Abstract
A system for simulating and implementing lighting scenarios for driving a horticultural light source in accordance with illumination instructions. The system comprises: an input module receiving simulation parameters; a graphical user interface for selecting, creating, editing, re-ordering, duplicating and/or replicating a virtual lighting scenario; a lamp profile acquisition module acquiring a reference profile of the light source and generating virtual illumination instructions for the virtual lighting scenario; a scenario simulation module simulating the execution of the virtual lighting scenario, for the horticultural light source, in accordance with the simulation parameters and for a specific time period and generating therefrom simulation results including integral indicators displayable on the graphical user interface; and an output module receiving a designated lighting scenario selected based on the simulation results and outputting the illumination instructions representative of the designated scenario. A method for simulating and implementing lighting scenarios is also provided.
