LED Lights Leading The Way
It’s not often one thinks of a project in which farmers and electricians can work together to change the world, but it’s happening right now. Where we once used to grow plants outdoors only, we’ve come, over out development as a species, to find ways to better control the growing process. Greenhouses, which still used natural light, had many advantages, but with the electronic age we came to use lights to create a whole new era of indoor crops. Now it seems LEDs are leading the way in this technology, as recent advances have made it possible for this efficient light source to carry their weight with LED-only growth plants. The LEDs still use less energy and don’t have to worry about over heating as compared to older bulbs, which means the possibilities for dependable crop growth- that doesn’t have to worry about bad weather ruining whole crops or outside disease, is becoming an affordable reality. Although not all crops can be grown in this method, it certainly lightens the load on the demand for more and more food in our ever expanding populace.
