Modular indoor farm lighting system
The present invention is a modular indoor farm lighting system. The lighting system is comprised of a frame comprising two or more retaining members and one or more support members. The retaining members are adapted to retain corrugated panels. The corrugated panels have light emitting diode (LED) bars disposed within their troughs. Each LED bar will be provided onto a combiner board. The combiner boards will provide each LED bar with power, and hold 4 LED bars in the preferred embodiment. The system may be hung by a carabiner and rope system to be attached to the vertical components of the support members.
1. An indoor farm light system comprising:
a reflective corrugated panel;
a circuit board being directly mounted to the reflective corrugated panel;
a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), on an LED bar, directly mounted to the circuit board;
a combiner board connected to the circuit board, the combiner board physically attached to each LED bar;
a means on the combiner board for receiving constant voltage or constant current DC power from a remote source; and
a frame means for holding the reflective corrugated panel;
wherein the frame means comprises two or more support members, generally T shaped, and two or more retaining members, wherein the two or more support members are oriented perpendicular to the two or more retaining members, and separate the two or more retaining members, said two or more retaining members being adapted to receive the reflective corrugated panel.
2. The indoor farm light system of claim 1 , wherein the combiner board is configured to distribute power to at least one light emitting diode bar.
3. The indoor farm light system of claim 2 , wherein the combiner board comprises of a common negative anode.
4. The indoor farm light system of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting diode bars comprise of one or more channels.
5. The indoor farm light system of claim 4 , wherein the one or more channels of the light emitting diode bars may be controlled separately.
6. The indoor farm light system of claim 1 , wherein the retaining members comprise a cross-section containing at least one generally U-shaped portion.
7. The indoor farm light system of claim 6 , wherein the U-shaped portion of the cross-section of the retaining member is adapted to retain at the reflective corrugated panel.
8. An indoor farm light system comprising:
a reflective corrugated panel;
a circuit board being directly mounted to the reflective corrugated panel;
a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), on an LED bar, directly mounted to the circuit board;
a combiner board connected to the circuit board, the combiner board physically attached to each LED bar;
a means on the combiner board for receiving constant voltage or constant current DC power from a remote source; and
a frame means for holding the reflective corrugated panel.
9. The indoor farm light system of claim 1 wherein the reflective corrugated panel comprises aluminum.
10. The indoor farm light system of claim 9 , wherein the reflective corrugated panel comprises 6063 T5 Aluminum.
