4盏迷你的生长灯——让我希望自己也是一株绿色的植物
4 Minimal Grow Lights That Make Me Wish I Were Green

由专筑网朱王倩，韩平，武晨编译

昏暗的公寓和充满生机的室内绿化从来不矛盾，但它们也算不上协调。尤其是在冬季或者没有窗户采光的空间，对于绿色植物的养护，你可真的需要具备园艺家一般的种植技术。最近，我常常抱怨的SAD灯光，甚至对于缺乏有吸引力的小规模植物护理系统感到惊讶。那里有许多奇怪的DIY草本花园，但大多数未考虑光，因此需要你着手考虑并找到像罗勒属植物的种子之类的东西。还有很多采用了“简易家庭水栽法”系统。但如果你没有空间或对实用塑料罩，大体积的荧光灯或复杂的兰花坦克没有耐心，那你的选择就会很少。
   
我发现精心设计的室内植物照明系统的以下四个例子各有点不同，但每个设计的概念都是节省空间，保持非常干净的线条以及为现实生活的室内植物（首先）提供有用的光。

Dark apartments and flourishing indoor greenery aren't mutually exclusive, but they aren't really friends. For winter times or studios with nowhere-facing windows, real plants can take more technology than a green thumb. Much like my recent gripe about SAD lights, I've been surprised at the lack of attractive small scale systems for plant care. There are zillions of chintzy DIY herb gardens out there, but most don't take light into account and do assume you desperately need handholding to find things like basil seeds. There are also plenty of ideas for "discreet home hydroponics" systems out there. All this to say there are options, but if you don't have room or patience for utilitarian plastic hoods, bulky fluorescents, or complicated orchid tanks, the options do get slim.
The four examples I've found for compact and nicely designed indoor plant lighting systems are each a bit different, but each take on the issues of space-saving, very clean lines, and (above all) providing useful light to real life houseplants.   


Kusamono, large

第一个是由Florent Corier设计的Kusamono灯，这是一个大于一般小公寓通常使用的灯。但我认为，它倾斜的形状和纤薄的外形使它更适合宿舍、客厅、办公室和其他宽敞的空间，比如可以弥补一个未充分利用的墙壁或书桌。

The first is the Kusamono light designed by Florent Corier. It's a bit bigger than many small apartments might initially want to make space for. However I'd argue that it's lean shape and slim profile make it a better fit for dorms, living rooms, offices, and other wide spaces that you're likely to have an underutilized wall or desk.

第二个设计来自Bulbo品牌，他们的植物灯与主流市场不同，更注重开拓小众市场。他们的Cynara灯是由一个后安装灯泡和反射器组成，旨在让你和你的植物栖息在同一个容器里。灯的配色方案和形式可根据在家里、在你感兴趣的居所，利用7瓦灯泡体现红、白、蓝三种色调方案，有助于模拟户外光线让植物更好的成长。他们还制作杆加长器，以防万一你换植物，或你的绿色伙伴在照射下生长得太高。

Newer on the scene is the brand Bulbo, who are making a niche out of design-minded plant lighting. Their Cynara lamp is a post-mounted bulb and reflector, intended to perch in the same pot as your plant itself. Its color scheme and form would be at home in your pinteresting abode, and the 7 watt bulb incorporates the three tone red/white/blue light scheme that helps simulate outdoor light for better growing. They also make pole lengtheners in case you switch plants, or your green buddy grows too tall for the light.   


Bulbo Cynarra, small and large


Bulbo的独立选择是Quadra，它更直接地处理无聊和设计糟糕的家庭种植站的问题。国内大多数选择是plasticky，灯形笨重，对于许多室内植物而言太小，并且调整尴尬。 Quadra使用与大多数小型成长套件相同的灯泡，但是具有大大改进的调整系统，容易产生新高度，同时还可以固定在墙壁和天花板上。它同时也出现白金属或轻木方案，不会破坏中性的挪威现代美学。

Bulbo's standalone option is the Quadra, which more directly takes on the issues with boring and badly designed home growing stations. Most domestic options are plasticky, bulky, too-small for many houseplants, and awkward to adjust. The Quadra uses the same bulbs as most small grow kits, but with a drastically improved adjustment system that bumps the height easily, while also allowing for wall- and ceiling-fixed positions. It also comes in the contemporarily beloved white metal/light wood scheme, which won't fuck up your neutral Norwegian modern aesthetic.

