"The most uniform light distribution in your greenhouse"

The Signify product range for nursery gardening kindling has been expanded . The new version of the Greenpower conduce toplighting linear was launch by Signify during IPM in Essen , Germany . Erik Jansen , floriculture LED commercial enterprise development manager at Signify , explain that this is already coevals 1.3 .

“ In shortsighted , it comes down to the fact that the great vantage of this novel lamp is the orotund amount of light . Moreover , the linear toplighting is the perfect solvent if you , as a grower , are looking for the most undifferentiated light distribution in your greenhouse . The maximal sparkle output has been increased from 620 to 1000 μmol / s. The light intensity of this lamp is equivalent to the 600 W Son - T lamp . But it only requires a level best of 300 to 325 W of energy , depend on the spectrum . So this lamp uses about half the power , while the light outturn is the same . A well combining ; the lamp produces perceptibly more Light Within and is a spate more vigour effective . ”

On the one handwriting , the operational cost will minify thanks to the lower power use of goods and services . And on the other , it provides more light for the harvest . It is clear that a destiny of light is a good thing . With potted plant and young plants , you may save on inhibitors through LED spark . The plants become more compact and get a good structure . If a industrial plant is too stretched , that can also cause problems during transport , because the plant life gets damaged if it is too close to the next layer on the tram . Erik Jansen : " The color of the flower is also more intense thanks to the use of conduct light compared to Son - T. The flowers are brighter in color . what is more , rooting and growth are faster ; the plant blooms quicker . ” Signify is doing a lot of tests and the final result are very clear ; the use of LED lighting offers the grower many advantages . ChemistryWe already mentioned more compact plants . The compactness also makes the plant more resilient . More resilient because the plant has more dry thing and a undecomposed ancestor system . The plant life has fewer problems with fungi , such as botrytis and mildew , and harmful insects .

The use of LED lighting has increased . Erik : “ That is completely readable in Lisianthus , a production where traditionally a portion of lighting is used . Often there is already LED in the greenhouse . 500 µmol / s / m2 is now the highest there and I require that this will become common . Everything is pointing towards that . "

Erik : " The horticulture sector used to be amazed at 100 μmol / m2 / s. Now they do n’t even blink at 400 μmol / s / m2 . The current standard in Lisianthus is now 250 - 500 umol / s / m2 . They hump that the quality and focal ratio is higher . And that is beneficial for the agriculturalist . These daylight , those light level are only getting higher and higher . With high pressure lamp you reach the limit , because they get too blistering . Then the leaf may combust at the edges of , for example , lettuce and young plants . "
