Introduction Of Plant Growth Light

The plant growth lamp is an artificial light source, usually an electric light source, designed to stimulate plant growth by emitting an electromagnetic spectrum suitable for photosynthesis. Plant lights are used in applications that do not have natural light or require supplementary light. For example: in winter, when the possible daylight time may not be enough to achieve the desired plant growth, lights are used to extend the time the plants receive light. If the plants do not get enough light, they will grow in length.

The growing lights either try to provide a spectrum similar to the sun, or provide a spectrum or spectrum that is more suitable for the needs of the cultivated plants. Simulate outdoor conditions from different colors, temperature and spectral output of the growth lamp, and change the lumen output (intensity) of the lamp. Depending on the type of plant to be cultivated, the cultivation stage (such as the germination/vegetative period or the flowering period/fruiting period) and the photoperiod required by the plant, the specific range of the spectrum, the luminous efficiency and the color temperature are all desirable for the specific plant and time period.

In 1868, Russian botanist Andrei Famintsyn was the first person to use artificial light for plant growth and research.
