Microgreen
Boost the Growth with Actilum LED Lighting
Due to their high nutritional value, the cultivation of microgreens has gained popularity in recent years. These microgreens are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, particularly vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotenes. Besides their common use in cooking, microgreens are also processed into powders, capsules, liquid extracts, and fortified food products.
“These small sprouts, harvested in their early stages of development, require advanced light spectrum conditions to achieve the mentioned uses.”
This is where Actilum’s LED luminaires and Luxpanel panels come into play, designed with specific spectra for horticultural applications.
“At Actilum, we have dedicated several years to the research and development of lighting solutions for cultivation. This experience has allowed us to design LED combinations for the production of LED strips, Luxpanel panels, and complete bars that offer an optimized light spectrum for growing microgreens.”
The unique combination of lights not only promotes the growth of green leaves and edible flowers but is also ideal for a wide variety of ornamental plants.
The light spectrum provided by our LED luminaires is carefully calibrated to meet the specific needs of plants in their initial stages. This application promotes efficient photosynthesis, ensuring that the microgreens receive the exact amount of light they need to develop vibrant colors, intense flavors, and high nutrient content.
Additionally, our lighting solutions guarantee homogeneity in production, which is extremely important for maintaining a continuous quality standard, enabling automation through Dimming to OFF, thereby reducing energy consumption.
This is an example of one of our spectra, showing the distribution of light intensity as a function of wavelength, including the cultivation of microgreens.
Let’s analyze it in detail:
Peak in the Blue Region (around 450 nm): Blue light is fundamental for photosynthesis as it helps promote vegetative growth. This peak indicates that Actilum luminaires are designed to provide sufficient blue light to stimulate robust growth in microgreens.
Peak in the Red Region (around 650-700 nm): Red light is essential for flowering and fruit development, but in the case of microgreens, it is also important for photosynthesis and overall growth. This peak ensures that the plants receive the necessary red light to complement the effect of blue light.
Infrared Light (700-800 nm): The spectrum in the range of 700 nm to 800 nm, known as infrared light, significantly influences the development of microgreens. Infrared light helps promote controlled elongation of their stems. This is essential to ensure they reach an adequate height for harvest, facilitating better light exposure and optimizing their development. Infrared light also contributes to the regulation of other growth processes, improving the quality and uniformity of the microgreens, which is important for their commercialization and consumption.
Intermediate Region (500-600 nm): Although green and yellow light are not as effective in photosynthesis as blue and red light, they are important for balanced lighting and ensuring that plants grow uniformly. This spectrum shows a balanced distribution in this region, contributing to homogeneous growth.
Color Temperature (5300K): The color temperature of 5300K falls within the range of cool white light, which is beneficial for plant growth as it simulates natural daylight.
Rapid and Healthy Growth: Our luminaires are designed to stimulate rapid and healthy growth of microgreens, ensuring a faster and more abundant harvest.
Energy Efficiency: Actilum LED luminaires are highly efficient in terms of energy consumption, leading to significant long-term production cost savings.
Durability and Reliability: Our products are made from high-quality materials that ensure a long lifespan and consistent performance, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Application Flexibility: Whether you are growing in a small space or a large commercial facility, our lighting solutions can adapt to your specific needs, providing the necessary intensity and light spectrum at each stage of growth.
