Executive summary-artificial lightning for house plants.

1. Indoor grown pot plants need certain amount of sun light in order to
perform photosynthesis and grow normally. The minimal light stream
intensity needed is 100-150 Micro-Einstein /m2, equivalent to the
outside sun-light intensity in a very cloudy day.
2. The plants can use only the light in the visible spectrum (PAR) in
wave-length between 400-750 nanometer. The usual internal
artificial light in homes is not effective to plants. So today the
growing of plants in the interior is limited to balconies, near windows
and external hanging containers.
3. The existing solutions today are expensive and energy consuming in
the form of sodium, and methyl aldehyde lamps, normally 200 watts
or more, and creating unpleasant heat.
4. Experiments conducted in Wekah Ltd. since 2001 show that plants
1
can grow successfully, when given the right spectrum and intensity
close to the plants canopy and focused on the plant itself. The first
experiments were conducted with fluorescent bulbs 24 watts, 15 cm.
from the canopy. New Led light technologies permit even lower
consumption of energy, and working in the specific range of red and
blue lights only.
5. The project developed by Wekah Technologies Ltd. is to design and
develop an efficient lightening device with low energy consumption,
to create a complete artificial sun substitute for single or a group of
pot plants, adjustable and decorative, to permit professional plant
growing inside the dark corners and spaces of homes. Easy to use and
practical.
6. Ecological improvement of the interior and co2 emissions reducing
plant population in places not possible to grow in the past.
