A photosynthesis illumination system, including: a curved ray directing element, such as a lens, for directing an illumination beam towards at least one plant; a motor for rotating the ray directing element, for selecting different locations of the at least one plant to be illuminated by the illumination beam; motorized optical focusing means, for adjusting for each of the locations an area size, thereby determining a portion of the at least one plant to be illuminated; and a controller, for controlling the motor and the motorized optical focusing means, to provide an equal illumination energy to each area unit of the at least one plant.
