As is known, sunlight is necessary for normal growth and development of plants. When it is not enough the plants get sick and wilt, and the harvest and speech can not go. Therefore, in greenhouses, when growing plants under conditions of a shortened daylight, the question of correct lighting is especially relevant, because plants need not just light, but the light of a certain part of the spectrum. To solve a problem of correct illumination for greenhouses special lamps for greenhouses , for example, light-emitting diode fixtures can. We will talk about the peculiarities of LED lighting for greenhouses today.
LED phytolamps for greenhouses - pros and cons
What is so good about LED lighting for greenhouses?
- First, they consume quite a bit of electrical energy , which in the light of the current high cost of energy resources is a significant plus. In addition, they can work even at low voltage levels, which is especially important for rural residents.
- Secondly, they allow to arrange lighting in the greenhouse in such a way that the plants receive the rays of the spectrum they need . As is known, ultraviolet and infrared rays are detrimental to plants, making them weak and painful. But the rays of blue and red spectra, on the contrary, promote their active growth, the fastest formation of the ovary and the ripening of the fruit. LED lamps for greenhouses are so good that they produce rays only in the useful part of the spectrum for the plants, and therefore their use leads to an increase in yield.
- Thirdly, LED lighting fixtures practically do not heat up during operation, and therefore do not affect the temperature values in the greenhouse and they can be placed at any distance from the plants. This allows
to save space in the greenhouse, and somewhat facilitates the work of the maintenance staff, because he does not have to adjust the temperature in the greenhouse as the lamps are heated, open the greenhouse for ventilation, etc. Plants grown under conditions of constant temperature and without drafts are deprived of the possibility of getting sick. - Fourthly, LED lamps are produced in various forms , for example, in the form of a ribbon, which makes it possible to implement many solutions for a more compact placement in a greenhouse of plants. Even in previously poorly lit corners of the greenhouse, you can now place plants without fear that they will not have enough light.
