Collection: 590nm

Light at 590nm falls within the yellow-orange region of the visible spectrum and has a key application:

• Horticulture (Plant Growth): This wavelength plays a crucial role in photosynthesis by stimulating chlorophyll absorption and promoting carbohydrate synthesis in plants. It's particularly effective for promoting flowering and fruiting in certain plant species. Grow lights for greenhouses or indoor gardening setups often incorporate LEDs that emit around 590nm alongside other wavelengths to provide a more complete light spectrum beneficial for plant growth.

While less prominent, there are a few other potential applications:

• Biomedical Research (Emerging): Some ongoing research explores the use of light around 590nm for phototherapy in treating skin conditions like psoriasis and vitiligo. However, this area is still under development.

• Complementary Color Mixing: In specific lighting design scenarios, 590nm orange light can be combined with blue light (around 450nm) to create specific shades of white light. This approach finds limited use in specialized lighting applications.
