Rang Dong’s LED algae grow light - key to successful algaculture
Give the importance of light to crops, while natural light is not sufficient for certain algae types such as spirulina, artificial lighting is extremely necessary in algaculture. More details of Rang Dong's algae grow light and its features can be found herein.
Some theoretical basis about LED algae grow light
Spirulina, or blue-green algae, is a filamentous photosynthetic microorganism the size of which is measured in micrometers and it can only be seen under a microscope. Similar to other plants, spirulina carries out optical reactions during photosynthesis. The growth of the algae highly depends on the quality and intensity of light.
The difference here lies with light energy storage. In thick-leaved plants, only the cells in the outermost leaf layer are capable of storing light energy, while each filament of spirulina is a light energy storing cell, thus they all are capable of participating in photosynthesis. It means in algaculture, artificial light must be used with suitable light spectrum and intensity to help the crop grow.

Following successful research, Hanoi-based Rang Dong, the country's leading manufacturer of LED products and provider of horticulture lighting solutions, has started producing two models of specialized lights for algae farming, namely LED T25W 120/BR (50B,50R) and LED TRR 01L BR (30N/70R). The following table provides more details of their specifications.

Features of Rang Dong’s algae grow light
Among the dominant features of Rang Dong LED algae grow light are the spectrum suitable for algae and the right beam angle. Its spectrum is different from that of LED lights for general lighting, and also from LED grow lights designed for chrysanthemum, dragon fruit and medical herbs. The 90-degree beam angle gives high light focus on algae tank.
Secondly, the algae grow lights use LED light sources so they consume less energy, bringing more economical and environmental benefits. Since the product is manufactured with little infrared light and which does not emit UV rays, it is not harmful to people’s health, helping avoid skin cancer, premature aging and headaches. They also have a lifespan of up to 20,000 hours, so we can use them for four to six years.
