What are LED Lights?
LED è l'acronimo di Light-Emitting Diode. Cos'è un diodo? Un diodo è un dispositivo elettrico o un componente con due elettrodi che supporta il flusso di elettricità. La corrente viaggia in una direzione, entra in un anodo (+) e fuoriesce da un catodo (-). Una luce a LED è un dispositivo che emette luce quando passa una corrente elettrica.

Come vengono utilizzate le luci a LED?
LED lighting is considered the future of light because of its efficiency, size, and longevity. The applications for LEDs are varied. They can be found in traffic signals, advertisements, planes, and grow lights. Everyday new technological innovations are finding ways to implement LED lighting because of these unique advantages

Come le piante usano la luce
Light is vital to all plants because it allows for the facilitation of photosynthesis, a process that converts light, oxygen, and water into carbohydrates (a form of energy). Quality of light can impact the growth, color, nutrition, and even the taste of plants!

Why Use Colored Light With Plants?
Electromagnetic radiation is a form of light energy that travels in wavelengths. The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of these wavelengths varying in size. The human eye can only detect wavelengths ranging from 400-700nm. This is known as visible light, while other portions of the spectrum have wavelengths too large or too small and energetic for human perception - but not for plants!
