Lighting for greenhouse horticulture

Lighting installations can be essential in international greenhouse horticulture. Light contributes to a larger, optimum quality crop in both ornamental crops and in vegetable cultivation. Thanks to lighting installations, you are also able to keep to market based schedules and to supply products all year round. This offers plenty of benefits: you react to the specific requirements of your clients, thus strengthening your relationship with them.

Innovative light systems
Just like other technical systems in greenhouse horticulture, assimilation lighting systems have undergone tremendous development in recent years. Central aspects of their development include reliability, energy efficiency and optimisation of the effect. Assimilation lighting has also lost much of its bulkiness over the last couple of years, so that it now has a minimum number of obstacles to light penetration. Depending on the requirements of your particular crop, Certhon can provide you with an ideal configuration, based on each type of greenhouse.

LED lighting systems
A new development lies in the use of LED lighting for greenhouse assimilation lighting systems. The benefits of LED are already well known: their light is up to fifty percent more efficient than the use of the existing SON-T lamps. Energy savings can be as much as eighty percent. Their long working life is other advantage which must not be underestimated. Great advances have been made in the use of LED installations in international greenhouse horticulture so far, often also in hybrid combination solutions, with SON-T.
