Why are your plants ineffective in supplementing light?
① Illumination distance
In fact, the irradiation distance also determines the intensity of the light, and it is not enough to just 'shine'. In the instructions for using a general plant fill light, reference suggestions for the irradiation distance will be provided, which can be adjusted according to the PPFD value of one's own plant.
② Focus the light, not scatter it
Although artificial light can simulate the solar spectrum, it cannot completely replace the intensity of sunlight. Therefore, focusing limited light on plants can reduce the loss of light and electricity, and achieve the desired effect faster. This is why the same wattage and time have different effects.
To determine whether the light is focused, one can observe whether the light has clear edges. Currently, configuring a "spotlight lens" is an effective optical technology for focusing light, achieving the goal of improving the photon flux density, light intensity, and uniformity of PPFD, thereby meeting the photosynthetic needs of plants more quickly.
③ 'Full spectrum' is not universal
Plant fill lights are mainly divided into full spectrum and red blue spectrum, and many people mistakenly believe that they are the same as the full spectrum desk lamps and full spectrum ceiling lights they buy at home.
Although they are named the same, the full spectrum is not a fixed spectrum. For example, full spectrum plant lamps have more green energy, with a peak wavelength of 660nm for red light, while ordinary white light lamps have a peak wavelength of around 610nm for red light, which is not suitable for plant growth.
④ Insufficient internal strength and severe decline
Anyone who has used a plant fill light knows that the fill light lasts for a long time, generates a lot of heat, and the LED chip is more prone to aging, gradually becoming unlit. This is known as light decay, a decrease in PPFD value, a decrease in plant photosynthesis efficiency, and the effect and lifespan are only "short-lived".
When choosing lights, we can pay more attention to heat dissipation. If we have patented heat dissipation technology, it will be more secure.
⑤ Brain supplement merchant promotion
For example, when a merchant promotes that a 10 watt fill light is equivalent to a 100 watt incandescent light, it may be among the best among plant fill lights of the same power. However, do not think that 10 watts can really replace the effect of 100 watts, as it cannot achieve the expected effect.
