ZALUX, a member of the German group Trilux (market leading company for professional lighting), is introducing a groundbreaking line of LED luminaires exclusively for the horticulture market. Drawing on its global proficiency in horticultural science and technology, ZALUX is committed to delivering a lighting solution that profoundly amplifies the growth of crops and plants in horticultural settings.
LED technology revolutionises horticulture lighting with its customisable spectra, energy efficiency, and long lifespan. Its adaptability allows for precise spectral tuning to meet specific plant requirements. By integrating smart controls, these technologies are further refined, enabling dynamic adjustments based on plant growth stages.
“ZALUX lighting solutions are designed to combine the expertise of our European specialists in protected lighting for demanding & aggressive environments, and the advice of horticultural experts,” Patrick Rüschenbaum, Head of Farming at ZALUX, says. “Compared to conventional lighting technology, you can save up to 60% energy with LED luminaires.”
Plants require different spectral wavelengths for growth compared to human eye sensitivity. ZALUX develops biologically efficient lighting solutions tailored to flowers’ and fruits’ vegetative and generative growth cycles. Light exposure’s quantity, quality, and duration significantly influence photosynthesis, growth rates, and flowering in plants. Manipulating photoperiods (the duration of light exposure) can affect flowering, fruiting, and overall growth stages.
The harmonious integration of greenhouse design, plant biology, and specialised lighting systems holds the promise of unparalleled crop yields and sustainable agricultural practices. By meticulously considering these factors, ZALUX can tailor a lighting system that meets any grower’s unique needs, ultimately fostering optimal plant growth and unlocking maximum yield potential.
ZALUX have displayed its innovative horticulture solutions at GreenTech Amsterdam from June 11th to 13th. The stand, which had the slogan ‘become a lighting expert in five minutes,’ offered visitors a practical demonstration about the importance of quality in horticulture lighting.
