Lumen and LUX values should never be used to measure the effectiveness of garden lighting. In case of horticultural luminaires, PPFD is used to express their exact light intensity Let us see the most important definitions and concepts of this industry explained: DEFINITIONS PAR Photosynthetically Active Radiation PPF Photosynthetic Photon Flux
MORE LIGHT MORE YIELD
The total amount of photons in the 400-700 nm range that is produced by a light source each second. Mea- sured in μmol/s.
The range of light that plants are able to use for photosynthesis. 400-700 nanometers.
PPFD Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density The number of photons in the 400-700 nm range received by a surface for a specified amount of time. Measured in μmol/s/m². EFFICACY Refers to how e cient a horticulture light system is at converting energy into PAR photons. By dividing the PPF of a light system with the input power (W), you can calculate e cacy. Measured in µmol/J.
DLI Daily Light Integral
The daily flux of photons per ground area.

Facts about LED based plant cultivation
THE ADVANTAGES OF LED BASED PLANT CULTIVATION All-year production system (weather independece) Production boost Can be used in addition to sunlight Optimized photosynthesis Perfect and well-balanced light distribution Outstanding e ciency
Easy installation No maintenance Low energy costs Can replace ine cient sodium lamps (HPS)
Wavelength (nm)
Plants use only about 4-8% of visible light for photosynthesis.
Both sunlight and artifical light are acceptable for plants. However, there is a range between 500-610 nm that isn't absorbed by them. By providing the right wavelength of light, the taste of vegetables can be
improved in addition to their yield! RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT
Our team of experts spent years researching horticultural LEDs. We were able to identify the exact compo- sition of light that plants need to be able to grow. Going further, we also identified that different types of plants have different needs. To better understand this spectrum, first we must look at the differences between artificial and natural light. Natural light is dynamically changing. The intensity of sunlight is always in flux as clouds pass by in the sky. One of the benefits of the artificial light that it is constant in its intensity. We were able to recreate the dynamic aspect of natural light with our LED spectrum. We conti- nuously keep finetuning our horticulture technology. We have kept a close eye on the various develop- ments and innovations of LEDs, always looking for ways to incorporate the latest technology in our own research. As a result, all of our horticultural luminaires are state-of-the-art, using advanced technology to
ensure you can grow your plants e ciently, wherever you may be! IBV PhytoLED plant growing LED luminaires
Our PhytoLED product family, developed over years of active research and development is the ideal choice for providing light to plants both in greenhouses and film tents. Our goal was to develop energy-e cient fixtures and we succeeded! The PhytoLED product family achieved up to 65% energy savings compared to sodium vapor (HPS) lamps, which are often used on farms despite their ine ciency. In fact, less than 10% of the light emitted by HPS lamps is actually used by the plants.

Horticultural luminaires can be separated into two different categories based on how and where they are applied: Toplighting and Interlighting.
MORE LIGHT MORE YIELD
TOPLIGHTING
Features of TOPLIGHTING
Mounted above plants Emit strong, vibrant light Can be used as supplementary light
Ideal for: seedlings, various flowers, lettuce, wheatgrass, chili peppers, herbs, cannabis Can even replace the sun entirely (black box) In IBV Product portfolio: PhytoLED SolveSun (coloured, white) PhytoLED Toplight (white)
Features of INTERLIGHTING
Provide light in between the plants - without unwanted heat generation LEDs on both sides of the products ensure light to two rows of plants at once Serves as an additional light source for tall greenhouse vegetation For the illumination the lower, shaded leaves and the stems Plants can be lit at the points where they gain most benefit Improves the taste and nutritional value of the fruits and vegetables Much higher and more e cient plant production Where Toplighting is not ideal (in lightweight construction foil tents, or at low ceilings) Ideal for: tomatoes, eggplants and cucumbers Optimal in vertical farms above the crops (with no
rows but shelves instead) In IBV Product portfolio: PhytoLED Interlight (purple, white)

