[SpaceProgram] Fwd: Space Farmers: LEDs As Key To NASA's Permanent Lunar Life Support - Forbes

[Jerry Isdale]

Growing in space requires light. Space stations may be able to orient themselves for full time growing but Colonies on moons, etc will need some power source for when their rotation takes them into night (moon night = 2 weeks).  

This article talks about using LEDs powered from a small nuclear power source, similar to that powering the Curiosity Rover.
