5.3 Lighting Options
The chamber can be equipped with either fluorescent of LED fixtures. The fixtures are
compatible with either type of lamp.
5.3.1 Fluorescent Lighting
The standard lighting configuration consists of fluorescent lamps to provide a balanced
spectrum for plant growth. The fluorescent tubes are individually replaceable, as required.
5.3.2 LED Lighting
– LED Option
LED lighting offers significant advantages over the fluorescent lighting packages, including:
•
Decreased wattage consumption, which yields significant energy savings.
•
Reduced overall maintenance costs due to the longer life of LEDs.
•
Reduced heat production during operation, which reduces demand on the cooling
system and allows the light to be closer to the plants.
•
Reduced sensitivity to temperature variations.
Warning: Burn hazard
Potential injury could result from contact with the hot light canopies or lamps.
The lamp ends near the sockets produce enough heat to cause skin burns.
Do not touch the lamps while in operation.
Allow the lamps to cool before changing burned out tubes.
