APPLICATIONS
Now you can even grow vine-ripe tomatoes indoors, all year long with high intensity garden lighting!
Has weather ever dampened your gardening enthusiasm? Too hot or too cold? Too humid or too dry? Too much rain, or not enough?
Have you ever wished or imagined being able to garden in the air-conditioned comfort of your home?
Advancements in artificial lighting technologies over the past decade have introduced a whole new generation of plant growing lights for the indoor seed starter, gardener, and houseplants enthusiast.
General Lighting Requirements For Plants
To determine how much light a plant will require, consider where and how it grows best in its natural environment. Most vegetables grow best in full sunlight, which means much light as possible must be supplied.
Plants NEED Darkness
Plants need dark periods. Periods of light (called photo-periods) and dark periods have effects on plant maturity. Although many plants can grow under continuous lighting, nearly all plants require a dark period each day for normal growth.
Color Temperature
In scientific terms, Kelvin temperature is a measure of the color of a light source relative to a black body at a particular temperature expressed in degrees Kelvin (°K).
Color Rendering Index (CRI)
The Color Rendering Index (CRI) is a rating scale for light sources. Lamps from 0 to 100 indicate how accurately colors can be perceived under a given light source.
