What are the problems and solutions of LED plant grow lighting application

We have been stressing the implementation of the development of LED plant grow lightingbut neglecting the study of various aspects of plant growth habit. All along, led industry, materials and electric light research community, the agricultural engineering sector are the main force of development and promotion of biological LED plant grow lighting, there is a lack of profound understanding of the cultivated principles of plants and no general considerations on general principles of demand on plant cultivation (or animal breeding). For example, plant growth needs the comprehensive coordination of light, temperature, water, fertilizer, gas, just considering light is not enough; we must carry out the systematic study of light on animal physiology, ecology and behavior.

As one of the environmental factors, artificial light to provide the plant with the necessary conditions for growth, but it is not sufficient and should be subject to the creature,we should primarily consider the light and plant,then taking into account the biological production yield, quality and efficiency as the goal, coupled other environmental factors, creating a suitable environment for the growth of living beings conditions.

How to promote the development of LED plant grow lighting depends on the cost and technology philosophy, as well as based on the light quality of plant biological microscopic mechanism, which determines results in how the reliability of LED plant grow lighting applications and the LED plant grow lighting applied. Definitely, light quality biology is the most important key to develop LED plant grow lighting, the countries and industry must be valued. In addition to strengthening R & D, the policy led to strengthening and promotion of biological LED plant grow lighting applications, while speeding the preparation, publication and implementation of LED plant grow lighting standards. It is necessary to close integration of research and agriculture lighting industry is to promote the development of LED plant grow lighting industry.

Agriculture semiconductor lighting R & D and industrial development must have a national platform to strengthen the docking of research institutes, universities and lighting enterprises so that promote the upgrading and promotion of technology transfer and application of agricultural lighting products and equipment and gradually establish agriculture lighting product evaluation and measurement standards, improving the science and technology contribution to modern agricultural development.

The development of the industrialization of LED plant grow lighting needs leading enterprises to increase investment in R & D and demonstration and application in the field, and actively cooperate with plant grow lighting manufacturers with core intellectual property. Agricultural lighting practitioners should encourage partners to provide total solutions and development of special LED plant grow lighting products based on crop needs and growing environment, and jointly develop and explore with growers and their suppliers. Meanwhile,they will also keep track of the progress of the project, and gives advice timely, as well as provide lighting design solutions, consultancy and application support of the project to ensure the viability and integrity of the lighting scheme.

Panasonic, Toshiba, Sharp vigorously promote the use of LED grow lighting applied in plant factory

Panasonic launched the Singapore’s first government-approved indoor vegetable plants on July 2014,which is used to cultivate the lettuce leaves and other 10 kinds of vegetables, annual output is 3.6 tons. The company will in cooperation with the Japanese restaurant chain named “big house” to offer the vegetables to the outlets in Singapore. Panasonic introduced the LED grow lighting and other equipment for the plant, and will strive to shorten the cultivation time and improve production efficiency per unit of cultivated area.

Why the Panasonic chose Singapore is because that only 8% of vegetable consumption in the country is locally produced. The company plans to make that the vegetable production of plant factory reaches by 5% of that of the country by the end of March 2017 with the help of LED grow lighting.

Toshiba announced on May 2014 that it would start heavily using the LED grow lighting and other agricultural facilities to built the plant factory named “Toshiba clean room farm Yokosuka,” in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture for the production of pesticide-free vegetables with long conservation and conduct related business. The company plans to plant lettuce leaves, spinach, turnips, etc. Japan.

According to reports, in addition to the LED grow lighting,the plant factory will use technology and experience owned by Toshiba in multiple fields. For example, the fluorescent whose wavelength of light is optimized for plant growth and the remote monitoring system used to master cultivation conditions,as well as the production management technology in the semiconductor business. The scale of production is scheduled for 3 million (by lettuce conversion). Toshiba will build a large plant factories aboard and began selling the LED grow lighting and other agricultural equipment and systems used in the factory throughout the 2014.

Sharp built the plant laboratory building factory cultivating the strawberries in Dubai to, and has started to experiment. The company introduced the electronic technology sharp specialized in for laboratory buildings, including the LED grow lighting technology and air management technology based on a plasma cluster. By using these technologies,sharp can very carefully control the  growth environment of Strawberries. The company intends to carry out a variety of empirical experiments to achieve operational objectives.

Although the strawberries made in Japan very popular in the Near East and other regions, but because of the perishable perishable, intolerant store, it is difficult to flow in overseas markets. Sharp intends to adopt the LED grow lighting in the plant factory to achieve annual local consumption of fresh strawberries.

How to choose quality household LED lamps

The home lighting products including home LED lighting especially indoor LED ceiling lightwe directly face is different from crystal lamps and commercial lighting, of which the stability of product quality and product branding are particularly important,we can refer to the four strategies when buying indoor LED ceiling light and other home LED lighting.

household LED lighting   led-ceiling-light-02

First of all, make sure which LED lights we are about to buy, is it concentrating, or astigmatism, the concentrating LED lamps are LED spotlights, the astigmatism LED lamps are indoor LED ceiling light.

Secondly, we shall pay attention to how the energy-efficient of indoor LED ceiling light and other household LED lamps is and how many  LED’s voltage and power are, the household LED lamps is generally 10W or less power.

Another is the key,we must consider the security issues. Security includes two issues, one luminescent security, the indoor LED ceiling light and other home LED lamp does not issue the harmful light, such as ultraviolet and infrared light, and 99% of the fluorescent tubes contain mercury and emit ultraviolet light, thanks to the internal material, indoor LED ceiling light and other indoor LED lamps do not emit harmful light including ultraviolet and infrared light, except for special UV LED. Second, be sure to select isolated constant current driver for the electrical safety, so that LED can work reliably and suppress surge damage to prevent glare.

Above all, we need to master how to identify the appearance. First, make sure there is no damage on the packing. Second, inspect the light and brightness, make sure whether there is glare, highlights, extra spot or not, whether the indoor LED ceiling light and other household light is soft and clear or not. Third, inspect temperature, which means that the surface temperature is stable when we actually touch for 1~2 minutes after the LED bulb is lighting up for 5~6 minutes.
