More efficient cultivation with controlled raising under LED lighting
We have been focusing on improving the plant raising phase at our GrowWise Research Center for several years now. In a series of trials, lettuce plants were raised in a controlled environment using LED lighting, and then transplanted to a professional grower's field.
>20% Light Use Efficiency Exhibited in Tomato Trial
Materials incorporating quantum dots show promise in enabling passive, electricity-free spectrum modification for improving crop production in greenhouse cultivation, but extensive controlled crop studies are needed to further validate their effectiveness.
Trial Grodan and Philips Full LED shows high level quality tomato production with up to 40% heat input reduction
The initial results show that it is possible for tomato growers to maintain high levels of quality and production, even when they reduce the heat input in the greenhouse.

Decoding LED Grow Lights: Beyond the Numbers
With an ever-expanding market and a surge in innovative horticultural LED lighting fixtures, it's crucial for consumers to tread carefully. In 2021, an age-old phrase remains incredibly pertinent: "Lies, damn lies, and statistics."
The Power of Red Light in Greenhouse Farming
The use of supplemental lighting in greenhouse farming has become increasingly popular to increase plant growth and yield and has helped further develop our understanding of how the spectrum of light provided to plants affects plant growth and development.
Light Spectrum vs. µmols
In the ever-evolving landscape of LED grow lights, it's crucial to look beyond the surface when choosing. With many lighting companies and innovative horticultural LED lighting fixtures flooding the market, some resort to simplifying their products down to a single number.
New Insights and Data-driven Controls Come Together in Priva Connext
"Buying an LED installation is one thing; learning how to use it is another". After a long run-up, pot lily and pot chrysanthemum producer Van Schie started using two different LED installations in 2022 and 2023.
How Intercanopy Lighting Can Help Your Grow
Even though light is absorbed by leaves at the top of the canopy, shading from neighboring leaves reduces the light available to leaves lower in the canopy and the plant is living up to less than its full photosynthetic potential.
Green Fields Leverages Fluence VYPR Fixtures to Produce High-Quality Crops Year Round
Israel's largest cannabis facility taps into REMY and Fluence's LED technology for better control over its cultivation process, leading to higher consistency throughout the grow
Oasis Springs Farm: How the Right LED Grow Lights Can Improve Crop Quality and Increase Production up to 33% in Shipping Containers
With technology always changing, when it came time to build their third container farm last year, they knew they needed to investigate the latest in LED grow lights.
Harnessing the Power of Light Intensity and Spectrum for Propagation and Cut Flower Production
This business case will expound on the results of dynamic LED lighting in propagation and cut flower production. It will highlight its impact on various plant characteristics and the proven effectiveness of Sollum's 100% programmable LED grow light solution in greenhouses.
