Use of artificial Lighting Lamps for Orchid Culture

According to the differences in culture sites, there are several different length specifications for lamps to choose from:

20W-o.6m long, 30W-0.9m long, 40W-1.2m long

At the same time, the number and exposure degree of lamps and lanterns should be determined according to the selection of lighting fixtures, the surrounding reflective conditions (such as walls, scaffolding, etc.), the number of plants and the scope of the cover.

Generally, when the length of the lamp tube is determined, within the range of 1.5 mi 2 meters in the direction of awareness, use a TLD/89 and 03 (or 77) lamp tube for use, a slightly wider place can add a TLD/89 lamp tube, and the number of disaster degree lamp tubes will increase exponentially. If the place is indoors, or the surrounding light is dark, ordinary tricolor lamps can be used to increase lighting intensity, which not only meets the needs, but also the cost is relatively acceptable.

According to the experiment, the irradiation height of the lamp is generally at 25Mui 50cm from the leaf surface, and some varieties can even be at 10Mui 15cm. And adjusting the irradiation height can also adjust the light intensity, the higher the irradiation height, the lower the intensity, and vice versa.

Do not burn orchid leaves with too high illuminance, light saturation, or too strong ultraviolet rays!

The irradiation intensity can be measured by light instrument, and other aspects are generally determined on the basis of experience.

Lighting lamps and lanterns using ordinary fluorescent lamps and lanterns, equipped with ordinary fluorescent lamp ballast (glow starter). Due to the high price of the light source, it is recommended to choose the electronic ballast of the same brand as the lamp tube, which can maximize the life of the lamp tube and exert the effect of the lamp tube. There are many choices for the style of lamps and lanterns, and it is recommended to choose and buy them according to the characteristics of the location, installation location and financial affordability.
