Transcript of Artificial Light Source for Home Plants

  • 1. Executive summary-artificial lightning for house plants.1. Indoor grown pot plants need certain amount of sun light in order toperform photosynthesis and grow normally. The minimal light streamintensity needed is 100-150 Micro-Einstein /m2, equivalent to theoutside sun-light intensity in a very cloudy day. 2. The plants can use only the light in the visible spectrum (PAR) inwave-length between 400-750 nanometer. The usual internalartificial light in homes is not effective to plants. So today thegrowing of plants in the interior is limited to balconies, near windowsand external hanging containers. 3. The existing solutions today are expensive and energy consuming inthe form of sodium, and methyl aldehyde lamps, normally 200 wattsor more, and creating unpleasant heat. 4. Experiments conducted in Wekah Ltd. since 2001 show that plantscan grow successfully, when given the right spectrum and intensityclose to the plants canopy and focused on the plant itself. The firstexperiments were conducted with fluorescent bulbs 24 watts, 15 cm.from the canopy. New Led light technologies permit even lowerconsumption of energy, and working in the specific range of red andblue lights only. 5. The project developed by Wekah Technologies Ltd. is to design anddevelop an efficient lightening device with low energy consumption,to create a complete artificial sun substitute for single or a group ofpot plants, adjustable and decorative, to permit professional plantgrowing inside the dark corners and spaces of homes. Easy to use andpractical. 6. Ecological improvement of the interior and co2 emissions reducingplant population in places not possible to grow in the past. P.O.B. 25348 , HAIFA 31253, ISRAEL.
