Application of LEDs for plant lighting …
• … actually spun out of NASA-sponsored space life-support programs > 25 years ago.
• … was in response to the enormous energy requirements to grow food crops in space using traditional light sources.
• … was in effort to test for efficiency of selected narrow-band light sources vs. traditional broad-band sources.
• … was in attempt to overcome productivity problems with dense crop stands/leaf canopies.

Need an intracanopy lighting source…
•… that is not massive or space-consuming
•… that is cool enough for leaf contact
•… that provides adequate light level
•… that provides appropriate-wavelength light
![Page 24: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
LEDs a Solution to the Crop-Lighting Dilemma?• Solid state
• Low volume & mass
• Long lifespan: 5 x 104 h (electronics) to 105 h (diodes) if heat sinked / not overdriven
• Waveband selectable
• Operate at low-voltage DC
• Emitter surfaces relatively cool
• Potential for placement near plant tissues negates the inverse square law (I d-2)
![Page 25: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The importance of actively heat sinking high-output LEDs
• Critical for performance and lifespan• Forced air for dense clusters of LEDs ≥ I watt
• Recirculate cooling water for very high output/densities
• Makes light-emitting surfaces “touchable”
• Permits intracanopy distribution of light• Overcomes mutual shading within foliar canopies
• Prevents premature senescence, abscission
• Enables higher photosynthetic productivity
![Page 26: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
LEDs in Plant Photobiology Research• Replace diffraction gratings
• Less need for broad-band sources, multiple filters• Cutoff filters, heat filters, safelights
• challenge to get LEDs with exact desired peak emissions• Bin selection, custom fabrication
• Will base of emission spectrum be as narrow as desired?• May be an issue with long irradiance times or high irradiance responses• Will cutoff filters have to be used with LEDs to determine contributions
of different photoreceptors?

• Past work:
• Lamp & Ballast Manufacturer• Product Manager• Technical Manager• Laboratory Manager
• Consulting• Consultant to EPA’s ENERGY STAR program for 4 years• Performed several analysis for Natural Resources Canada
![Page 99: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Metrics• Metrics are the language of
measurement
• Common metrics are valuable to have comparable testing• It’s hard to have a
conversation when we aren’t speaking the same language
![Page 100: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Metrics• Familiar metrics are all
geared towards the human eye response• Lumens, Candela, Lux, CCT,
CRI
• Human eye response is focused in the green and yellow areas, drops off for red and blue
IES Handbook 10th Edition
![Page 101: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
Metrics• There is a problem with these terms…
• Plants do not have eyes!• Well, not ones to see with.
• What DO plants need?
![Page 102: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Metrics• Plants absorb radiation
through photosynthesis• And other mechanisms
• Photosynthetic radiation absorbs strongly in the deep blue and red spectrums• But not only in these
spectrums
• Question: • Is it a lighting product if it isn’t
used to see by? IES Handbook 10th Edition
![Page 103: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
Metrics:• ASABE Progressing on a document for consistent metrics:
• Currently known as X640: Quantities and Units of Electromagnetic Radiation for Plants (Photosynthetic Organisms)• Includes definitions
• Includes metrics, quantities and units for radiation measurements and photon measurements
• Still needs to go through several votes, and address comments before it is finalized
![Page 104: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Metrics:• Notable Metrics :
• Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) – Already a common metric, considers radiation that is used for photosynthesis, from 400 to 700 nm, in Watts
• Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD) – PAR photon rate per unit area on a surface
• Plant Biologically Active Radiation (PBR)– Expands range of interest beyond photosynthesis to UV and IR spectrums (280 to 800 nm) to address non-photosynthetic photoreceptors in plants, in Watts
• Plant Biologically-Active Photon Flux Density (BPFD) – Like PPFD, but for PBR
![Page 105: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Metrics:• Notable Metrics
• Daily Light Integral – PPFD integrated over a 24 hour period, influenced by operating time
• Far-Red range – light in the 700 nm to 800 nm range
• UV range – light in the 100 nm to 400 nm range• Realistically, UV-C is largely filtered out from sunlight by the atmosphere, so the general
area of interest is 280 nm to 400 nm

