Supplemental lighting is a requirement for most research applications. Conviron has developed a patented lighting system that is capable of uniformly delivering 300 micro-moles of supplemental light. High intensity discharge luminaires designed specifically for this application are mounted on an adjustable rig that is easily raised or lowered to provide a constant light intensity at the plant growth canopy. Ballasts are remotely located in the corridor to eliminate waste heat in the growing environment, reduce the obstruction of natural light, and provide easy access for maintenance.
