Horticulture lighting is the use of artificial lighting fixtures to stimulate plant development when natural light is unavailable.Horticulture LEDs are solid-state light sources that emit photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in the 400-700 nanometer (nm) range to induce photosynthesis in plants.
LEDs may also be utilised for production lighting in controlled situations, as well as supplementary and photoperiod illumination in greenhouses, however these applications are still in the works. Controlling spectral quality is also important for plant display lighting.
The T5 & T8 LED Tube Light is the most popular variety of grow light. The colour temperature of the light we see in daytime, or around 6,500 Kelvin, is where the bulb is most frequently found. Historically, plants would receive this essential wavelength from blue lighting.
The Saudi Arabia horticulture LED lighting market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
A Laser-Based Illumination Technology for Indoor Horticulture Applications.Laser-based technology to significantly enhance the dynamics and economics of the agri-food industry.Activities related to horticulture primarily rely on two essential resources: light and water.
Technologies for artificial illumination are especially helpful in places with little sunshine and precipitation. More than 95% of water in desert locations like Saudi Arabia and the Middle East can evaporate away.Due to the lack of water in these areas, it is sometimes required to grow plants in an enclosed space, which can reduce water use by up to 90%.
The standard fluorescent or LED technologies are replaced with the laser-based system, which uses less energy and doesn’t need continuous maintenance checking. Potentially replacing hundreds of LED lights and fluorescent light tubes with a single laser source.
In agricultural applications, the technique makes use of a laser-module that may be deliberately pointed at numerous rows of plants or crops.
Arabidopsis thaliana model plants have verified the technology and demonstrated favourable growth as compared to growth under white fluorescent light.
The laser has a high power and may be adjusted to emit light with the appropriate intensity for different crops and plants. In a single-tier or multi-tier plant cultivation configuration, the laser panels and optics are placed outside the horticulture chamber and directed through access ports to the growing chambers.
Compared to conventional fluorescent technologies, which need to be changed every 4,400 hours or so, this new technology can endure up to 20,000 hours.
At a higher wattage, it produces more light across a wider area. Additionally, it doesn’t experience efficiency droop, which is a problem with LED technology.
The scalable technique is less expensive to maintain than present technologies since light may be produced and distributed remotely.
The technique is space and water-saving, uses little energy, and doesn’t need cooling. Additionally, it has the ability to switch on and off in a split second to provide the precise quantity of light needed for optimal photosynthesis.
