Research has long shown that plants respond better to particular wavelengths of light, specifically in the 400 to 500nm (blue) and 600 to 700nm (red) spectra. Now, the advent of high output, low power, more affordable LED modules configured at specific wavelengths is beginning to revolutionise the horticulture sector.
