Redden the lettuce with LED Ultraviolet

Lattuga arrossata con i LED Ultravioletti An experiment has shown that exposure of lettuce to ultraviolet LED increases the dark pigments of the plant making it more red and rich in antioxidants, extremely beneficial to health.

The research was presented by Steven Britz of the "U.S. Department of Agriculture in Beltsville" in 2009 during the "Conference on Lasers and Electro Optics / International Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO / IQEC)" held from May 31 to June 5, 2009 at Baltimore Convention Center.

LEDs to grow plants: low power consumption and high efficiency

LED rossi e blu ad alta luminosità Use LED lights for growing plants when sunlight is not available?
This lighting technology can be very advantageous for terrariums: efficient, low energy consumption, little heat and last much.

How do they work?
Each plant pigment absorbs certain colors of light better than others. Chlorophyll absorbs red light very well and the blue, but not the green as the plants use chlorophyll for photosynthesis, the process is more efficient with red and blue light than with the equivalent of green light.
