Many growers who invest in LED kindling opt for all-embracing - beam light-emitting diode fixtures with a high light outturn . In this direction , they calculate to attain optimal sluttish distribution at the top of the crop and to limit investment costs . In eminent - telegram crops , however , it is particularly of import that the lighting fathom late into the crop , so that as many leaves as possible contribute to the photosynthesis . This is why Hortilux ’s advice is to invest in more , and far - reaching , LED fixture in this grammatical case . This can result in up to eight percent production gains .
More and more agriculturist are prefer for LED lighting , especially fixtures with wide - light beam angles and gamey faint spirit level . “ This is not surprising in and of itself , ” say Paul van der Valk , Area Sales Manager Europe at Hortilux . “ raiser , and manufacturers as well , are in the main focused on unspoiled wanton statistical distribution at the top of the crop . And with wide - beam fixtures , all the igniter ride out in the upper thirty centimeters of the plant . In accession , entrepreneurs can confine their investment funds cost by opting for fixtures with mellow luminous flux . ”
optimum balance between horizontal and vertical visible light distributionAccording to Van der Valk , this strategy works well for cut flowers , for model , which often need to be harvested within a forgetful menses of time . This is different for mellow - wire crop , where the harvest meter is less important . “ In that case , you not only desire to attain good unclouded distribution at the top of the harvest , but good erect loose distribution is also all-important . In other intelligence : the light extermination – the reduction of the amount of luminance supplied vertically throughout the crop – should ideally be as gradual as possible . After all , the more farewell receive light , the more folio participate in photosynthesis , and the in high spirits the production . ”
Eight pct addition in productionFor this reasonableness , Hortilux advises cultivator of high - telegram crop who desire to get started with LED kindling to opt for more , and especially far - reaching , light sources . In this means , the grow twinkle is optimally distributed and penetrates late into the crop from all sides . Hortilux carries the special Topled fixtures for this purpose . “ virtual experience with HPS fixtures testify that the use of far - strain reflector achieves up to eight per centum more production than the habit of wide - beam reflectors . We should not discount that reward when we use LED fix . And with an eight percent increment in production , the investment in additional light point is quick recoup , and good results can be achieved . In other word : you get a maximum return from the lightness offer . "
Hortilux can help growers create optimum light statistical distribution . “ We make the sluttish extinguishing in the harvest transparent with a particular computing program . This do it clean at which light end product and light statistical distribution the various leaf of the industrial plant get an optimum amount of lighter . This permit us to design a tailor - made lighting plan for every grower – aimed at accomplish the highest yield per m2 – and conform the instalment accordingly . "
compounding of LED and HPSVan der Valk emphasise that although many growers do enthrone in light-emitting diode light , HPS mature light is not going anywhere . Entrepreneurs are increasingly opting for a hybrid grow light facility ; a compounding of LED and HPS . Hortilux is one of the few party in the market that specialize in both LED and HPS and offer a ended range of fixedness for both variants . “ This allows us to give agriculturalist optimal advice on the correct combination and to come up with the ideal inflammation plan , or ' formula ' for a loanblend grow light installation . It goes without saying that the objective lens of single agriculturalist are the run principle at all times . This guarantees optimum results . "
HPS repair can easily be substitute by LED fixtures in many case , grant to Van der Valk . “ adjustment to the electrical facility and priming coat cables are often not necessary . This reduces the investment required . ”
