Full-Spectrum “White” LEDs

While in a greenhouse, the outdoor sunlight will balance out the “pink or purple” light emitted from LEDs, the same spectrum in a sole-source, indoor application delivers a limited spectrum of light to the crop and can be unpleasant to work under. Therefore, many indoor growers have shifted away from narrow spectrum LEDs, to “white” broad spectrum LEDs.

Broad spectrum LEDs have a lower efficacy than red/blue LEDs due to conversion, energy, and optical losses within the phosphor conversion process. However, since in indoor applications where the luminaires are the sole source of light, broad spectrum LED luminaires are far better than red/blue since they emit a wide range of wavelengths for your crop throughout the different growth stages. This is important because as we do more research, we are discovering that wavelengths such as green, which were previously thought of as not very useful, are proving to be important in photosynthesis and certain morphological responses. Additionally, many full broad-spectrum luminaires can also emit energy in the far-red region, which can help promote stem extension and leaf expansion.
