The LED criterion that no one measures and that will determine everything within 3 years
Key points of this article: Standard horticultural LED luminaires lose between 10 and 15% of their light output per year, a phenomenon invisible to the naked eye but with measurable agronomic consequences. Two luminaires with the same initial PPFD can produce radically different results after 24 months, due to spectral drift related to… Continue reading The LED criterion that no one measures and that will determine everything in 3 years
