Algaculture
Lighting and spectrum control are essential in algae production for optimizing growth and maximizing photosynthetic efficiency. Tailored lighting solutions, using Biolumen LED technologies, will target specific wavelengths that enhance algae development. By using the correct light spectrum and intensity, farmers can replicate ideal light conditions, influencing algae metabolism and productivity. This control aids in improving yield, promoting targeted compound synthesis, and increasing the overall efficiency of algae cultivation systems.
Algae and Light
Algae cultivation has experienced remarkable advancements, driven by the demand for sustainable biofuels, nutritional supplements, and efficient carbon capture solutions, making it an increasingly viable and environmentally friendly industry.
This progress significantly contributes to a circular economy by reducing reliance on traditional energy and food sources, as well as mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.

The photosynthetic pigments in algae, primarily chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids, each have distinct absorption peaks across the light spectrum.
Chlorophyll a is most efficient in absorbing light in the blue (430-450 nm) and red (660-680 nm) wavelengths, while chlorophyll b absorbs in the blue (460-480 nm) and red-orange (640-660 nm) regions. Carotenoids, which absorb in the blue range (400-500 nm), play a protective role by dissipating excess light energy and preventing photodamage.
