Abstract

This invention discloses a LED mixed lighting for tissue culture of orchids. Due to limitation of technology, currently it lacks of LED lighting directly used for orchids, especially for tissue culture of dendrobium candidum, ornamental dendrobium and phalaenopsis. This inventions adopts a technical proposal as follows: a LED fixed lighting for tissue culture of orchids is characterized in that said many red and blue LEDs will constitute several units; each unit has 3 blue LEDs and there are 8 red LEDs in elliptical or rounded patterns surrounding said 3 blue LEDs, and said 3 blue LEDs are gathered in triangular pattern, and said 8 red LEDs are separated at interval. This invention makes special arrangement of lamps and realizes adjustment of light quality and light period by turning on or turning off red LEDs and blue LEDs, and by this way, a LED mixed light which is distributed evenly and suitable for tissue culture of orchids.

Claims

1. A LED fixed lighting for tissue culture of orchids comprising:

a lamp holder, a plurality of red LEDs and blue LEDs on the lamp holder;

the plurality of red and blue LEDs constitute a plurality units;

each unit has three blue LEDs and eight red LEDs which is surrounding the three blue LEDs in an elliptical or rounded pattern,

said 3 blue LEDs are gathered in a triangular pattern, and said 8 red LEDs are separated at interval, among which four red LEDs compose a first red LEDs group, and the other four LEDs compose a second red LEDs group, and each four red LEDs of the first and second red LEDs groups are distributed in a first and second rectangular patterns respectively;

the triangular pattern, first and second rectangular patterns of one unit have a coincidence point, a space between two coincidence points of two near units is within 1.3 to 5 cm.

2. The LED mixed lighting for tissue culture of orchids according to claim 1, wherein the far peripheral LEDs at lamp holder are red LEDs, and two red LEDs at most outer side of the one unit also become two red LEDs at most outer side of adjacent the one unit.
