The article is devoted to the design and specifics of the operation of an LED variable irradiation installation for growing plants. The peculiarity of the proposed installation is the periodically changing intensity of irradiation, achieved by alternately switching on and off LED radiation sources. This approach allows you to reduce the power of the power source, which leads to a reduction in the cost of the installation design, improve the quality of the products obtained, thanks to uniform irradiation of plants and reduce the energy intensity of the growing process.
