Compare lighting system options.

Comparison should include

  • factors that influence lighting selection
  • photoperiodism needs
  • types of systems
    • incandescent
    • light-emitting diode (LED)
    • high-intensity discharge (HID) (e.g., metal halide, high-pressure sodium)

Process/Skill Questions:

  • How does light affect photoperiodism?
  • How can flowering be manipulated by lighting?
  • How does light color, intensity, and duration affect plant growth?
  • When is one type of lighting system preferable over another?
