength of light in order to increase crop yield advantage, making it more and more lighting technology of choice for application places.

Navigant Research senior research analyst Jesse Foote expressed, “LED technology can significantly improve indoor crop profitability, resulting in rapid increase in this type of planting site. By increasing crop yields and achieve energy and more efficient use of space, LED It is expected to boom triggered a wave of indoor food production facilities. ”

According to the report, low heat output characteristics of the LED illumination light source allows growers to plant it near your place, without having to worry about burn the leaves, but also do not have to re-use an additional heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, so plant It can be more intensive growth in vertical indoor facility. At the same time, depending on the type of plant, the specific optical wavelength trimming LED, but also increase the yield up to 30%.

In this called “LED horticultural lighting applications” (LED Lighting for Horticultural Applications) report, Navigant Research analysis of the global LED horticultural lighting applications. The report also analyzes the overall issue for horticultural applications, including driving forces and trends, barriers, cost, technology development, and information about the lamps and other lighting.
