The aim of this study was to confirm that effects of supplemental LED illumination on a strawberry yield and fruit quality when strawberry grown on a bottom bed to be deficient ambient light due to shading of a upper bed during cultivation by a two-bed bench system. A strawberry was cultivated as a drip irrigation system in the two-bed bench system filled with a strawberry exclusive media from October 2015 to January 2016. The upper and the bottom bed without LED illumination for growth of a strawberry were using as a control. For LED light treatments, from 10 am to 4 pm, we illuminated LEDs as $100{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ of light intensity by using blue, red, and mixing LED (blue plus red) on the strawberry plants of the bottom bed. In the yield of strawberry fruit, the strawberry grown on the bottom bed treated with the blue LED significantly increased compared with that of the bottom bed part control, and increased to by near 90% of the strawberry output of the upper bed part control. The soluble sugar content of strawberry fruit grown on the upper bed part control and on the bottom bed illuminated with blue or mixed LED was higher than that of red LED and the control of the bottom bed. The content of anthocyanin was the highest increased in the strawberry grown on the upper bed part control that received a lot of ambient light, however when comparing only the bottom bed, strawberry fruits grown on all LED treatments were higher than that of the control. Therefore, we considered that using of the blue LED light on the bottom bed of two-bed bench system during strawberry cultivation is advantageous for the increase of yield and improvement of fruit quality.

The artificial light sources for growth of plant are usually high-pressure sodium lamp, metal haloids lamp, and fluorescent light; however, these light sources have relatively weaker Red and Blue lights that are necessary for growth of plants. Especially the effect of Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD) is pointed out as the weakness. Meanwhile, LED light source can be selected by specific wavelength to greatly improve the effect of PPFD. In this regard, this paper aims to investigate the promotion of plant growth by measuring photosynthetic photon flux density (hereafter referred to as PPFD) according to changes in light quality of the LED light sources. Towards this end, LED light sources for plant growth were produced with 4 kinds of mono-chromatic lights and 6 kinds of combined lights by mixing red, blue, green and white lights. A comparative analysis was conducted to investigate the effects of optical properties and PPFD on plants (green leaf lettuce) using the produced light sources. The results monochromatic light has fastest growth rate, but plant growth conditions have poor. This being so, mixed light is suitable for the green leaf lettuce.

The incorporation of Shiitake culture into sawdust is a widely utilized technique that can assist in reducing the cost and time consumption associated with oak cultivation. In sawdust cultivation, browning of the surface mycelia is an important stage with respect to the utility and longevity of the sawdust media. Surface browning forms a protective coating on the substrate, which can inhibit the invasion of pathogens and suppress water evaporation. Several different light sources (red LED, white LED, blue LED, and fluorescent light) were used and the intensity of illumination was carefully controlled (1.5, 10.5, $20.5{\mu}mol/m^2s$ for LEDs and 10, 100, 300 lux for the fluorescent light) to induce browning. The light sources were regulated via a 1 h on/off cycle in a controlled room environment at a temperature of $20^{\circ}C$, 60% humidity, and 1200 ppm $CO_2$ concentration for 60days. The browning effect varied depending on the source and the intensity of illumination. This effect was most effectively induced at $1.5{\mu}mol/m^2s$ for the red and blue LEDs. All light sources induced less browning at the highest intensity of illumination. This indicates that intensity values higher than $20.5{\mu}mol/m^2s$ in the case of the LEDs and 300 lux for the fluorescent light are not effective. After harvesting of the fruit bodies, we measured the weight, length, and width of the pileus and stipe in addition to their chromaticity and hardness. Treatment with $1.5{\mu}mol/m^2s$ blue LED produced the best harvest with the highest average chromaticity, weight (21.2 g), stipe length (30.8 mm), and hardness (377.9 g), with a fine length and width of the pileus.

