Growing value with more control Philips GreenPower LED production module

Improve crop yield and quality, and save on costs.” In horticulture, LED lighting is most effective when the spectrum and level of the light are exactly tuned to the particular crop and growing conditions. To this end, Philips has carried out over 1,000 projects around the world to determine the optimum spectrum and light level for (multilayer) production. The results of these projects have enabled Philips to develop and refine the GreenPower LED production module. The GreenPower LED production module can be used in a new installation, as a replacement for fluorescent lamps or as an...

The right light, in the right place, at the right time.” Different plants have different light needs. Philips offers a choice of ‘light recipes’ -dedicated combinations of spectrum, intensity, moment of lighting, uniformity and positioning - that it has developed over many years of cooperation with city farmers, greenhouse growers, universities, and research organizations. These light recipes make it possible to steer specific plant characteristics such as compactness, color intensity and branch development, resulting in optimized crop yield and quality. Energy savings with LED production...

Designed to deliver Consistent quality GreenPower LED production modules specially designed reflective optic minimizes expensive light losses and ensures uniform light distribution across the shelves, so every plant receives the same level and quality of light. This results in better, more uniform plant quality and a more predictable yield. Efficient heat management Thanks to its LED technology and optimized thermal design, the GreenPower LED production module radiates very little heat towards the plants. This means that in multilayer applications the layers can be stacked closer to each...

44 Best business results through solutions tailored to crops and growing conditions.” Proven in practice The GreenPower LED production module is used in many applications, e.g. city/vertical farming, propagation, and research. It is used to grow, among others: • leafy vegetables and herbs • young plants and potted plants • bedding plants and perennials • cut flowers (mainly tulips) • soft fruits The GreenPower LED production module can also be used for many other crops and growing situations. Please contact your local Philips Horti contact person or Philips LED Horti Partner to find out...

City farming -Green Sense Farms (US) City farming -Osaka Prefecture University (Japan) City farming -Deliscious (Netherlands) Green Sense Farms renovated a 28,000 m2 indoor facility to form two climate-controlled grow rooms. They then equipped the rooms with 14 eight-meter-high growing towers, each stacked with eight growing carousels. 7,000 Philips GreenPower LED production modules were used to illuminate the carousels. Importantly because different plants have different light needs, Green Sense Farms worked with Philips and its LED Horti Partner to identify the optimum light recipe...

Proven in practice Experience with field tests Propagation – Bailey Nurseries Inc. (US) Propagation – Shanghai Dadi (China) Having tested the GreenPower LED production module, Bailey Nurseries concluded that under the LED lighting lilac tissue culture rooted quickly and with minimum care. The results of this trial, amongst others, indicates that the GreenPower LED production module improves plant stand, reduces crop time, increases overall plant health, and also conserves energy during the winter months. A win-win situation for the nursery and its customers. Plants grown under Philips...

Tissue culture – Vitro Plus (Netherlands) Vegetable seedlings – Shanghai Jiao Tong University (China) Vitro Plus started working with LEDs in its multilayer set­­‑ up in 2009. Just by making more efficient use of space, this enabled it to increase its fern propagation by 33%. The quality of the tissue culture also improved. In addition, the company has made substantial savings on energy, partly because the LEDs consume significantly less energy than the fluorescent lighting previously used, but also because substantially less heat is generated by the LEDs, which means that less cooling is...

An outstanding proposition all round The GreenPower LED production module for multilayer applications will offer you more control, improved and uniform crop quality and energy savings of up to 75%. The energy-efficient LEDs also give off less heat and create a more uniform light distribution, making the module ideal for conditioned environments. Highly reliable The module’s aluminum housing is strong and waterproof (IP66/dry and damp locations), so when necessary you can clean it with pressurized water. In combination with the module’s long rated service life, the result is little or...

The right colors for your growing needs The GreenPower LED production module is available in the different colors that a plant can use most effectively at the different stages of its development: * Typically at 230 V / ** Typically at 25 °C / 77 °F ambient Products are certified and tested against safety standards: UL1598, UL8750, IEC60598-1, IEC60598-2-1 and CSA C22.2 No 250.0.0-08 Legend: Important remark: 120 = 121.2 cm +/- 0.5 For advice on allowed chemicals in 150 = 151.3 cm +/- 0.5 combination with these modules (for LB = Low Blue cleaning, fungicides, surfactants, etc),...

Controlled, uniform, high-quality (young) plant output Proven light recipes for different crops Proven for different growth characteristics Less heat radiation, so ideal for conditioned environments Ideal for multilayer installations Energy savings of up to 75% compared to fluorescent tubes © 2015 Koninklijke Philips N.V.
