He added: "our plant lights are the best complement to natural light during the day. Plants can be fully grown for a whole year.". This project highlights the international development trend of plant lighting, that is, to achieve self-sufficiency in agricultural products instead of imports, reduce food mileage, and guarantee freshness".
