Light. It's essential for plants to grow well in a greenhouse. Without light, there's no plant. But too much light can also have negative consequences.

In a greenhouse, we're well-acquainted with the different types of light. We're familiar with irradiance in Joules or Watts, for example, and PAR to measure photosynthesis light.

We use light sensors, among other things, as an additional data channel to enrich the data from other sensors. This way, light data complements data on weight, moisture, and climate. We're also seeing increasing use of light sensors in vertical farming. Especially with PAR light, it's crucial to be able to measure the spectrum emitted by LED light.

Even in a conventional greenhouse, a light sensor can provide valuable data. By installing light sensors in the greenhouse, especially with PAR, you gain a good understanding of the spectrum of light the plant actually receives under the glass. The effect of chalking or unwanted contamination on the greenhouse cover then becomes clearly visible.

The two light sensors can also be combined to visualize the pars per joule. After all, a very sunny day isn't necessarily a day with the highest pars per joule.

Combined with a weight sensor, we also visualize light efficiency relative to plant growth. This way, the various wireless sensors seamlessly integrate to further digitize cultivation and achieve more efficient business operations.
