     • When sunlight strikes a plant, specialized proteins known as light-harvesting complexes absorb light energy in the form of photons, with the help of pigments such as chlorophyll. These photons drive the production of sugar molecules, which store the energy for later use.

   How do plants use light?

   • Plants have a number of sophisticated uses for light that go far beyond their ability to photosynthesize low-molecular-weight sugars using only carbon dioxide, light, and water. Photomorphogenesis is the growth and development of plants in response to light. It allows plants to optimize their use of light and space.

   How do plants use light to fuel their growth?

   • Here you can find out how plants use light to fuel their growth, how they're adapted to different light levels, and how you can make sure your plants are getting the right amount. Even the most shade-tolerant plants need some light to thrive, and this is because plants use sunlight to make their own food, in a process called photosynthesis.

   Are grow lights good for light therapy?

   • In addition, grow lights that are intense enough for light therapy are usually so hot that to sit near enough to them would cause burns on the skin. The biggest problem in finding an appropriate grow light for light therapy is that they are designed for growing plants, not for light therapy.

   How do plants respond to light?

   • Plants respond to light in more ways than do humans, and utilize more than a dozen photoreceptors to direct their growth (Fig. 2d). They live in communities and respond to light reflected from neighbouring plants. The light that reaches lower leaves is filtered by upper leaves.

   How do plants sense light?

   • Plants sense light both through specific photoreceptors as well as by monitoring the metabolic consequences of photosynthesis 4, 5, thereby allowing light to be used as a predictive environmental indicator as well as an energy source.

   How does light affect plants?

   • Light also regulates human circadian, neuroendocrine and neurobehavioural physiology 4, 5, and has an even greater effect on plants, which have more photoreceptors to process light than do humans.

   • Is A Grow Light Enough?

   In order to consider whether grow lights are appropriate for light therapy, it is important to understand exactly what light therapy is. Patients sit at a prescribed distance from a box containing fluorescent bulbs for a certain period at a certain time each day. The light is on and positioned slightly above eye level to mimic the direction of sunl...

   The intensity of a light therapy box is given in lux. Lux is an international unit of measure of light falling on an object at a certain distance.The recommended intensity for light therapy boxes is 10,000 lux. It does not matter what kind of light is used, such as: 1. full-spectrum or incandescent 2. as long as the intensity is sufficient 3. [acco...

   Choosing a grow light for light therapy, therefore, seems possible. However, grow lights are measured and sold according to their wattage. Therefore, it would be necessary to convert from watts to lux to find a grow light with enough intensity for light therapy. The problem is that wattage is a measure of power coming from the light, and lux is a m...

   Schlau-Cohen fires lasers at the proteins and uses special microscopes to understand how they interact with light—how they absorb it, what happens to the light as it moves around inside the proteins, and how some of it gets converted into heat.

    Plants are autotrophs, meaning that they are self-nourishing (Greek autos = self and trophe = nutrition). Specifically, plants are photoautotrophs, because they use the energy from light to produce organic molecules with which they build their cells and store energy.
