Since you're going to need electricity for many other purposes anyway,
I like the idea of using LEDs in both lunar and martian
agriculture.
Notice that the electricity you have to supply to the LEDs, depending
on assumptions, is more than you would have to supply to heaters.
Take a look at Fig 9 in the Hublitz et al. paper.
You need something other than solar panels to supply electricity for
heaters at night. Turning off lights at night on the other hand is OK.
