2. Artificial sunlight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_sunlight

   Artificial sunlight is useful in treating and preventing seasonal affective disorder (also known as winter depression, which causes depression symptoms specifically in winter), [3] and delayed sleep phase syndrome, in which the circadian rhythm (the rhythmic alternation between daylight and nighttime behavior and bodily states) is disturbed and the person falls asleep much later than he or she ...

3. Solar simulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_simulator

   Xenon arc lamps are the most common type of lamp both for continuous and flashed solar simulators. They are a type of high-intensity discharge (HID) lamp where light is produced from an electric arc through ionized, high-pressure xenon gas. [15] These lamps offer high intensities and an unfiltered spectrum which matches reasonably well to sunlight.

4. Grow light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grow_light

   Ficus plant grown under a white LED grow light. A grow light is an electric light that can help plants grow. Grow lights either attempt to provide a light spectrum similar to that of the sun, or to provide a spectrum that is more tailored to the needs of the plants being cultivated (typically a varying combination of red and blue light, which generally appears pink to purple to the human eye).

5. Full-spectrum light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-spectrum_light

   While plants have adapted to the reception of real sunlight, full spectrum light bulbs often mimic the emphasis of wavelengths of sunlight enough that plants are stimulated to grow. Full spectrum lighting also enhances the natural coloration of fish, plants and other aquatic elements in an aquarium, which are often discolored by artificial lights.

6. Phototropism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phototropism

   The light from the lamp (1.) functions as a detectable change in the plant's environment. As a result, the plant exhibits a reaction of phototropism--directional growth (2.) toward the light stimulus. Auxin distribution controls phototropism. 1. Sunlight strikes the plant from directly above. Auxin (pink dots) encourages growth straight up. 2 ...

7. Artificial photosynthesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_photosynthesis

   Artificial photosynthesis is a chemical process that biomimics the natural process of photosynthesis.The term artificial photosynthesis is used loosely, referring to any scheme for capturing and then storing energy from sunlight by producing a fuel, specifically a solar fuel. [1]
