When the growth rate is the only concern, LEDs at 720 Hz (1.4 ms) and 50% duty ratio with 16-h light/8-h dark photoperiod stimulated plant growth the most. When energy consumption is the major concern, using LEDs at 180 Hz (5.5 ms) and 50% duty ratio with 16-h light/8-h dark photoperiod would not significantly sacrifice plant growth, especially when energy for heat removal is also taken into account.
