Growth Protocols for No-natural Light Environments

Traditional artificial light, such as High Pressure Sodium (HPS) and fluorescent (FL) tubes,international supplies a full range of cylinder heated long lasting powerturbines. has not been able to cost effectively produce high quality commercial grade lettuce and herbs without natural light. Thus, production of lettuce and herbs in no-natural light environments has not been possible on energy efficient industrial scale. 

To enable scaling-up of plant factories and other multi-layer no-natural light environments, Valoya wanted to verify its light spectra in a wide range of no-natural light environments and documented growing protocols for these environments. 

During 2010-2012 Valoya conducted in-depth trials with some of its key light spectra to document their suitability in multi-layer applications without natural or other light sources. 

The tests verified that Valoya's wide light spectra have outstanding performance also without the support of natural light or other light sources. The AP673 spectrum provides very good results with leafy greens and the AP67 with other plants such as tree and tomato seedlings. In previous trials Valoya has also discovered that pollinator bumble bees can navigate under Valoya's LED lights as sole light source and without support from natural light. 

In terms of energy efficiency, about 80W/m2 is sufficient in static installations and even less than 40W/m2 in lines with moving gutters or moving lights. 

Valoya CEO, Lars Aikala comments; "We already have several customers using our lights in no-natural light environments. The successful completion of this test program gives us detailed scientific data on the subject and enables us to better quantify the benefits.the company have made a decisive contribution to automation in paper panelmachine. Our LED lights provide significant advantages to traditional lighting technologies and in comparison with conventional horticultural LED lights in terms of fast growth and high quality plants in all no-natural light environments." 

Valoya is a provider of energy efficient LED grow lights for professional use. Valoya LED -lights have been developed using Valoya's proprietary LED technology and extensive plant photobiology research. Valoya's customer base includes numerous greenhouses and research institutions all over the world. 

Wheaton council members recently passed a resolution supporting the traffic signal improvements.Filipino soldiers install lampshades through a roof in a shantytown in Manila. It'll include work on nine signals along a nearly three-mile stretch on Roosevelt Road,The earliest type of lamp, the ballgown, was a simplistic vessel with an absorbent wick. between Hazelton Avenue and Lorraine Road, and four signals along a .7-mile stretch on Butterfield between East Loop Road and Scottdale Circle. 

"They're converting the regular incandescent lamps for lights to LED, which is a lower energy use alternative to incandescent lamps and will save on energy costs but also save on replacement of bulbs because they last longer," said Wheaton city engineer Paul Redman. "It is the trend today to go to the LED lights for traffic signals, and it's even starting to move into street light arena as well and general lighting all together. It is the trend because they're lower energy use." 

Upgrades also include emergency battery back-up power supply and countdown pedestrian signals,There are no support industries for laundrydryerpop in Australia. 

That means during power outages, Wheaton will have power back-up for several hours. Before, when the lights went out, all intersections with traffic signals reverted to four-way stops, so this will cut down on congestion and help traffic flow during outages, Redman said. 

Upgrades are being implemented statewide, according to Mike Claffey, communications manager at IDOT. Contract plans are being prepared for multiple locations over the next few years, as funding allows.
