New DOE Study Estimates Energy-Saving Potential in Horticultural Lighting

LED lighting is enabling unprecedented advances in horticulture lighting, and this new field is attracting huge interest, according to a recent update from the DOE. One of its new reports, “Energy Savings Potential of SSL in Horticultural Applications,” examines the energy-saving potential of LED lighting in horticultural applications. Among the key findings was the fact that, based on current performance, LED lighting offers a 24% to 30% reduction in electricity consumption per square foot of grow area.
