Lighting Recommendations
You will notice we have changed our light level recommendations from being in units of footcandles to micromoles per square meter per second (µmol . m -2. sec -1 ). This allows us to provide more accurate light recommendations while using the latest in light measurement technology. Footcandles are a unit of measure of how the human eye perceives light while µmol . m -2. sec -1 are the unit of measure of light plants perceive and utilize for growth. Here are some common recommendations in footcandles and the approximate equivalent in micromoles for comparison:
