Vertical farmers are growing with new and unique needs, so they need new grow lighting to satisfy those needs! Read more: http://blog.brightagrotech.com/coolbar-a-smart-solution-for-vertical-farm-lighting
Coverage refers to how well light is distributed to crops, across the plant canopy and penetrating through to lower leaves.
Traditionally, coverage was limited because crop lights had set angles and coverage had to be calculated assuming a certain distance from crops. But vertical farms are meant to be flexible and are often tightly spaced. Big boxy lights with narrow coverage area limited how growers could hang and arrange lights, and made growing vertically awkward.
What vertical farmers really need are light bars to offer good coverage. Those bars need to have several characteristics if they’re going to be good for vertical farms:
Light bars (not boxes or panels)
Double-sided lights
Long lights
Broad light angles
Low heat output
With this wish list in mind, we set out to create the grow lighting for vertical farms that we would actually want to use.

Can these be D/C powered from a solar panels or wind generator?
How much micro mole per square meter one light could produce and in which distance from top of canopy?
Are the lights mounted directly on the zip rack?
Whats the PAR and PPFD of the lights, the efficiency of each, and Heat that is produced per bar?
would've been good to see these in action, to actually see the light coverage and how they're placed in your operations, and the crops you allocate for them with the added electricity expense etc.
i am farmer. can u send to me yr full prosasal coz I need get loan from bank to invest in yr system
lights under the plants
what color and spectrum are the light bars?
