In general, there is a risk that plants will not receive enough daylight during the dark season and indoors in general. The lack of light makes them susceptible to pests or they die.
Plant lamps are mostly used for safe hibernation. However, they can also be used for all-year home growing in dark areas and as an extension of daylight. In addition, many seedlings can be grown earlier, for example artichokes, aubergines or peppers.
In addition to private homes, plant lamps are also used in flower shops or nurseries, for example.
In order for plants to be stimulated to photosynthesise by artificial lighting, special light sources are required - normal light sources are not suitable. The most important difference between a normal lamp and a plant lamp is the colour spectrum, i.e. the composition of the light.
Natural daylight contains all wavelengths. Plants mainly need the blue and red parts. Plant lamps therefore also have more red and blue components, which explains the violet light. Only this light has a photobiological effect on growth and flowering.
As in other areas of artificial lighting, many plant lamps are now also operated with LED. This keeps electricity costs low, even with naturally longer lighting times.

This depends entirely on the plant species. Tropical or subtropical plants, for example, require 12 to 14 hours of light. In addition, the light requirement changes depending on the stage in the plant's life cycle.
A dark period is also necessary for most plants - omitting the dark phase does not always provoke faster growth.
Timers** or smart control solutions are recommended for regulating the lighting duration of plant lamps.
Plant lamps are speciality lamps, in this case for use in plant growth. The light from these special lamps is not suitable for lighting living spaces.
In addition, the area of application should be considered in advance. If plant lamps are used in damp rooms, they require a higher IP protection rating, e.g. IP65, in order to be waterproof.
