In December 2017, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued a report evaluating the energy-savings potential of LED lighting in horticultural applications. The DOE concluded that LED lighting offers 24–30 percent energy savings per square foot of grow area. If all horticultural lighting switched to LEDs, total market energy savings would reach 40 percent.
Another research report published by the Lighting Research Center (LRC) in May 2018, however, went further than the DOE report in its analysis and, as a result, produced different conclusions.
