A new dynamic precision LED-lighting system for hydro- and aquaponic indoor farming

Project description

Let the artificial light shine in!

Modern greenhouses and indoor farms usually need to irradiate crops with artificial light because there is not enough sunlight. High-intensity discharge luminaires like metal halide or sodium vapour lamps are widely used and considered a cost-efficient solution. In this context, the EU-funded flexiLED project will bring to market a dynamic precision lighting solution for large-scale greenhouses and indoor, urban farms. This new technology can irradiate each crop with precisely the spectral composition that is best for its light-induced development (photomorphogenesis) at any given moment from germination until harvest. The new LED luminaire includes diodes with eight different peak wavelengths and an additional broad-spectrum white light.
