The choice of spectrum of LED irradiators affect the life of lighting systems in horticulture

The article presents the results of experimental studies of LED degradation in greenhouse irradiators for horticulture. It was found that in the process of operation of the irradiators the emission spectrum changes. This is caused by different decrease rate of photosynthetic photon flux of different colored LEDs. For a longer service life it is recommended to use greenhouse irradiators with a large proportion of red LEDs.
