If you successfully breed decorative plants in the greenhouse all year round you expect from innovative LED assimilation lights to improve your work environment and grow results. The facility manager needs to bring the operational costs down at the lowest investment costs. Converting existing high-pressure-sodium lamps (HPS) to LEDs requires the right answer for everyone involved. Again, a professional horticulturist has set out with SANSOL to increase its yields, improve plant resilience to environmental influences in a groundbreaking assimilation light refit project, with the result to measurably reduce energy costs.
Goal setting and strategy
SANSOL’s primary goal was a seamless one-to-one replacement while maintaining the existing infrastructure. The focus is on reducing energy costs by 40%, which is expected to pay for itself within less than four years. The sunlike emission spectrum of the new lighting solution is strategically chosen to support good rooting and increase internode spacing of the mother plants.
Schedule and challenges
Time is money. Experience shows that 12 weeks pass from the first planning meeting to commissioning. A major challenge for SANSOL is ensuring uniform light distribution in older greenhouses with low light heights. SANSOL’s specially developed CUBRA-series has proven themselves for refitting projects like this. The optimal light distribution and freedom to adapt the emission spectrum in the production process is key. A smooth 1:1 replacement is ensured without the need for a qualified electrician.
Our look into the future
An improved emissions spectrum enhances the current breeding program and creates the conditions for further success. The integration of horticultural and cultivation know-how ensures that the gardener’s requirements are seamlessly translated into a perfect lighting solution.