类似的盒子形式，但具有更多功能的照明灯，比如Modern Sprout，它是一个可以培育很多种植物的灯箱。或者需要更多水分的植物。他们的单元大多类似部分封闭的温室，或者一个自足的灯箱，因此在家庭或办公室不会看起来奇怪。它可以单独使用或挂在墙上。全光谱LED，多个定时器设置和盒装设计将适合需仙人掌或不怎么需要水分的热带蕨类植物。多种选择性的照明级别和开或关定时器可根据您的绿色植物朋友的生长需求设置。

Similarly boxy yet versatile, Modern Sprout has a light box that's a bit more contained. Or just folks with plants who need more moisture. Their unit is a mostly closed greenhouse, and a clean example of a self-contained light box that wouldn't look jarring in a well appointed home or office. It can be used both standalone or wall-hanging. The full spectrum LED, multiple timer settings, and boxed-in design would work well for needy cacti or moisture hungry tropical ferns. Choice of lighting levels and an on/off timer let you set it for your green friends' daily needs.

我喜欢集灌溉于一体的照明系统。另外我到目前为止还没有看到任何不需要专有的种子光盘或根本误解为什么人们在室内养植物。在这方面，我有三个值得说的点。

I'd love to see lighting systems like these that also incorporate watering etc. but I have yet to see any that doesn't require proprietary seed discs or a fundamental misunderstanding of why people grow things indoors. In that vein, I have three honorable mentions.


Green Farm Cube

绿色农场立方体是一个有趣和草药治疗的理想选择。它使用静态水室和封闭系统喂养种子，并提供数字化的模糊统计数据，就像你的豆芽什么时候开始吸收营养。它的目的是用于微型绿色和快速生长的草药。总而言之，它是一个凉爽的封闭系统，看起来不像在柜台上的丢弃物，它自己可以获取所需。

The Green Farm Cube is an intriguing and idealistic option for countertop herb tending. It uses a static water chamber and enclosed system to feed seeds, and offers a digital take on vague stats like when your sprouts might be ready to eat. It's intended to be used for microgreens and quick growing herbs, which could make my squinting about the sprouting timeframe unnecessary. All in all it's a cool enclosed system that wouldn't look like garbage on a counter, provided it earns its keep.
   


Green Light, I could have loved you

绿灯，由Linda Bergroth设计，由Kekkilä制作，成为我真正想要的灯。高度可通过一个简单的针调整，托盘有一个嘴儿，使溢出和排水不成问题。配色是干净的，类似Scandi。良好的照明，好看的外形，以及我很激动它们这么容易就被我找到了。

The Green Light, designed by Linda Bergroth and produced by Kekkilä,  gets at the heart of what I really want. The height is adjustable with a simple pin, and the tray features a lip that makes spilling and drainage a non-issue. The colorway was clean and Scandi. Good lighting, good looking, and I'm pretty irritated they aren't easily found anymore.




同样，Fiskars的自成一体的药草花园有很好的保障系统：一个平衡良好的LED灯，自浇水室和一个凉爽的滑动围栏，可以帮助喜欢温暖的植物。它看起来像一个爆米花制造器，但会让你的冰草生长，也许有点拥挤，但是一个好的开始。对我而言令人遗憾的是，它赢得了红点奖并退休，却让他们的厨房刀拥有了所有的荣耀。
   
我错过了什么精彩瞬间么？我只是为了我的植物乐此不疲罢了。

Similarly, Fiskars' forray into self-contained herb gardens had a good deal of promise: a well balanced LED light, a self watering chamber, and a cool sliding enclosement that could help warmth-seeing plants. It looks like a popcorn maker but will grow your wheatgrass, maybe a little cramped but a good start. Sadly for me, it won a Red Dot and retired to let their kitchen knives have all the glory.  
Did I miss anything awesome or obvious? My plants and I are a little fatigued.
