2025 Horticulture Lighting Industry And Ledestar Solution

Horticulture Lighting Industry Background

The emergence of horticulture lighting stems from changes in agricultural cultivation models. This is driven by limited land resources and a continuously growing global population. Countries with limited land area started developing horticulture lighting earlier, such as Japan and the Netherlands, which are relatively more mature in this field.

With continuous technological progress, horticulture lighting has also evolved. It began with natural light, then progressed to greenhouse supplemental lighting, including methods like HID, and has now entered the LED era. Overall, fluorescent lamps and HID had lower initial investment costs, leading to their widespread adoption. Although LEDs offer advantages like higher luminous efficacy, greater reliability, and easier usability when applied to horticulture lighting, their persistently high prices have resulted in a low penetration rate of LED in the horticulture lighting market.

So, under the backdrop of the current integration of agriculture and the lighting industry, how can we effectively kickstart the LED horticulture lighting market? This is undoubtedly a key question deeply considered by numerous practitioners and researchers.

According to existing solutions, comprehensively and large-scale application of LED lighting technology in plant cultivation still faces significant difficulties. Among these, the most prominent and crucial issue is price. Currently, the relatively high cost of LED lighting products deters many growers from adopting this new technology. In the limited areas where LED horticulture lighting is already applied, most are closely tied to specific high-value-added plants. These specific high-value-added plants include rare medicinal herbs or high-quality ornamental flowers, for example. In cultivation applications for these plants, the initial investment cost may be less of a concern. This is because the profit returns from successfully growing such high-value-added plants are considerable. Their primary concerns are heat output (as excessive heat can adversely affect or even damage the plant growth environment), the ability for close-proximity irradiation (as suitable close-range lighting allows plants to absorb light more fully), and specific spectral supplementation (as different plants have varying spectral needs at different growth stages, requiring precise spectral supplementation to meet their growth requirements).

Plant Spectral Requirements

Advantage of Horticulture LED

In the long term, agricultural cultivation will inevitably focus on the vegetables and even other staple food crops most essential for daily life. After all, ensuring a stable supply of food and vegetables is a major issue concerning national welfare and people's livelihoods. To achieve widespread adoption of LED horticulture lighting technology in large-scale, fundamental crop cultivation, costs must be reduced. Only when costs come down will more growers be willing to adopt this advanced lighting technology, truly propelling the prosperous development of the LED horticulture lighting market. Considering this issue, after in-depth research and repeated experimentation, we propose an innovative solution. This solution is based on full-spectrum, i.e., cost-effective white light products, which offer advantages like broad coverage and good stability. Supplementing this base with specific narrow-spectrum light is like creating a custom "light recipe" for the plants – providing precisely what they need to kickstart the market.

Furthermore, according to Ledestar's internal experimental results, many lettuce varieties show excellent growth under full-spectrum lighting. Specifically, they achieve greater weight (a significant increase compared to lettuce grown under traditional lighting), higher nutritional content (more vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients), and better taste (more tender, juicy, fresh, and sweet). This fully demonstrates the significant advantages and promising application prospects of our proposed solution combining full-spectrum with specific narrow-spectrum lighting.
