AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Current horticulture and floriculture systems face challenges in optimizing lighting for plant growth while minimizing energy consumption, as they often require constant full lighting regardless of plant size or growth phase, leading to energy waste.
Method used
The system includes means for detecting the extension of the lighting area and lighting devices that adjust the width of the light beam based on the detected area, ensuring that only the necessary area is lit, thereby reducing energy consumption.
Benefits of technology
This approach allows for efficient energy use by ensuring that only the plant-covered area is illuminated, optimizing growth conditions while minimizing electrical energy consumption.

Abstract
System for plant horticulture and floriculture comprising at least one cultivation compartment (100), in which to cultivate said plants (3), which cultivation compartment (100) has a top wall (1) and a bottom wall (2) comprising a cultivation surface (20) on which to cultivate the plants (3). The top wall (1) has one or more lighting devices (11) for generating a light beam (C, D, E, F G), which light beam is projected from the top wall (1) towards the cultivation surface (20), so as to radiate the plants (3) to be cultivated, generating a lighting area of a given extension on the surface of the plant (3). Furthermore, said cultivation compartment (100) comprises means for detecting the extension of the lighting area, said lighting devices (11) having means for adjusting the width of the light beam ((CC,, DD,, EE,, FF,, G G)),, which adjustment means are configured to increase / decrease the width of the light beam based on the extension of the lighting area.