• Obtains spectral power distribution, electrical characteristics and light output• But metrics are focused on the human eye and limited in temperature and humidity
• References Type C Goniophotometers for intensity distribution• May not be as accurate for short distance luminaires (near field)
• Other IES Methods have similar challenges• LM-82, LM-84, etc.
• IES LM-80-15 – Luminous Flux and Color Maintenance• Revised method addresses non-photometric flux, useful for estimating light
output degradation
![Page 107: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
Test Methods: Familiar Methods and Their Uses• IES TM-21
• Degradation principles are similar… for white LEDs.• Is there applicability to direct color LEDs such as blues, or different semiconductors such
as Red?
• LM-80 not as common for direct color LEDs, not always at temperature and humidity that Horticultural Lighting will experience
• Does not address any shift in spectrum
• Similar issues exist for the TM-28 projection
• Direct colors are being considered in many revisions…• But are not in most current versions
![Page 108: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Test Methods:• Summary: Problem is test methods
are designed with the human eye in mind• As we mentioned before, plants don’t
have eyes.
![Page 109: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Test Methods: Horticultural Lighting Specific• ASABE is working on a Horticulture specific test method
• Draft currently known as X642
• Focus is on LED lighting • LEDs (Packages, Arrays, Modules)
• LED lamps
• LED Radiation Devices (formerly known as luminaires)
• Product focused, does not deal with field measurements
![Page 110: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
Test Methods: Horticultural Lighting Specific• X642 approach is to reference / utilize existing test methods
• LM-79, LM-80, LM-84, LM-85
• TM-21, TM-28
• Measures Initial Radiant and Photon Flux and Intensity• Includes spectral measurement
• Measures Long Term performance changes• Output and spectral
• Recommendation is high humidity (99%)
![Page 111: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
Test Methods: Horticultural Lighting Specific• X642 Includes instrumentation recommendations
• Spectroradiometer
• Quantum Sensor
• Recommends 5nm resolution for most applications
• Includes Conversions and formulas
• Includes Reporting Recommendations
• Status: Progressing, nearing first votes
![Page 112: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Test Methods: Additional ConsiderationsHorticultural lighting has features not often found in general lighting:
• Active Cooling:• Ducting and piping to manage the heat of a luminaire can be difficult to work
around photometric equipment
• Color Shifting:• A fixture that shifts color according to a plant’s lifecycle may be a great thing,
but what points are measured?
• High Heat and Humidity:• Accurate representation of the situation the product is likely to operate in,
but does not play kindly with photometric measurement equipment
![Page 113: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
Test MethodsSummary:
• Current lighting test methods are not sufficient for horticultural lighting
• Testing may be challenging for some types of fixtures
• Like photometrics, more test methods may be needed for different scenarios
![Page 114: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
Standards• Current standards on lighting for agricultural lighting are limited:
• EP344.4 – Lighting Systems for Agricultural Facilities• Focused on performance of people and tasks, not plant growth
• Proposal in China to develop standards
• ASABE in early stages of standards development• How to consider efficiency and efficacy
![Page 115: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
StandardsSafety:
• Historically plant lighting has been evaluated like other lights• But the conditions of horticultural lighting are intense
• UL establishing a safety certification category for Horticultural Luminaires• Will use Collaborative Standards Development and work with industry to develop
appropriate requirements
• Many safety questions:• Photobiological hazards – UV and Blue Light
• Moisture considerations
• Mounting and moving lighting
![Page 116: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
StandardsSummary:
• Few standards currently exist
• Attention from new LED products driving development
• Will see more standards coming up in the future• Test methods are often precursors the standards
![Page 117: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
Program and Legislative InterestPrograms… Utilities… Etc…
• Regulation: DOE and California• Lamps are most often legislated
• Exemptions in place for most sources for plant lighting
• Ballast legislation may impact new Metal Halide and Linear Fluorescent fixtures
• EPA’s ENERGY STAR• Investigated, no action has been taken
• Unlikely to pursue, as lighting has been focused on residential
![Page 118: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
Program and Legislative InterestPrograms… Utilities… Etc…
• DesignLights Consortium• Expressed interest in 2015 DLC Meeting, but no mention in 2016
• DLC is involved in the ASABE effort
• Action likely when standards and test methods completed
• Electrical Utilities• Sharp increase in energy use in certain states
• Individual utilities may issue custom rebates before DLC• Example: Xcel Energy incentivized a program in Colorado this summer
![Page 119: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
Overall Summary:• Metrics are being solidified to make sure everyone is speaking the
same language
• Current Test Methods need adjustment to measure horticultural lighting with the appropriate metrics
• Standards are few and far between, but will come to bring performance, consistency and better safety
• Programs and Utilities are interested… but may need metrics, test methods, and standards before widespread adoption

Water, energy, transportation are inextricably linked to food production. New farming methods will be needed to feed a growing global population that use less water, energy and land.
Consumers are demanding fresh, locally grown, high quality produce, free of chemicals.
Retailers have recognized this trend and seek local growers that can provide produce, year-round, regardless of climate and weather conditions.
There is a shortage of growers who can produce a consistent, predictable, year-round supply of fresh vegetables, pesticide, herbicide and GMO free in a small footprint.

