Abstract
Systems and methods for providing grow lighting are described. One embodiment of a method includes receiving a lighting cycle for a predetermined plant type and receiving a command for implementing the lighting cycle with a grow lighting assembly on a plant, where the grow lighting assembly includes a grow lighting device with a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs). Some embodiments also include determining an illumination pattern for implementing the lighting cycle for the grow lighting assembly and sending the illumination pattern to the grow lighting assembly for implementation.
Claims20
A method for providing grow lighting, comprising:
- providing a user interface for creating a lighting cycle, the user interface configured to receive a user selection of a plurality options applicable to a grow lighting assembly that comprises a plurality of low heat lighting elements, wherein a first lighting element of the plurality of low heat lighting elements outputs a first wavelength of photon-emitting light, and wherein a second lighting element of the plurality of low heat lighting elements outputs a second wavelength of photon-emitting light;
- receiving, via the user interface, first data for creating a first portion of a lighting cycle, wherein the first portion comprises activating the first lighting element to output the first wavelength of photon-emitting light;
- receiving, via the user interface, second data for creating a second portion of the lighting cycle, wherein the second portion comprises activating the second lighting element to output the second wavelength of photon-emitting light;
- receiving, by a computing device, a lighting cycle for a predetermined plant type based at least in part on the received first data and the received second data;
- receiving, via the user interface, a command for implementing the received lighting cycle with the grow lighting assembly on a plant;
- determining, by the computing device, an illumination pattern for implementing the received lighting cycle for the grow lighting assembly;
- sending, by the computing device, the illumination pattern to the grow lighting assembly for implementation;
- and
- providing a notification to harvest the plant based at least in part on a detected level of growth of the plant exceeding a configurable threshold.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores logic that, when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to perform at least the following:
- provide a user interface for creating a lighting cycle, the user interface configured to receive a user selection of a plurality options applicable to a grow lighting assembly including a grow lighting device with a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), wherein a first LED of the plurality of LEDs emits photon-emitting light of a first wavelength, wherein a second LED of the plurality of LEDs emits photon-emitting light of a second wavelength, and wherein the first wavelength and the second wavelength are different;
- receive, via the user interface, first data for creating a first portion of a lighting cycle, wherein the first portion comprises activating the first LED to output the photon-emitting light of the first wavelength;
- recieve, via the user interface, second data for creating a second portion of the lighting cycle, wherein the second portion comprises activating the second LED to output the photon-emitting light of the second wavelength;
- receive a lighting cycle for a predetermined plant type based at least in part on the received first data and the received second data;
- receive, via the user interface, a command for implementing the lighting cycle with the grow lighting assembly on a plant;
- determine an illumination pattern for implementing the lighting cycle for the first LED and the second LED;
- send the illumination pattern to the grow lighting assembly for implementation;
- and
- provide a notification to harvest the plant based at least in part on a detected level of growth of the plant exceeding a configurable threshold.
