vertical farm

One of the most energy consuming items for commercial vertical farms is lighting, as artificial lighting is one of the key factors for plant growth. In it is impossible to grow vegetables without and LED grow lights provided the needed light intensity and spectrum. One should also take into consideration heat emission. For good the growers need to provide plants with optimal microclimate. Only LED lighting is suitable for vertical farms, as other light sources are less efficient, or inefficient at all.

A quick growth of the plant and good harvest in a greenhouse requires not only water and soil. A proper level of light is also very important. Very often growers make a serious mistake installing many HPS lamps and putting them close to the plants. HPS lamps emit a lot of heat. Moreover, the lamp located close to the plant can burn leaves. LED grow lighting is one of the most promising types of supplemental lighting for greenhouses, so let’s look at this in more details as this lamps have a lot of advantages in comparison with other types of lamps and also because it is the new stage of development of horticultural lighting. A shortage of light is a serious issue in the winter season, when daylight is short and when the sunlight is absent or is not enough for efficient growing. Vertical farms or - more widespread in Europe - vertical farm containers are good examples of such farms. But first things first.
