Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An incubation chamber having a plurality of shelves for receiving plants within a horticultural growing facility. Low profile lighting devices are provided that have a body that is of limited height and utilizes at least one magnet in order to magnetically secure the low profile lighting device to a shelf to direct light onto the incubated plants.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1 . An incubation chamber for growing plants comprising: a plurality of shelf members secured to a support structure; at least one shelf member receiving at least one plant; a low profile lighting device secured to a shelf member adjacent the at least one plant to direct light from the low profile lighting device onto the at least one plant. 2 . The incubation chamber of claim 1 wherein the low profile lighting device has at least one magnet that secures the low profile lighting device to the shelf member. 3 . The incubation chamber of claim 2 wherein the at least one magnet is disposed within a groove. 4 . The incubation chamber of claim 2 wherein the at least one magnet is a samarium-cobalt magnet. 5 . The incubation chamber of claim 2 wherein the low profile lighting device has a body that receives a substrate having a plurality of light emitting diode thereon. 6 . The incubation chamber of claim 5 wherein the at least one magnet is embedded into the substrate. 7 . The incubation chamber of claim 5 wherein the at least one magnet is adhered to the substrate. 8 . The incubation chamber of claim 5 wherein the magnet secures the substrate against the shelf member. 9 . The incubation chamber of claim 2 wherein at least one magnet is positioned flush with a recessed surface of a body of the low profile lighting device.
