LED Lights Were Used in Vegetable Laboratory

Reportedly, Netherlands-based PlantLab has taken advantage of red and blue LED lights to produce beans, corn, peppers, zucchini, tomatoes and strawberries in an automated indoor farm, which could lead to more efficient indoor food production, especially in climates with short sunlight hours.

Netherlands-based PlantLab believes their work with LED technology could lead to more efficient indoor food production and allow more growing options for farmers in climates with shorter daylight hours.

Indoor farmers have been using LED lights for years because of their tendency to increase photosynthesis in plants and their ability to remove some bacteria and viruses. They are also a lot more energy efficient than traditionally grow lights. But probably the main reason LEDs are popular with indoor plant growers is that they provide just the right frequency to encourage growth.

According to the project overview, “Plants mainly need blue and red light for photosynthesis and far-red, a color not even visible to the human eye but visible to the plant. The relationships between the light colors determine the form of the plant.”

    Asides from minimizing soil erosion, their new system of indoor farming has the added benefits of reducing water waste by 95% and eliminating pesticide use.

Can 3D Glasses Harm Your Eyes?

    3D glasses are thought to be a safe way to view 3D entertainment but there are some reports of people experiencing some negative side effects from wearing them.

    An interesting question from a staff member today that was asked... "If my child wears 3D glasses all the time, can it harm their eyes?" Answer - No. 3D glasses are made with special lenses (polarized) to design to present different images to the right and left eye. The 'splitting' effect only occurs in the very special environment of a movie theatre. Out in the real world 3D glasses only just act like slightly tinted glasses. Some effect (not 3D but screen blackening) may be seen from polarized lenses if you look at a LCD display.

    Some people have reported feeling nauseous while wearing 3D glasses and other people have complained of headaches and general unpleasantness. This could be because of the content of what is being viewed itself rather than the glasses as 3D TV and films tend to be high paced and quite unsettling to watch.
