-red (measurements from a 600-W HPS fixture; P.L. Light Systems Inc., Beamsville, ON, Canada), LED fixtures can have different color diodes to achieve customized spectra. However, the most common LED fixtures available for plant lighting contain mainly red and blue

greenhouse lighting systems use broad-spectrum light sources such as HPS or fluorescent lamps. LEDs have been shown to decrease artificial lighting costs to less than 25% of the cost of traditional artificial lighting as a result of their 75% higher
