[0002] Currently, most plant lights on the market use semiconductor lighting principles, with plant lights specifically designed to supplement light for the growth of flowers, vegetables, and other plants. Studies show that the undersides of leaves and rhizomes can also be used for photosynthesis. However, plants such as indoor flowers grow larger and more lush over time, so some locations lack light, which hinders their growth. Currently, plant growth lights are artificial light sources that use LEDs (light-emitting diodes) as light sources to create the lighting conditions required for plant photosynthesis. Some current LED plant lights are mainly used in environments without sunlight and can be used as a substitute for sunlight, allowing plants to grow and develop normally or better.In the greenhouse environment where plants are grown, they often come into contact with water, which requires the luminaires to have certain waterproof properties. At the same time, luminaires must be flexible, convenient, and quick to install. Object of the invention
