Z-Lum light bars can be used to lengthen the daylight in greenhouses with natural light.
Their slim profile allows for these lights to be used as supplemental light in a greenhouse or home window without blocking significant amounts of sunlight.
Light bars may be mounted on greenhouse framing or suspended above plant beds.
Placing lights vertically as well as above will provide light from all directions to keep taller plants growing compactly.
The strong emphasis on red and blue light is an ideal supplement to natural sunlight. Plants with abundant natural carotenoids such as red leaf lettuce will develop deep red colors, enhancing attractiveness and nutritional value.
The short wavelength blue LEDs provide some of the benefits of UV light such as reduction of fungal growth that is so often a problem in greenhouses.
For in-home supplemental grow light, the Z-Lum white lights may be the choice. They are significantly more intense than standard LED home lighting fixtures. Careful positioning may be needed to avoid looking directly into the lights.
