Sunlight is a necessity for plant growth and a certain amount of it helps us get our daily dose of Vitamin D. It also heats our water and creates electricity in the latest solar applications. But what happens when there is no sunlight or not enough? We turn to scientifically created light sources. Starting back to the first Edison created light bulb our research has harnessed various intensities and places on the light spectrum to create light that can substitute for natural light.
Grow Lights
Grow lights were invented and brought into small time use years ago. Folks have been able to produce small crops of the legal and illegal kind for years in their basements or unused rooms of the house. Of course these traditional lights take up a lot of expensive electricity and high electric bills were a sure way to catch illegal farming operations. States and countries where light is not as plentiful as others are now watching the proliferation of grow LEDs which will take much less electricity and are on target to make big steps in major food production. Vertical farming added to LED technology made for a first this year as an indoor farm out produced an outdoor farm of comparable size in the State of Indiana. Scientists are researching crop-specific lighting and are helped by the fact that these lights can be in the cool light spectrum which allows them to be close to the actual foliage itself, saving space and diffusion of light.
Laser Light
Laser light also has made leaps in the growth sector. After being mainstream in the cutting and destroying mode, their cool light or red wavelength is now becoming mainstream for healing and growth. The laser hair comb or laser hair brush has been making waves in the hair industry. Laser hair therapy actually increases blood flow in the scalp area and targets the base of the follicles to stimulate production and length of the hair growing phase. Any viable follicle will then produce a stronger, shinier hair shaft much as plant production is increased with LED light. Pulsing laser light is now the optimum combination of duration and frequency for a natural hair loss treatment.
Folks with the beginnings of balding or thinning hair can purchase a simple laser hair brush that runs on rechargeable batteries and needs to be used only for 15-20 minutes every other day for optimum results. Nutreve Personal Hair Therapy Laser products have the most “in-brush” lasers and they pulse as seen to be most effective for the most growth. Their brush has an ergonomic handle and the company even offers a stand for “hands-free” use! Very clever. A smooth, easy to clean, curved surface on the device makes sure that each laser light is focused at the optimum depth to reach the follicle base for the optimum amount of head coverage per treatment. Priced at about $600 for a one-time fee for this in-home thinning hair treatment device, you can feel good about your hair again and the environment as you use less gas and time than traditional salon treatment types.
Laser light is the new benefit for hair!
