Indoor plants have many benefits: space decoration, absorption of harmful substances, release of oxygen, make indoor air more fresh; The transpiration of plants can increase indoor humidity, improve the dry indoor environment in autumn and winter, and can be described as a natural humidifier.
However, due to the lack of sunlight, growing indoors is not a simple matter. Light is one of the necessary conditions for the normal growth of plants, so we often keep plants in balconies, Windows and other places that can access the sun, or often move to a place with the sun to fill the light, but these are not enough.
Plant light can solve the problem of lack of light in indoor cultivation!
At present, the mainstream plant fill light includes LED lights and high-pressure sodium lamps. In the greenhouse planting fill light, these two products have a wide range of applications. In home gardening, the more widely used is LED plant fill light, which is due to the sodium lamp fill light accompanied by a large amount of thermal radiation, can not be too close to the plant, it is easy to burn the plant. The LED fill light is a cold light source, and when it emits light, it is almost not accompanied by thermal radiation, which is more suitable for family indoor planting.
The quality of LED plant fill light on the market is uneven, and the following points should be considered when choosing:
Light intensity
Indoor planting selection of plant light is to allow it to replace the sun to provide plants with the light required for photosynthesis, the intensity of sunlight is very high, outdoor environment can reach tens of thousands of lux (lx) even in cloudy days, sunny day light intensity can reach more than 100,000 lux, so the first element considered when choosing plant light should be that it can provide enough light intensity.
In LED lighting technology, the light emitted by the LED light source can be distributed twice through the lens, and the irradiation range is controlled in a certain area, which can greatly improve the utilization rate of light and increase the light intensity. A good lens design can even ensure that equal illuminance is achieved within the irradiation range (that is, the light intensity of the irradiation plane is basically the same), which can effectively avoid problems such as uneven growth and plant deformation caused by differences in light intensity. The fill light with lens design allows the light to reach the plant rather than the rest of the room, avoiding waste and unnecessary light pollution.
Light quality
Light quality refers to the components of the spectrum. At present, there are mainly two kinds of light quality LED fill light on the market, one is the full spectrum (the viewing Angle effect is close to white light), and the other is the red and blue spectrum (the viewing Angle effect is purple). Considering the actual light filling effect, both can meet the requirements; From a health standpoint, the full spectrum is more appropriate. This is due to the high content of blue light in the red and blue spectrum, and the damage caused by stray light to the human eye is more obvious, which is the same reason why our eye protection desk lamp emphasizes the harm of no blue light.
structure
The selection of plant fill light should consider whether its structure can be applied to different indoor planting scenes. Window sills, corners, planters, desktops, etc., are common scenes for indoor planting. At present, there are lamp type, floor lamp type, lamp tube type, clip lamp type and other different structure fill light on the market, and it is necessary to make a reasonable choice according to your own planting scene. If the planting scene is relatively not fixed, try to choose the clamp-type structure, which can be applied to almost all indoor planting scenes.
