SEOUL -- Samsung Electronics introduced a newly developed LED package optimized for horticulture lighting which can be easily applied to existing Samsung LED solutions.

"Our horticulture LED solutions are based on LED technologies that deliver proven levels of performance and reliability across an extensive range of lighting applications," Choi Yoon-joon, vice president of Samsung's LED Business Team, said in a statement released on Wednesday.

Samsung's "red LED" package which includes LH351B Red is optimized for enhancing growth and accelerating the photosynthesis process of plants. It enriches the blooming of flowers and allows farmers to easily control temperatures in almost any greenhouse environment.

Because LEDs are more power efficient than conventional white-light sources, they are used in a variety of industries including urban farming and horticulture. According to Yole, a France-based market research firm, the global horticultural LED lighting market will rise from 3.8 billion US dollars in 2017 to six billion in 2020.
