10 years of experience in horticulture business HISTORY BLV Licht- und Vakuumtechnik was founded in Steinhoering, Bavaria, in 1968. As a manufacturer of high quality lamps for both general lighting and niche markets, the company quickly made a name for itself. REPUTATION With its HORTURION series, BLV has played a key role in professional horticulture for more than a decade. The company is not only one of the biggest producers of HPS lamps worldwide, but one of the very few players in the market offering complete HPS, MH and LED assimilation systems – luminaires, power supplies and lamps...

Mission statement Our promise to you “We listen to our clients and consult on the best possible lighting solutions for their individual needs. With our R&D department and laboratory in Germany and all of our production in Europe, we offer outstanding quality and quick response time. Our business mentality is driven by a true spirit of partnership with our clients.“

The science behind plant quality Photosynthesis Height Biomass Flower induction Yield Leaf area Carbohydrate content Lycopene content Light acts in two ways: through photosynthesis and photomorphogenesis. Through photosynthesis it promotes growth and through photomorphogenesis it forms the shape of crops. Higher PAR levels will increase photosynthesis and improve biomass and yield. Regulating photomorphogenesis through the right combination of wavelengths can improve the leaf area (less shading), promote flowering and increase the colouration of fruits. This is rewarded with high quality...

For many crops, HPS is still the lighting of choice. Its high photon output drives photosynthesis and growth. However, it is low in blue light. Adding more blue light with MH lamps or LEDs can improve the leaf canopy (reduce shading) or stimulate colouration (lettuce). In turn, far-red light can accelerate flowering. LED solutions offer advantages when it comes to customised spectra, e.g. our formula white spectrum is especially suited for the earliest stages of the production cycle. Choosing the right lighting is not an easy task! BLV will support you in finding the right spectrum with...

Stimulates production, yield and earlier harvest HPS lamps have shown proven benefits in the last 30 years in horticulture. The colour spectrum is rich in red and farfructification. Therefore, it is best suited to increase yield. Further, the heat emission of the lamps supports assimilation by slightly increasing the leaf temperature. Relative intensity red light that stimulates elongation growth and optimises This is especially an advantage during the colder months when low temperatures normally reduce plant growth. In 0% other words: it helps to shorten the harvest cycle. The 1% rule:...

At a glance – MH light Stimulates pigments, secondary metabolites & compact growth MH light has a high amount of violet and blue light, which suppresses stem elongation, increases beneficial therefore advantageous for encouraging compact growth in decorative plants, enhancing leaf pigments in coloured vegetables, enriching secondary metabolites in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry and making crops Relative intensity compounds and promotes vegetative growth. It is more stress resistant. As the spectrum is also much closer to that of sunlight, colour rendering is improved which eases...

Innovative approach to LED grow light In 2017, BLV introduced its brand new LED multilayer system for professional horticulture lighting. This multilayer system has been optimised for the cultivation of seedlings and cuttings as well as for herbs for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Currently, there are two different spectra available: LED formula red 2.1 and LED formula white 1.2. BLV formula red 2.1 Purple light has become the visual synonym of efficient LED assimilation lighting. In combination with sunlight it can increase photosynthesis, biomass and yield. However, purple...
