PHOTONIC ENGINE SYSTEM FOR ACTUATING THE PHOTOSYNTHETIC ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN
FIG1 is a side perspective view of a lighting assembly in a controlled environment for growing plant life
For example only, shown in FIG1 is a horticultural assembly 10 can be at any location, including outdoors, in a green house, indoors or the like. The assembly 10 includes a container or space 12 where plants 14 that are typically planted in side by side relation are located. In one embodiment the container 12 is provided that is an incubating device that in one embodiment is generally rectangular in shape having first and second sidewalls 15 and 16 in paralleled spaced relation secured to top and bottom walls 18 and 20 also in paralleled spaced relation and a back wall 22 to form and hollow interior cavity 24. A front wall or door is hingedly secured to a sidewall 15 or 16 to allow access to the interior cavity 24 of the body 12. Preferably the door is made of a transparent material to allow the interior cavity 24 to be seen, though in another embodiment the door completely encloses the interior cavity 24.

['1. A horticulture system for growing plants under artificial lighting in an environment, the system comprising: at least one lighting device, the at least one lighting device having a first lighting element (32a) configured to emit light at a wavelength that is within 20 nanometers of a peak absorption of a pigment of a plant (14) positioned in spaced relation to the at least one lighting device to receive light emitted by the at least one lighting device, characterized in that the horticultural system is configured such that light from the first lighting element is pulsed with emission during first, second and third lighting intervals with a first dark interval provided between the first and second lighting intervals and a second dark interval provided between the second and third lighting intervals; and the horticulture system further comprises at least one further lighting element configured to emit a background light with an intensity lower than an intensity of the light emitted by the first lighting element during the first, second and third lighting interval.']
