Original Abstract

The article deals with illumination plants and refers to differences in illumination if the lighting system is designed for optimum plant growth or for the best visual appearance. The common denominator in these both cases is energy consumption, which should be minimized. The main part of the article is dedicated to the illumination in growth chambers. Where the choice of a suitable light source plays a crucial role for the later development of cultivated plants. Spectral sensitivity of plants is vastly different from the spectral sensitivity of the human eye. Therefore it is necessary to choose light sources with different spectral distributions for good growth of flora. The most appropriate types of resource not only in terms of energy efficiency are discussed in this article.
