A lighting system and a method for improving growth conditions for plants

A lighting system is for providing photosynthetically stimulating artificial light to a specified target area where such artificial light is needed. The lighting system has at least one luminaire with a light source. The luminaire emits photosynthetically stimulating light at a narrow beam angle of...

More Information
Summary:A lighting system is for providing photosynthetically stimulating artificial light to a specified target area where such artificial light is needed. The lighting system has at least one luminaire with a light source. The luminaire emits photosynthetically stimulating light at a narrow beam angle of less than and including 20° (FWHM). The lighting system has means for positioning the at least one luminaire at a distance of minimum 20 m from the specified target area measured in a light beam direction, and the luminaire is adapted to illuminate the specified target area with a minimum photosynthetic photon flux density of 140 μmol/s/m2. A method is for improving the growth conditions for plants in need of light at a specified target area by exposing the plants to a photosynthetically artificial light from a light source.
