Collection: 540nm

Light at 540nm falls within the green spectrum and has applications in a few areas:

• LED Lighting (Limited): While still within the range of human eye sensitivity, 540nm light is slightly less efficient for illumination compared to wavelengths closer to the peak (520-570nm). It might be used in some accent lighting or for creating a specific greenish hue, but isn't as common for general lighting applications.

• Biotechnology and Research:

  • Fluorescence Microscopy: Similar to shorter green wavelengths, 540nm light can be used as an excitation source in fluorescence microscopy. Certain fluorescent proteins or dyes may be excited by this wavelength,allowing researchers to visualize specific features within cells.

• Plant Science (Potential): Similar to 525nm and 530nm, 540nm light can contribute to some photosynthetic processes in plants. Horticultural lighting systems might incorporate LEDs with this wavelength to provide a more complete light spectrum for certain plants.

• Complementary Color Mixing: In the world of colored lighting and displays, 540nm (green) light can be combined with red light (around 620-750nm) to create various shades of yellow or white light. This approach is used in some LED lighting products.
