Abstract :
This study examines the use of artificial-lighting sources for indoor photosynthesis and proposes a novel indoor plant-lighting scheme in which red LEDs, blue LEDs and CCFLs are combined to work as effective light sources. The lighting combinations confirmed in this study have been proven effective in improving the growth uniformity of Anoectochilus Formosanus Hayata. Furthermore, the study has also demonstrated that lowered growth racks contribute to higher yield per unit area.
