Increase your yield by making regular spot checks on the light levels your
plants are receiving - shade or add supplementary lighting as required
Check that the light is uniform over the crop
Use the system to check on a regular basis the efficiency of your
supplementary lighting lamps. Notice how the light output from them gradually decreases
with age - meaning you are using the same amount of electricity but the crop is receiving
lower light levels. This meter will help you to decide the economically optimum time
for changing lamps
LMFG will help you to determine whether the glass on Glasshouses needs
cleaning. Make readings when the glass has been cleaned and then make regular
routine readings. Light transmissions gradually decline as the glass becomes dirtier
- a 10% decrease in light transmission has been shown to give a 10% decrease in crop
yield.
