Summary of LED grow lights in 2018

With the continuous development of modern agriculture, the demand and energy consumption of agricultural lighting is constantly expanding, and new challenges are also raised for traditional lighting technology. As a new generation of the light source, in addition to the characteristics of energy saving and environmental protection, LED has the advantages of the customizable spectrum, high color purity, and rich light color compared with fluorescent lamps or high-pressure sodium lamps.

LED technology has lower power consumption and can save a lot of energy costs compared with traditional plant lighting technology. LED grow lighting solutions can help growers increase yield by 25% and energy costs by 50%. The LED lights with a special spectrum not only optimizes the yield and growth time but also enhances the nutrients contained in the crop and improves its taste and flavor.

It can be seen that LED plant lighting can be designed into various types of light sources according to different crops, precisely controlling the growth of the plants.

With the continuous improvement of LED plant lighting technology, its application fields will become more and more extensive, including skyscraper tops, vertical farms, greenhouse canopies, homes, shopping malls, and even abandoned containers. According to the data of the Industry Research Institute, the global LED plant lighting market in 2018 is 190 million US dollars, with a growth rate of 26.7%.

According to the estimation of the scale of China's existing agricultural industry, the demand for agricultural LED lighting and its control equipment will reach several billion yuan in the next five years. The LED grow lights for plant factories and greenhouse will be the fastest growing LED lighting field with high technical content. It can be seen that with the increase in the penetration rate of global LED application agricultural lighting, the future market prospect is broad.
