Abstract
A lighting assembly for enhancing the growth of aquatic life in an ecosystem and method of enhancing the growth of aquatic life in such an ecosystem. The assembly includes a vessel submerged within water of the ecosystem. A substrate is disposed within and surrounded by the vessel and provides electronics to provide a conditioned current to a plurality of light emitting diodes also contained on the substrate. The light emitting diodes emit light within the water of the ecosystem that provides for growth, not only in a larger volume of the ecosystem, but in addition enhances the growth of the aquatic life.
Claims45
A lighting assembly comprising:
- a vessel submerged within water of an ecosystem;
- a substrate disposed within the vessel and having driving circuitry thereon;
- and
- at least one lighting device electrically connected to the driving circuitry that emits light within the water of the ecosystem.
A method of enhancing the growth of aquatic life within a natural ecosystem comprising steps of:
- submerging a vessel within water of an natural ecosystem;
- said vessel having at least one light emitting diode;
- emitting light from the at least one light emitting diode such that the light is received by aquatic life in the natural ecosystem.
