Investigation of the effect of UV-LEDs on plant secondary metabolites

We wish to explore methods to make indoor plant growth more efficient. In many industries (especially the herb and vegetable greenhouse business), industry uses inefficient lighting options because they seek to supplement the visible light spectrum with UV wavelengths. We propose to use LED lamps that include UV bulbs to test whether this lamp will be a benefit to indoor growers.
