MORE LIGHT MORE YIELD
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.
