Abstract:
A vertical farming layer structure comprising: an underlying support for supporting a plurality of farmed plants; a light-reflective upper surface positioned above and facing the underlying support, the light-reflective upper surface being adapted to reflect light by diffuse reflection; and a plurality of light-emitting devices positioned between the underlying support and the light-reflective upper surface, each light-emitting device being positioned to emit light along a respective optical axis oriented towards the light-reflective upper surface such that light emitted from the light-emitting device is at least partially diffusely reflected off of the light-reflective upper surface to reach the plants supported on the underlying support.

Claim (Index 19):
A current control system for controlling electric current fed to at least one light-emitting diode, the system comprising:\n a thermometer configured for monitoring temperature of the at least one light-emitting diode; a light sensor configured for monitoring light intensity emitted from the at least one light emitting diode; a variable current source operatively connected to the at least one light-emitting diode and configured for providing a variable level of current to the at least one light-emitting diode; and a controller operatively connected to the thermometer, the light sensor, and the variable current source and configured for:\n receiving the monitored temperature and the monitored light intensity; and \n controlling the variable current source to adjust a current fed to the at least one light-emitting diode according to:\n if the monitored light intensity is below a predetermined target light intensity and the monitored temperature is below a predetermined temperature threshold, increasing the level of current provided to the at least one light-emitting diode; and \n if the monitored temperature exceeds the predetermined temperature threshold, decreasing the level of current provided to the at least one light-emitting diode.
