How spectral sensors enable LED lighting systems to increase crop yields in vertical farming and greenhouses
Traditionally, agricultural settings have used high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps as an artificial light source. LED manufacturers are introducing lighting with better and richer spectral characteristics that offer low power consumption, radiate little heat and operate over a longer span. This article discusses how sensor enable these LED solutions and the benefits of LED versus HPS.
