7 Summary
The performance of LEDs has increased enormously in recent years.
When operated at an optimal temperature, with a well-designed power
supply, and an optimized spectral output, LED light sources can compete
with HID light sources and will surpass them in the near future. Würth
Elektronik offers the
WL-SMDC SMD Mono-color Ceramic LED Waterclear
range of LEDs (Figure 9). The WL-SMDC range has been expanded to
include wavelengths of 450 nm (Deep Blue), 660 nm (Hyper Red) and
730 nm (Far Red), which have been optimized to match the absorption
spectra of photosynthetic pigments. In addition to the existing products in
the
WL-SMDC, WL-SMTC, WL-SUMW and WL-SIMW a diverse range
of combinations is possible that can be catered to the target cultivar.
