LightScout UV light sensor

Explore the impact of sunburn on plants, caused by exposure to detrimental radiation within the middle-ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum (UV-B). This exposure initiates stress responses, hinders photosynthesis, and may even result in DNA damage. To counteract these effects, plants deploy natural defenses, producing chemical sunscreens like flavonoids and sinapate esters to thwart low doses of UV-B.

Enhance your plant care strategy by considering the utilization of an advanced UV sensor. This tool is designed to gauge the light quantity within the 250-400 nm range, helping you identify whether your plants face heightened levels of harmful UV radiation. It's important to note that UV-C light (200-280 nm) poses a threat capable of killing plants, but fortunately, it gets absorbed by the ozone layer in the stratosphere. UV-B light (280-315 nm) can induce fading in plant colors. UV-A light, categorized into two bands, doesn't impact plant growth within the 315-380 nm range, while the band spanning 380-400 nm signifies the onset of the photosynthesis range.

Safeguard your plants from the adverse effects of UV radiation and optimize their well-being with an efficient UV filter solution.
