Using Plant Growth Lamps to Supplement Insufficient Light for Plant Cultivation


Can growing lights be used to compensate for insufficient light when planting plants? Yes! First of all, we know that the natural light for plants mainly comes from the sun. However, when there is insufficient sunlight, it will cause the plants to grow excessively tall, fade in color, thin leaves, faded flowers, and have a shorter lifespan. At this time, artificial light sources are needed to supplement the light. Take tomatoes as an example. Tomatoes need strong light to grow healthily. If there is insufficient light, they cannot grow well. Therefore, the emergence of growing lights can indeed compensate for the lack of sunlight to a certain extent.


LED growing light improves the efficiency of plant photosynthesis


Plants need light mainly for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis can not only produce oxygen but also accumulate large amounts of nutrients to help plant growth. Generally, ordinary sunlight can meet the needs of plant photosynthesis. However, the amount of sunlight required by different plants is different. But the fact that all plants need light is certain. Now, LED growing lights can be customized according to the special plant spectrum, providing plants with sunlight comparable to that of the sun, greatly improving the efficiency of plant photosynthesis, and discarding useless light. It provides an ideal light environment for plant photosynthesis and promotes the growth of plants in different stages in response to different environments.


The use of LED growing lights


The principle of plant lighting is mainly to imitate the full-spectrum light of the sun. Now the most common way to do this is with LED growing lights. The advantages are low wattage, low power consumption, and practicality in homes. When buying these lights, don't be greedy for cheap prices. Cheap lights are mostly inferior and cannot achieve real light supplementation effects. They not only consume electricity but also do not play an actual role. It is still more reassuring to trust big brands. Light intensity affects plant growth morphology, such as yellowing phenomenon, plant development flowering period, and weak light intensity, which will directly cause the fruit to result, thereby affecting fruit quality.


For sun-loving plants, their demand for light is relatively high because these positive plants can only grow robustly in strong light environments and develop poorly under shade and weak light conditions. For example, common plant species such as fir, poplar, willow, and dandelion require full light, and their photosynthesis and metabolism rates are higher. They can only grow well in places with good lighting conditions.


Supreme LED growing lights are manufacturers that have produced plant lights earlier. They have adopted dedicated plant lighting schemes based on plant growth characteristics. Their spectrum is controllable, and their advantages such as low heat generation from cold light sources have become the main solution for growing lights for vertical farms and indoor greenhouses in recent years. They can be used for planting in farms with high altitude, poor natural light conditions, and high-density environments to cultivate plants with a stable and reliable artificial light environment for growth.
