Horticulture Lighting

Photosynthesis,

Plant growth depends on spectrum and photon flux, not on brightness alone. This page introduces general principles of horticultural lighting; Product line documents pending. For horticulture product information, please contact us directly.

Understanding PAR

The following introduces general photobiology principles — not our product specifications.

Plants mainly use visible light between 400 and 700 nm for photosynthesis — this band is called Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR). Blue light around 450 nm and red light around 660 nm form the two major chlorophyll absorption peaks, which is precisely the basis of horticultural lighting design.

Spectral curves are illustrative; actual parameters are subject to the formal product datasheet.

PPF · Photosynthetic Photon Flux

Total photons in the 400–700 nm range emitted per second, in μmol/s. It defines the light’s photon output capability.

PPE · Photon Efficacy

Photons produced per joule of electricity consumed, in μmol/J. The core metric for luminaire efficacy.

PPFD · Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density

Photons received per unit area per second, in μmol/m²·s. It describes how much light the plant actually receives.

SPD · Spectral Power Distribution

Relative energy distribution across wavelengths. By adjusting SPD, the spectral mix can be optimised for different crops and growth stages.
