Economic Analysis Of Greenhouse Lighting: Light Emitting Diodes Vs. Intensity Discharge Fixtures, Jacob A. Nelson, Bruce Bugbee Jun 2014

Economic Analysis Of Greenhouse Lighting: Light Emitting Diodes Vs. Intensity Discharge Fixtures, Jacob A. Nelson, Bruce Bugbee

Plants, Soils, and Climate Faculty Publications

Lighting technologies for plant growth are improving rapidly, providing numerous options for supplemental lighting in greenhouses. Here we report the photosynthetic (400-700 nm) photon efficiency and photon distribution pattern of two double-ended HPS fixtures, five mogul-base HPS fixtures, ten LED fixtures, three ceramic metal halide fixtures, and two fluorescent fixtures. The two most efficient LED and the two most efficient double-ended HPS fixtures had nearly identical efficiencies at 1.66 to 1.70 micromoles per joule.
