Mixed-colour LED lights have the potential to revolutionise horticulture by supplementing natural sunlight to extend growing seasons, increase crop quality and nutritional content and control the time taken for plants to become ready for harvest. Recent advances in LED technology has led to a wide range of LED luminaires becoming available, however, barriers exist to their use due to high capital expenditure, difficulties in matching lighting configuration to growth environment and the complexities of adjusting light intensity and wavelength to the conditions required to evoke desirable crop responses. In this project, two UK SMEs and one University will build, demonstrate and evaluate a state-of-the-art intelligent LED lighting system that continuously measures light spectra in crop canopies and automatically adjusts artificial lighting levels to achieve optimised lighting conditions for improved plant propagation automatically. Fertigation and environmental parameters will be used to complement lighting measurements which together with web-based data sharing and analytics, will realise a powerful tool that will enable growers to leverage the benefits of LED lighting at lower cost and with increased energy efficiency compared to current LED lighting solutions.

混色LED灯有可能通过补充自然阳光来延长生长季节，提高作物质量和营养含量，并控制植物准备收获所需的时间，从而彻底改变园艺。LED技术的最新进展已经导致广泛的LED照明器变得可用，然而，由于高资本支出、将照明配置与生长环境匹配的困难以及将光强度和波长调整到引起期望的作物响应所需的条件的复杂性，它们的使用存在障碍。在该项目中，两家英国中小企业和一所大学将建立、演示和评估一个最先进的智能LED照明系统，该系统可持续测量作物冠层的光谱，并自动调整人工照明水平，以实现优化的照明条件，从而自动改善植物繁殖。灌溉施肥和环境参数将用于补充照明测量，与基于网络的数据共享和分析一起，将实现一个强大的工具，使种植者能够以更低的成本利用LED照明的优势，并与当前的LED照明解决方案相比提高能源效率。