ChallengeFunding at Agricultural colleges is dominated by big agribusiness. A majority of the research and educational programs are targeted to big corn and cattle leaving little resource for alternative farming.
Alternative sustainable farming practices are emerging to grow fruits and vegetables in controlled indoor environments (greenhouse, hot houses, indoor vertical farms…).
They receive limited resources and there is a shortage of alternative farming research facilities and experienced teachers to train the new modern farmer.
With increasing costs of college more students either cannot afford to attend college, or graduate with crippling debt.
Enrollment at agricultural colleges is declining. Traditional farming is perceived to negatively impact the environment and generate jobs that are hard work, long hours and low pay.
there is a rising global population, with more mouths to feed and a shortage of job ready graduates to work in the agriculture and food service industry.

Photon Flux• Selecting the right LEDs requires not only understanding what
wavelengths/spectra is needed but also the intensity
• LEDs are measured in Luminous Flux (lm) or Radiant Power (mW), a conversion will be needed in order to calculate Photon Flux (PPF) in µmol/s
Optical Power
• W or J/s
Photon Flux
• µmol/s?

LED Degradation• Blue LEDs (InGaN) and Red LEDs (AlInGaP) have different degradation
over lifetime characteristics
• LED manufactures can provide LM-80 data to help understand these lifetime characteristics
• Poor thermal management/electrical design can lead to uneven degradation• Altered SPD or Blue:Red ratio
• Change/reduction in crop yield

Optical Considerations:• Homogeneous lighting is critical for even crop growth
• LED spacing/mixing or use of primary/secondary optics may be critical depending on the application type
![Page 258: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/258.jpg)
LED Characteristics• LEDs are directional light sources
and w/o primary optics are basically Lambertian emitters.• FWHM = 120deg
• Some LEDs on the market with primary optic (dome) can range from 80deg to 150deg beam angles
![Page 259: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/259.jpg)
Optics• Using LEDs with primary optics
and/or adding secondary optics allows you to shape the beam pattern• Eliminates wasted photons in
areas void of plants (aisles/walkways/walls)
• Use of a secondary optic will result in loss of photon flux• Typ losses ~10-15%

Thermal Considerations:• Unlike traditional lighting sources, LEDs don’t radiate heat, they
instead generate heat internally and it must be sufficiently extracted
• Proper thermal management is critical to meeting performance targets as well as achieving long lifetime

Thermal Management:• As a rule, the thermal
management of an LED system can be broken down into three system levels:
1. LED
2. PCB
3. Cooling System
![Page 264: LED-based Horticultural Lighting](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012009/613c58e9f237e1331c511775/html5/thumbnails/264.jpg)
Thermal Management: LED• At LED level, thermal management is
generally predefined by the component manufacturer and is determined by the design of the LED
• LED data sheets will list the junction-solder point thermal resistance Rth JS • C/W or K/W
• Knowledge of the heat path of the LED is important for the thermal design of the PCB and system.

Thermal Management: PCB• Once the heat from the LED housing
reaches the PCB, the PCB must ensure the transmission of heat from then on.
• Basic Considerations:• Amount of thermal power• LED pitch• PCB Substrate Material
• FR-4 vs MCPCB• What mechanisms are used to cool the
system?• How should the heat be transmitted to
the heat sinks if present?

Thermal Management: Cooling System• The cooling system is generally the end of the heat path. From this point
the generated heat can only be dissipated via convection or radiation.
• Common Methods:• Passive – heatsink/metal housing• Active – heatsink + fan
• Thermal Interface Material (TIM) needed to enhance the thermal coupling between PCB and Heatsink• Grease• Pad

Power Supplies• Converts AC line voltage to DC
voltage for LEDs
• May be constant current or constant voltage• Max output voltage must exceed LED
Vf• Constant voltage supplies will require
on-board electronics to regulate LED current
• Single channel vs multi-channel
• Controls inputs optional

In Summary
LEDs offer several benefits for horticulture lighting applications that can increase crop yields and lower energy costs
Several considerations must be taken into account when designing for LEDs to ensure proper performance and lifetime.

• Plant diseases will be a part of the controlled environment
• Lighting can be an organic alternative to pesticides
• A consortium for research and development is the best model to capitalize on this opportunity
• We seek partnerships through development of a consortium to develop and exploit new knowledge and lighting technologies to suppress plant diseases and promote plant health
