Horticultural Lighting & Agricultural Grow Lighting

The demand for grow lights is expected to triple over the next four years, and horticulturalist and farmers are looking for advanced technology to improve their production and reduce their operating costs.

Growth of Grow Lights

Many reports are showing the increase in commercial indoor growing and vertical farming due to factors from new Government regulations to COVID to the need for producing more at less cost without sacrificing quality. Along with this increase is the demand for quality and cost-effective grow lighting, the projected demand is expected to grow from 1.2 billion in 2021 to USD 4.9 billion by 2026 according to markets and markets. The growth is also causing many growers to investigate new advancements in horticultural and agricultural lighting. For many years, the HPS and LED type grow lights have been the mainstay of the industry.

As more information is gathered about how light affects plant growth, the technology follows with improvements in both the features and benefits the lights offer as well as reducing investment costs and overall operating costs. Studies have recently shown that plants grow best indoors when the light source can replicate natural sunlight. This is because studies show that plants grow best under full spectrum light with strong intensity. Plants not only use the light to create photosynthesis but use the light to communicate changes in the environment and stimulate enzymes to help the plant adapt to the changing conditions. Note: Have you ever seen a plant in a shaded area grow towards the sunlight, this is a simple example of how light’s wavelengths communicate to a plant to make a change due to its environment.
