Lighting Applications - Horticulture

Horticulture is a subset of agriculture; plants are cultivated on a smaller scale and in a more controlled manner, requiring light in order to grow. Scientists study and determine the most optimal manner in which to grow plants. It has been observed that, when exposed to certain wavelengths of red and blue light, positive results are obtained. As a result of this data, many companies are shifting more production and research into this growing area.

Wavelength selection and control drive horticulture application considerations. Because the wavelengths that are employed are very specific, there are fewer supply sources available for the LED. Proper design of optical steering and beam shaping optics ensures the light is focused on the desired target.

This design is for reference only. The design, as well as the products suggested, has not been tested for compatibility or interoperability.
