Having lived and worked in a field for so many years where light is clearly the limiting factor, it is exciting to read about the emerging technology of LED plant lighting. It feels like the dawn of a another dimension of the digital age of urban greenscaping.
It is a pleasure to see this work moving forward here in my home state of New York. I believe it is particularly important that the information is coming from a consumer, albeit a commercial consumer, rather than a supplier.
As AeroFarms has discovered, there are many wild and unsubstantiated claims being made about LEDs, particularly by hydroponics suppliers. It is important research and I hope it leads to much future success for them.
Recently we announced the installation of our one-of-a-kind LED testing array. Our press release provides a good overview of the importance of this equipment, but we thought we would dive into some of the deeper technical details in our blog today.
Our first and foremost goal of this equipment is to discover the optimal lighting conditions for the growing of leafy greens. To date, especially with LEDs, there has been a lot of misinformation, especially on the Internet. Our one-of-a-kind device provides the opportunity to establish a scientific basis to optimize spectral mix, intensity, and delivery method. AeroFarms is leading urban agriculture and vertical farming beyond conceptual renderings and trial and error practices into an industry based on sound science.

There are Universities and other companies researching the best use and light colors for growing plants with LED lighting. McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada is working with Les Serres St-Laurent to develop LED lighting technology for commercial greenhouses. LumiGrow, Inc.is a provider of LED lighting solutions for commercial growers and agribusinesses.

Hmm I'm so amaze?? its quiet dark for a but I think that's fine by the way how many LED light did you put there?? I,m sure its fine even if thousand LED lights in there I'm sure its not consume a lot of power because its energy efficient lights that. thanks for sharing
