Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a lighting device, in particular to a lighting device with easy installation functionality.


2. Description of the Prior Art

Currently, most currently available plant lights are based on semiconductor lighting principles, specifically designed to supplement the growth of plants such as flowers or vegetables. Research has shown that the undersides of leaves, roots and stems are also beneficial for photosynthesis. However, for indoor plants such as flowers, over time, they grow taller and lusher, leading to some areas lacking light exposure, which affects their growth. In the currently available technology, LED plant growth lights use LEDS (light-emitting diodes) as the light source, providing artificial light conditions necessary for plant photosynthesis. Presently, some LED plant lights are primarily used in environments lacking sunlight, acting as sunlight to enable plants to grow and develop normally or better. In greenhouse environments where plants are grown, the lights frequently come into contact with water, necessitating that the lights have a certain degree of waterproof performance. Additionally, the lights need to be installed flexibly and conveniently.
