The application of LED (light-emitting diode) materials has helped the progress of human society take a big step. As the LED market becomes more and more mature, the application fields are no longer just living lighting, signal indicators, etc., and a series of peripherals have been derived from the trend. Product, LED plant light is one of them.
Plant lamps are nothing new. When incandescent lamps were popular, the idea of plant supplementary light had already sprouted. Sodium lamps, halogen lamps and fluorescent lamps had also flourished in the field of plant lighting, and then developed into LED plant lamps. Compared with traditional plant lights, the LED plant growth lighting effect has indeed improved a lot, and it has also played a very important role in the development of ecological agriculture.
Is the seemingly prosperous plant lighting industry a blessing or a curse?
In an environment where the number of agricultural workers in the world continues to decrease, mankind must find ways to improve production efficiency in order to survive. U.S. agricultural workers account for less than 2% of the nation’s population. Japan has almost no arable land available, and almost all food sources are imported. In recent years, my country’s non-agricultural development has been very rapid, and the area of arable land has also dropped significantly year by year. The population is still rising.
LED plant lights have subverted the traditional concept of "everything grows by the sun" and realized the indoor cultivation of green plants. The United States, Japan, the Netherlands and other countries have established large-scale plant factories. Countries around the world are also stepping up efforts in the fields of plant factories and vertical agriculture. Construction, according to this development trend, perhaps in the next 20 years or so, words such as "farmland" and "cornfield" will disappear, replaced by plant factories, ecological circle X, and so on.
LED plant lights promote the rapid development of urban ecological agriculture!
Humans do not have to continue the millennia of hard work of "facing the loess and back to the sky". In the high-rise buildings, plant computers control the operation of the entire plant ecosystem, and all labor is undertaken by robots. Dreaming of this kind of scene, so beautiful. However, there are always unpredictable disasters hidden behind the often too beautiful existence.
The collective name of all people is human. I think that the common goal of human beings is not that everyone is rich enough to be an enemy of the country, nor is everyone able to live forever, but-there will be a living being called human beings after hundreds of millions of years.
Judging from the current situation, LED plant lights have helped the rapid development of agriculture and the quality of human diet has been improved, but industrial pollution has continued to increase. Recalling thousands of years ago, when the sunrise was made, and the sunset was resting, there was no reinforced concrete and no white garbage. Now look at the muddy river water, the hazy air, and his own sub-healthy system. Looking to the future:…………
LED plant lights are relatively green, but there is potential for pollution!
The development of plant factories and urban agriculture has at least two hidden dangers, one is energy consumption, and the other is waste generation.
Energy consumption mainly refers to electrical energy. The power consumption of a plant factory is not only lighting, but also the power consumption of LED plant lights, plant lighting, and mechanical equipment. Researchers from the Kansas State Land Research Institute believe that if you want to use plant factories to replace the current annual wheat production in the United States, the electricity consumption is only 8 times the annual power generation of all power stations in the United States. Just imagine, if plant factories are spread all over the world, it is an unimaginable but very likely scene.
The development of industry will inevitably be more or less accompanied by the generation of waste. How powerful equipment will be scrapped one day, how reliable a building will collapse, and the universal LED plant light will fail to light up one day. When all this cannot be used by mankind, it will inevitably be abandoned by mankind. Day after day, year after year, there will eventually be a scene where the earth does not grow in the sci-fi anime movie "Robot Story".
If that day comes and we have all disappeared for a long time, they may have disappeared too. Will the emergence and development of LED plant growth lights carry such a heavy burden as the chief culprit of the destruction of the earth? Of course not, it is just based on the needs of mankind, to give mankind an icing on the cake, the favor!
