" In recent years growers are switching to energy efficient LED lights due to costs and in recent years some are using red and blue LED lights. Two reasons for this are that the energy efficient LED lights reduce the grower’s running costs and increase the plant’s productivity and improve its flavour and nutrition."

" When sunlight does reach plants on the ground, it is ‘white light’. This is a blend of every known light wavelength–from infra-red to ultraviolet–with green and yellow light as the most intense (520-590nm). Plants, however, only have receptors for red (635-700nm) and blue (450-490) light, so they are unable to process the rest of the spectrum effectively. LEDs are able to counteract these inefficiencies. LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are powerful, energy-efficient and long-lasting. They also have low heat outputs, making them ideal for indoor farming. Unlike the sun, the intensity of an LED bulb doesn’t change–midday, midnight, mid-summer and mid-winter, LEDs give plants the same consistent and directional light. LEDs can also be customized to emit only select colors, such as the red and blue light plants need to grow strong. Finally, like with all other aspects of indoor farming, LEDs give farmers something they can never have with the sun: control. Using LEDs means creating 20-hour sunlit days and brightening, dimming, or changing the color of the color of the light based on the crop.
