Reduce the number of global sunshine push up LED lighting market demand

According to statistics, in 2011 the number of days in the northern hemisphere in some areas to reduce the number of days than in previous years, in Taiwan, for example, the recent sunshine hours is the least in 61 years. In this case, the United States, Europe and Japan, Chinese, to supplement the sunshine plant lighting market demand increased, especially in 2011 after the 311 earthquake in Japan, the plant plant and plant lighting subsidies and more attention than ever.

Extreme weather and global sunshine to push up demand for plant plants

The stage of global climate change severe extreme weather than modern times more frequent, from 2011 and 2012 in the northern hemisphere winter, 2011 cloud cover, rainfall intensity, reduce the duration of sunshine is an unfavorable factor for the development of agriculture, plant and plant lighting factory into a government industry academic discussion another way to make up for.

Japan's central government, local government (County Road) from the beginning of 2011, the local agriculture industry, combined with counseling, development of plant factory lighting, through the LED to strengthen the lack of sunlight, affected by the land yield borrow made up by the plant factory, hydroponic etc..

The Japanese government subsidy policy to the plant factory since 2009, a total of 14 billion 600 million yen (about 9 billion 600 million yuan of forestry and fisheries; Ministry of economy of about 5 billion yuan) for plant factory was set up in 2010, subsidies, an additional 1 billion 40 million yen for artificial plant factory of high added value and technological development. Benefited from the implementation of the subsidy policy, the number of plant plants from 50 in 2009, has gradually increased to more than 100 specifications, including artificial light source and solar light type plant factory.

The main reason for the popularity of plant factories in Japan

1 high cost of agricultural land.

2 summer high temperature, high light, cheap environmental control.

3 resources and related equipment is easy to obtain, but also contributed to the main cause of plant development.

4 in the greenhouse hydroponic leafy vegetables have a certain market in Japan, to plant factory vegetables, consumers can accept.

5 consumer demand for high-quality vegetables, but also willing to buy at high prices.

6 related power consumption equipment efficiency, especially the efficiency of light source and air conditioning equipment has been greatly improved.

7 the Japanese government vigorously advocacy and promotion, a high proportion (50%) subsidies, and subsidies regardless of enterprises or farmers.

Plant lighting is not limited to LED light source, fluorescent light source also has a certain status

But the plant is not only lighting using LED light, the earliest and the plan in accordance with the specific wavelength to supply lighting plant is used by the fluorescent lamp, and has been developed for a period of time, and more power, more able to specify the wavelength of LED lighting, both can be a variety of wave length combination collocation application advantages, become the new lighting plant. At the same time, the life of the light source is longer, and the number of replacement is less than that of the fluorescent lamp.

Japan's existing plant factory from the Northeast Hokkaido, Iwate, Aomori, Miyagi, Yamagata Fukushima and other counties, and the Kanto region more, plant plant form and plants range from vegetables and flowers to crops.
