Patent ID: 8738160

Claim:
An apparatus for metabolism manipulation of life forms using spectral output comprising: at least one array of diffuse LED light sources, having a predetermined number of metabolic manipulating spectral emissions, for sending one or more environmental signals selected from the group consisting of: day/night cycles, seasonal cycles, competitive signals and harsh condition preparedness, so that said predetermined number of metabolic manipulating spectral emissions is compatible with at least one photosensitive characteristic of the life forms for manipulating a metabolic process thereof; a remotely programmable microcontroller, for controlling said spectral emissions in a desired manner, operatively connected to said at least one array, by selectively sending on commands, off commands and intensity commands to said at least one array, software for driving said microcontroller, a memory for storing said software, a power source operatively connected to the at least one array of diffuse LED light sources, and a graphic user interface for an operator input to said apparatus.
