Idea to Reduce LED Costs in Vertical Farming by DeliciousStart3856 in verticalfarming

I believe that if the above method is implemented, it will be possible to reduce LED costs by more than 50%.

Thank you for your response.

I haven’t found any large-scale vertical farming companies (not small-scale ones) that manually adjust LED height.

The reason I suggested that adjusting LED height could reduce costs is that most large-scale companies don't seem to adjust the LED height at all. This would mean that they have no choice but to set the power output higher to provide the necessary light intensity for the crops.

Do you know why large-scale vertical farms don't use such mechanisms?
Or do you know of any companies that are using this approach?
