Ultimate Guide to LED Lighting for Green Walls: Everything You Need to Know

Lighting plays a crucial role in the success of a green wall. At GreenVisuaLED, we specialize in LED horticultural lighting for green walls and we want to share our expertise with you. In this article, we offer you a complete guide to choosing and installing the right lighting for your green wall, whether it is intended for professional or private use.

The basics of green wall lighting

The different types of green walls

Green walls come in several types: indoor, outdoor. The lighting required varies according to these categories, as each type of green wall has specific constraints and requirements. For example, an indoor green wall will have different needs than an outdoor green wall, especially in terms of light intensity and ambient temperature control.

Understanding plant needs

Lighting is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light into energy. For a green wall, it is crucial to take into account the specific lighting needs of plants. The main elements to consider are light intensity, light spectrum and lighting duration. Each plant has specific needs in terms of quantity and quality of light. It is therefore important to choose lighting that is suitable for the plants you want to grow on your green wall.

Why choose LED technology for your green walls?

Advantages of LEDs for horticultural lighting

LED technology offers many advantages for horticultural lighting, especially for green walls. First of all, LEDs are energy efficient and consume less energy than other types of lamps. They also have a longer lifespan and generate less heat, which reduces the risk of burns for plants. Finally, LEDs allow precise control of the light spectrum, which is essential for optimal plant growth.

How long does LED lighting for green walls last?

The lifespan of LED lighting

LED lights for green walls are renowned for their long service life, which can reach up to 50,000 hours. To better understand this duration in terms of years, consider a daily use of 12 to 18 hours. In this case, the lifespan of the LED lighting would be between 9 and 11 years.

It is important to note that after 50,000 hours, LED lighting does not suddenly stop working, but its performance gradually decreases. Indeed, after 50,000 hours, LEDs lose about 30% of their luminous efficiency. Despite this loss of performance, LED lighting remains a sustainable and energy-efficient option for green walls, guaranteeing a good return on investment.

How to choose the right lighting for your green wall?

Determine the specific needs of your project

To choose the right lighting for your green wall, it is important to assess the specific needs of your project. Consider the types of plants you want to grow, the environment in which your green wall will be installed, and space and installation constraints. This assessment will allow you to identify the essential characteristics of the lighting you need, such as power, light spectrum and duration of lighting.

Selection criteria

Among the criteria to consider when choosing the right lighting for your green wall are:

• Power: it determines the light intensity of the lighting. Be sure to choose a power adapted to the needs of your plants.
• The light spectrum: it corresponds to the distribution of the different wavelengths of light. A spectrum adapted to the needs of plants will promote their growth and flowering.
• The diffusion angle: it determines the area covered by the lighting. A wide diffusion angle allows a better distribution of light on the surface of the green wall.

The LED lighting solutions offered by GreenVisuaLED meet these criteria and offer great flexibility to adapt to your needs.

Installation and optimization of lighting for green walls

Installation steps

Installing LED lighting for your green wall requires following some key steps:

1. Plan the location and layout of your light sources based on the specific needs of your plants and available space.
2. Install brackets, rails or fasteners to accommodate your bars, bulbs or other LED lighting solutions.
3. Connect the lighting to a power source and control system, if necessary, to manage light intensity and lighting duration.
4. Test the lighting and adjust it if necessary to ensure a homogeneous distribution of light throughout the green wall.

The importance of care and maintenance

Regular care and proper maintenance are essential to extend the life of your LED lighting and ensure optimal plant growth. Here are some tips for maintaining and maintaining your green wall lighting:

1. If you are in a very dusty environment, clean LED surfaces regularly to avoid the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can reduce light efficiency.
2. Check electrical connections and cables regularly for signs of wear or damage.
3. Monitor the temperature of your lighting and environment to avoid overheating and plant hazards.
