China LED grow lighting conditions difficult

　　In recent years, can promote plant growth led lighting products compelling, these organisms led lighting products known as "plant factory." According to industry analyst firm reported 2013 global plant led lighting factory output of up to $ 1.2 billion, representing an increase of 27 percent in 2012. Moreover, led lighting still livestock and biological aquaculture, plant tissue culture, mushroom cultivation, fishing light with respect trap lamp applications "have a go." Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development arts researcher Liu believes that modern agriculture is concerned, the demand for artificial lighting is necessary, urgent.

　　led as a semiconductor solid cold light source, a light pure quality, high efficiency, rich wavelength type, light intensity and light quality modulation convenient, as well as energy-saving, environmental protection, long life and other advantages, is the best source of agricultural produce light environment regulation. However, led lighting in our biological but is going through a difficult initial period.

　　From a global market perspective, preliminary statistics in 2013 led biological lighting market size has reached ten million U.S. dollars, is expected in 2014 will exceed $ 35 million, 2017 is expected to reach $ 300 million. Currently, led lighting applications focused on biological or agricultural workers less scarce national and regional agricultural land resources, Japan, Korea, the United States and Europe are major markets led biological lighting.

　　At present, China engaged in led plant lights are not many manufacturers to small and medium enterprises, mainly located in Shenzhen, Dongguan, export-oriented products, most did not form sales. And, led biological lights slightly higher price than other light sources, led a large upfront investment biological lighting applications, unable to compete with other light sources.
