Nowadays, when new high-tech greenhouses are designed and built around the world, LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights are often chosen as greenhouse lighting due to their long-term cost benefits and advantages for plant growth.

Existing greenhouses are gradually transitioning from High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) lights to LED lights when financial means become available as LED lights significantly use less energy and have a longer lifetime.

Installing LED lamps in new high-tech and mid-tech greenhouses has become a dominant trend. It is expected this will continue in 2024 and the following years

Indoor vertical farms operate primarily with LED lighting systems, as they are the most energy efficient type of plant lamp.

This choice is particularly essential in vertical farms where plants are typically grown above each other. Keeping the heat emitted by the lamps as low as possible is crucial to prevent leaf burn and other plant damages.

Reducing energy usage by lights in a vertical farming is important for the existence of the farm, as it has been estimated that lights accounts for 70-80% of the electricity usage of a vertical farm. Using the right lights to cut back the energy usage is key..

Using efficient, dynamic LED lights, with the ability to easily adjust the light spectrum and change wavelengths throughout the growing season, will become dominant in the vertical farming sector.
