## Abstract

An LED growth light and method for providing light to plants incorporating an LED arrangement, a growth light housing, and a power source. The LED arrangement includes LEDs arranged in individually powered columns to provide relatively uniform disbursement of the light to the plants. The housing includes an accessory rail to attach a variety of optional accessories and internal cooling fins to cool the housing to prevent damage to the power supply and/or to prevent overheating the plants. In addition, the housing includes a fan and end caps which permit the movement of air for the displacement of heat and reduce the intake of moisture or debris into the interior of the LED growth light.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A growth light comprising:
a housing;
at least one printed circuit board slot for receiving a printed circuit board;
a plurality of LED chips arranged on said printed circuit board including at least one column providing light in a range of 551 to 2000 nanometers, at least one column providing light in a range of 100 to 550 nanometers including multiple spaced apart cyan LED chips that provide light in a 490 to 510 nanometer range, and at least one column of white LED chips; and
a power supply received in said housing that powers said printed circuit board such that each of the individual columns of LED chips can be individually powered.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The growth light of claim 1, wherein said housing is a unitary piece of metal.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The growth light of claim 2, wherein said housing is extruded aluminum.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The growth light of claim 1, wherein said columns of LED chips are linear.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The growth light of claim 1, further including a fan that is positioned on the inside of said housing.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The growth light of claim 5, wherein said housing includes at least one internal surface for engaging at least one surface of said fan.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The growth light of claim 1, wherein said housing includes at least one accessory rail located on an exterior surface of said housing.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The growth light of claim 7, wherein said at least one accessory rail has an inverted T shape.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The growth light of claim 8, wherein said housing has a pair of accessory rails on an upper surface of said housing that are located on lateral edges of said upper surface near side surfaces.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The growth light of claim 1, further including a first end cap with angled louvres.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The growth light of claim 1, further including a wire grommet located adjacent to the printed circuit board.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The growth light of claim 1, further including a second end cap with angled louvres.

### Claim 13 (depends on 10)

The growth light of claim 10, wherein said first end cap includes a filter.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The growth light of claim 1, further including a lens.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

The growth light of claim 1, wherein said housing includes a plurality of internal fans.

### Claim 16

An LED growth light comprising:
a housing having an exterior surface with a first end, a second end, side surfaces, a lower surface, and an upper surface;
a printed circuit board with lines of LED chips, at least one line providing light in a range of 551 to 2000 nanometers, at least one line providing light in a range of 100 to 550 nanometers including multiple spaced apart cyan LED chips that provide light in a 490 to 510 nanometer range, and at least one line that includes white light LED chips; and
a power source receiving power from outside of the housing and supplying power to said printed circuit board such that each of the individual lines of LED chips can be individually powered.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The LED growth light of claim 16, further including a lens that is coupled to the housing.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

The LED growth light of claim 16, wherein said lines of LED chips are straight.

### Claim 19 (depends on 16)

The LED growth light of claim 16, wherein said lines of LED chips are parallel.

### Claim 20

An LED growth light comprising:
a housing having an exterior surface with a first end, a second end, at least one side surface, a lower surface, and an upper surface;
a printed circuit board with individually powered columns of LED chips, at least one column providing light in a range of 551 to 2000 nanometers, at least one column providing light in a range of 100 to 550 nanometers including multiple spaced apart cyan LED chips that provide light in a 490 to 510 nanometer range, and at least one column that includes a plurality of white LED chips;
a power source coupled to an interior surface of said housing that provides power to the printed circuit board; and
a communication interface that communicates with a device network that permits the control of the printed circuit board by an electronic device such that each of the individually powered columns of LED chips can be individually turned up or down.