The plant growing LED luminaires are ideal for newly constructed greenhouses, for foil tents, vertical farms, experimental laboratories, black boxes, green wall lighting and sport stadiums. What sort of plants do you want to grow?
MORE LIGHT, MORE YIELD MORE LIGHT
seedlings vegetables
hemp (cannabis) herbs & chili peppers ornamental plants, flowers green wall lighting experimental plant cultivation turfing sport stadiums with grass
salads (e.g.: lettuce) fruits (e.g.: berries) mushrooms micro-vegetables, wheatgrass
Vegetables (e.g.: tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers)
Seedlings
Seedlings in general can be grown in greenhouses, foil tents and vertical farms and even in black boxes with no natural light, using grow lights. We recommend Toplights for greenhouse cultiva- tion of tomatoes. The colourful / purple is ideal, but the white can also be used.
In the first stage of the plant’s lifecycle, we recom - mend Toplights. Similar to seedlings, purple or white or a combination of both may be used. However, as soon as the stems of the plant grow and rich foliage is developed, Interlights are recommended due to their increased efficiency. The light produced by Interlights hits more of the leaves than Toplights due to the foliage. As these plants develop further, Interlighting becomes the primary lighting method, while Toplights can be used for additional illumination.
Salads (e.g.: lettuce)
Fruits (e.g.: berries)
Various kinds of salad can be grown in greenhouses and foil tents and vertical farms. Lettuce is also extremely well-suited for black box cultivation. Toplights are recommended for greenhouse cultiva- tion. Toplights provide plenty of light in foil tents and can be mounted much easier. For vertical farms and black boxes, PhytoLED Interlight is the perfect fit – it works quite well with the shelves in such systems.
Berries of all kinds can be grown in greenhouses, foil tents or in vertical farms. We recommend using Toplights for greenhouse and foil tent cultivation in addition to natural sunlight. The rate of growth can be increased with the Toplights, and the crop quality is guaranteed to be excellent. For year-round operating vertical farms and black boxes, a combination of Toplights and Interlights are recommended to ensure sufficient amounts of light for the plants.
Herbs & chili peppers
For growing chili peppers and herbs the application of Toplighting technology is advised.

MORE LIGHT MORE YIELD
Mushrooms
Mushrooms of various kinds do not require a huge amount of light. PhytoLED Toplights can be used during certain pivotal parts of the growth cycle: oyster mushrooms have a specific time period during their development where light is needed to ensure growth.
Micro-vegetables, wheatgrass
Vertical farms and black boxes are ideal for growing micro-vegetables and wheatgrass. PhytoLED Inter- lights can be used to provide more than enough light for both type of plant. In these systems, the Interlights should be mounted above each shelf.
Cannabis
Toplights are also recommended for growing cannabis. This technology is very useful for the production of the hemp inflorescences and for the extraction of the active principle. We offer solution to ensure earlier production and shortening of plant internodes: This increases the amount of flowers and dry matter of the harvested product resulting in lower drying costs and higher production yields.
Greenwall lighting
Greenwalls are vertical gardens that have different types of plants or other greenery attached to them. The greenery is often planted in a growth medium consisting of soil, stone or water. Because the walls have living plants in them, they usually feature built-in irrigation systems and for instance in shopping malls or indoor areas can operate well with artificial light such as PhytoLED SolveSun.
Ornamental plants, flowers
Toplights have already proven their excellence when it comes to growing flowers in greenhouses. Our Toplights guarantee beautiful flowers even in low light conditions and winter periods. Plants grown with our PhytoLED SolveSun had stronger and longer stems and more intense coloration, which made them more valuable. PhytoLED Toplight is recommended for foil tents, as it can be mounted closer to the plants and due to its lower weight, it does not strain the lightweight construction of the foil tent.
Experimental plant cultivation
Black box plant growing can ensure the sterile conditions of experimental plant cultivation. Plants grown in this way receive no natural sunlight and instead are illuminated exclusively by grow lights. Thus, we can grow plants regardless of climate and season, providing the foundation for a healthy diet to everybody, regardless of where they are located. Our products are all well-suited for sterile, black box cultivation. In the aftermath of the pandemic, hygiene and safety concerns have increased the demand for goods produced in sterile environments.
Sport stadiums
PhytoLED Toplights are perfect for quick growing of grass that are used for turfing of sport stadiums.

“During the growing season, the plants grew taller, had a higher green mass and the flowers were also more colourful and more pronounced. Due to the excess light, the irrigation and temperature requirements of the plants also changed. We were able to achieve similar results in the winter with artificial LED lighting, as in other parts of the year with natural sunlight.” (Pál Gombos – flower gardener from Hungary)

Interlighting for plant cultivation
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The PhytoLED Interlight is a horticulture all-year production system. In modern greenhouses the Toplight fixtures are placed very high above the plants, and it causes difficulties for gardeners to get adequate light to the lower parts of the plants. With Toplighting, only the leaves near the already ripe fruits get enough light. However, PhytoLED Interlight is a perfect solution for this problem. Our plant growing Interlight LED luminaires are suitable for 2 m column spacings in greenhouses and foil tents. The installation of these extruded profile fixtures is very quick and easy . The luminaires contain 3-phase through wiring , so it is enough to connect them to each other by using standard electrical cables. The material of the luminaire is strengthened PMMA , which is chemically
