Green Wall Lighting Solution - Basic Details

If you're looking for a lighting solution for your indoor green wall, you've come to the right place.

Before we explore our offerings, let's delve into the basics of plant lighting for green walls. When designing an optimal lighting solution, there are four critical parameters of light that we must consider

1. Light Spectrum

2. Light Intensity

3. Photoperiod

4. Light Uniformity

Let's explore each parameter in greater detail and its relevance to your green wall:

Light Spectrum:

Light spectrum, or light quality, is a key parameter when designing a lighting solution for a green wall.

Nexsel understands the importance of light spectrum in designing green wall lighting solutions. Using our unique 4-step spectra development process, we have created spectrums that cater to all types of ornamental plants, ensuring optimum leaf size and desired colours.

Our developed spectrums not only promote plant thriving but also facilitate plant growth. We always refer the McCree action spectrum in our development process.

Choose from our three specially crafted spectrums for your green wall needs

Nx5 : Warm white - eco spectrum suitable for green indoor ornamental plants

0	11	33	45	11	89	3190k	94	0.34	4.10	3.94

Light Intensity:

Light Intensity. Measured in PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) with the unit umol/m2/sec, it determines the amount of light plants receive. For ornamental plants, the recommended intensity range is typically 15 to 200 PPFD. To cater to different light requirements, indoor plants are commonly classified based on their light needs.

Based on the amount of light required for growth, indoor plants are often classified as follows

i. Low light intensity requirement

•Minimum Requirement - 15 umol/s/m²

•Requirement for good growth - 20-38 umol/s/m²

•Common example - Peacelily, Heart-leaf philodendron, Cast-iron plant etc.

ii. Medium light intensity requirement

•Minimum Requirement - 20-28 umol/s/m²

•Requirement for good growth - 38-92 umol/s/m²

•Common example - African violet, Boston fern, Dumb cane etc.

iii. High light intensity requirement

•Minimum Requirement - 28-92 umol/s/m²

•Requirement for good growth - 92-180 umol/s/m²

•Common example - Weeping fig, English ivy, Schefflera etc

iv. Very high light intensity requirement

•Minimum Requirement - 180 umol/s/m²

•Requirement for good growth - 180+ umol/s/m²

•Common example - Hibiscus, Rex begonia, Geranium etc

Photoperiod:

Just like humans, plants require a proper day-night cycle. Our lighting solutions feature programmable timers, enabling you to simulate natural lighting conditions. This way, your green wall can experience the right photoperiod, encouraging proper growth patterns and flowering.

Light Uniformity:

Let's shed some light on the importance of light uniformity! Ensuring consistent light intensity is crucial for uniform plant growth. While maintaining the exact same intensity on every plant can be challenging, we have two key parameters to help achieve uniformity: proper light installation and lighting simulation.

At Nexsel, we employ advanced software like Dialux, 2D design, and utilize PPFD and IES files to create simulation plans. These simulation reports simplify the process of generating a comprehensive lighting design tailored specifically for your green wall.

We present a compelling portfolio of success stories demonstrating our expertise in green wall lighting solutions.
