For more than 50 years, greenhouse growers have supplemented natural sunlight with artificial lighting, delivering more predictable yields of high-quality produce to satisfy year-round consumer demand. Today, the need to produce more, whilst addressing the global climate crisis and meet targets set out by the European Union’s green initiatives, impose increasing financial and operational pressures on organisations who need to boost production, yet shrink their carbon footprint.
GE Current, a Daintree company, fuses a deep understanding of plant science and the pivotal role of light in indoor plant cultivation, with a legacy of cutting-edge lighting innovation that dates back to the invention of the first GE Lucalox® High Pressure Sodium lamps in 1962. Available in 600W single-ended 230V or 400V options, the latest generation of Lucalox® HPS lighting builds on the trusted GE design, delivering greater efficiency and higher PAR maintenance of 90% over a longer lifespan of 14,000 hours, for superior performance and lower maintenance costs all year round.
For producers who have already made the switch from HPS to LED technology, or who are interested in further slashing their energy bills and associated carbon emissions, Current’s Arize™ LED portfolio offers a range of options to set their greenhouse up for sustainable growth. With a range of optimised light recipes, Arize™ LED lighting allows growers to unlock the natural potential of every plant and maximise the volume and value of every harvest, whether you’re focusing on food, flowers or the burgeoning medicinal cannabis market.
