LED Lighting Module Enables Change to Light Recipes
Philips Lighting has introduced its new GreenPower Dynamic LED production module. The LED growth lighting and software enables a switch between light recipes designed for nurturing different crops. It was demonstrated for the first time at GreenTech 2016 in Amsterdam and will be available in Q4 this year.
The Philips GreenPower Dynamic LED horticultural lighting and software allows growers the ability to adjust both the LED colors in the spectrum (far red, red, white and blue) as well as individual light intensities.
It allows growers to try out dynamic horticultural LED light recipes such as adjusting the light color during the day, Philips said.
A recipe combines these elements: light spectrum, intensity, illumination moment, uniformity and positioning. Using a light recipe, a grower can develop specific plant characteristics, from compactness, color intensity and branch development to flowering in order to improve results. Also, these elements can be used to stimulate stretching or stem elongation to prevent a crop from becoming too long and less strong.

The lighting system is equipped with software that makes it easy to adjust the LED color and intensity. A sturdy cable, connector and mounting brackets are provided, allowing the lights to be easily installed at any height and location needed. An optional cable tree can be used to connect up to ten Dynamic modules to one junction box.
