Do plant fill lights work? some! However, most people do not know how to choose the right plant fill light. First of all, we must understand what is a plant fill light and what is its function? What are the common plant fill lights?
1. What is a plant fill light?
Plant lights have high requirements on the CRI, close to sunlight, which is the so-called full spectrum, and different plants use different spectrums. At present, in agricultural production, especially in facility cultivation, supplementary light cultivation has been paid more and more attention. By supplementing light to achieve off-season cultivation, supplementing light to improve yield and quality, supplementing light to break dormancy, and supplementing light to achieve a a special breeding effect. In the process of rapid plant propagation, the use of supplementary light is more efficient, because it is produced in a highly intensive environment, which is better than the supplementary light efficiency in cultivation. Even if it increases the cost, it is still very cost-effective. Therefore, supplementary light has become an indispensable agricultural technical measure in the rapid planting of seedlings. In general, plant fill light is more suitable for greenhouse and factory planting.
2. What is the function of plant fill light?
(1). Make up for the lack of natural light intensity. (2). Make up for the lack of natural light time. Secondly, you have to be clear, how much light and what is the spectrum of the plants you plant normally need? How long is the light time. How to figure it out? For example, the succulents from the European origin, and the lighting time of each season in the local area of origin. These can be found. All you have to do is provide these plants with the same light intensity and time in your home as in their native place. How many hours can be calculated. The fill light can be used during the day when the sun is shining. Supplementary light during the day when sunlight is not available, or on cloudy and rainy days. Can also be used at night. Supplementary lighting. If it is a sun-fast plant, you can give more. In fact, if there is no need for viewing, it is better to supplement the plant lights during the day according to the lighting time of the plant’s native place. Combined with seasonality, light adjustment can be made. For example, the native place has sufficient sunlight, 12 hours a day. You can set it up during the day when there is natural light, and then supplement the plant lights at the same time. This way you don’t need very much power. The photometric value can be measured with a photometer. It is sufficient to match the light conditions of the growing place.
