Is it possible to find grow lights that not only respond effectively to the required functionality, but also offer a pleasant design? Obviously, yes: Knikerboker Solaria has created an original, handcrafted collection that combines these two aspects in the best possible way. Knikerboker has made the search for new and unusual lighting solutions not only an art form, but a true lifestyle. And in the field of artificial lighting for the plant world, he has also created an exclusive line of products that respond to the functionality required with the elegance of a refined design. Here is Solaria, a collection of mercury vapour lamps that are perfect for stimulating photosynthesis and keeping energy consumption low. Inspired by a typical industrial design, the collection includes wall, table and pendant lamps to satisfy every need and find different solutions. Mercury lamps are one of the most widely used solutions for artificial irradiation of plants. Firstly, because they allow to stimulate the necessary photosynthetic processes of many different types of plants, illuminating them intensely and with a well distributed diffusion. But above all, they are a choice that pays off in terms of duration, with an average life of more than 20,000 hours.
When plants inside a house or any other type of building are not able to benefit from sufficient sunlight, it is essential to use an artificial lighting system that can, at best, simulate the sun’s rays. A lack of uniformity in the irradiation of vegetation can lead to numerous degenerative phenomena, such as the reduction of the surface of the leaves, the weakening of the stems, the general alteration of the pigmentation, the curvature of the stems, the elongation of the shoots. But also beware of excessive lighting, which can cause just as many problems in plant growth.
Where plants cannot benefit from sufficient sunlight inside a house or any other type of building, it is essential to use an artificial lighting system that can, at best, simulate the sun’s rays.

But also beware of excessive lighting, which can cause just as many problems in plant growth.
It is also important to choose the lamp according to the needs of the plants we are dealing with: some prefer diffused light, others shaded, still others partial or total sunlight. In this sense, it is also good to calculate in advance the distance needed between the plant and the light source.