In this study, we analyzed the growth characteristics of red lettuce under Light-emitting diode (LED) light environment as well as the change of vitamin C and anthocyanins of lettuce. We made five monochromatic light treatments (red 647 nm, 622 nm, blue 463 nm, 450 nm, White), six mixed red (R) and blue (B) light treatments (R : B = 9 : 1, 8 : 2, 7 : 3, 6 : 4, 5 : 5) and red + white, and three light treatments made according to photoperiod of LED with lighting sources ratio of red : blue (R : B = 8 : 2(18/06 h, 15/09 h, 12/12 h)). It was composed of totally 14 control beds. As a result, the red lettuce the most developed leaf height, leaf numbers and fresh weight under red single light, root length and leaf developed when grown under blue single light. Therefore, red light were related to above part of the lettuce, blue light were related to the growth of the underground part of lettuce. Case of the mixed light, leaf height, leaf numbers, fresh/dry weight of above and underground part were highest red + white light and root length and chlorophyll content were highest under red 7 : 3 blue light. Result of growing investigation by photoperiod, the red lettuce were considered to be most effective in 15/09 h (on/off). The content of anthocyanins; the single light source, mixed light and light irradiation period were highest under blue light (463 nm), red 7 : 3 blue and 18/06 h (on/off) light irradiation, respectively. The vitamin C showed the lowest content of $1.26mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ under the white light, but showed the greatest content of $3.02mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ for the control group.

The influence of red lead($Pb_3O_4$) to curing and formation reaction properties when it was added in positive material of lead acid battery for vehicle use has been investigated. At the results, it was confirmed that the addition of red lead led 4BS crystal size to be smaller and increased the rates of 4BS formation and Pb consumption. Consequently the curing time was shortened to half compared with that of red lead-free one. In addition to this, the lead acid battery prepared by adding red lead showed 14% higher efficiency at the life cycle test than that without red lead.

Light characteristics of the monochromatic red(R), blue(B), green(G) and white(W) and the mixed LED (B-R LED) were investigated by light control a Spectrometer-MMS1 and an illuminometer. The power consumption of each LED was 1W and R LED has five wavelength bands(600nm, 640nm, 660nm, 680nm, 750nm). The light intensity of each LED was changed in a range 10~100%. As a results, the wavelength and the spectrum distribution of R LED increase with increasing light intensity but the wavelength of B, G, W LED decreases. It was found that illumination of each mononochromatic and B-R LED increases linearly with increasing light intensity. It was confirmed that the illumination intensity of R-B light has greater values than those obtained by monochromatic light at the same conditions.

This study aims to recommend the proper Color rendering index (CRI), the Correlated Color Temperature (CCT), and illuminance levels of Light-Emitting Diode (LED) lighting based on the analysis of the criteria of the current CRI, the CCT, and illuminance levels in merchandising spaces with LED lighting conditions. It would be a basic material to apply in line with user preference for LED merchandising lighting. To this end, it examines relevant literature review on the experiments designed to test whether lighting characteristics affect brightness perception, color appearance, and pleasantness. Highly saturated colors appear brighter than low saturated colors. Two lighting applications - grocery and clothing shop - were created in elaborating the effect of LED lighting characteristics of CRI on color appearance and the CCT and illuminance on pleasantness. The findings show that the criteria of CIE Ra<80 are appropriate to provide better color appearance of illuminated products in terms of LED lighting that can enhance color saturation, particularly for the red color. Furthermore, 2700 K and less than 500 lux for grocery, 4000 K and more than 500 lux for clothing shop are found to be the proper the CCT and illuminance levels respectively to bring better preference under LED lighting.

The food functional properties of Pleurotus eryngii cultivated with different wavelengths of light-emitting diode (LED) light were analyzed in this study. The levels of total soluble solids of Pleurotus eryngii increased with all the LED lights, except mixed LED light ($B^*R$, $B^*G$ and $R^*G$). Thirty one kinds of components were detected by analyzing the free amino acids. The total free amino acid contents had a slightly higher tendency in the control group, but the ratios of eight essential amino acids among the total amino acids of Pleurotus eryngii cultivated under all the LED lights, including the blue light (blue, $B^*R$, $B^*G$ and $B^*R^*G^*U$) and the green light, were higher than that in the control group. K was the highest-content of mineral, and Mn was the lowest-content. The Ca content increased through cultivation under all the LED lights, except the blue light, but the Fe content (under the green and $B^*R$ lights), K content (under the red and UV-A lights) and Mg content (under the $R^*G$, UV-A and red lights) increased under the exclusive LED light. The total phenolic compounds increased by cultivation under all the LED lights, except the UV-A and mixed lights ($R^*G$ and $B^*R^*G^*U$). The DPPH radical scavenging activity was also improved by all the LED lights, except the mixed light ($R^*G$).
