Purpose-built range developed to deliver precise wavelengths of light for crop yield improvement in indoor and greenhouse farming
LONDON, UK, 28 May 2019 – RS Components (https://uk.rs-online.com/web/)
(RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents plc (LSE: ECM), a global
multi-channel provider of industrial and electronic products and
solutions, has announced availability of a new selection of LUXEON LEDs
from Lumileds that target horticulture applications.
The LUXEON SunPlus 2835 (https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/displays-optoelectronics/leds-led-accessories/leds/?applied-dimensions=4291356291)
series has been purpose-built to enable ease of system design in
horticulture applications and is engineered to deliver the precise
wavelengths of light required to improve crop yield, either by
complementing or potentially replacing natural sunlight.
LUXEON SunPlus 2835 offers the only LED line available on the market
today that has been binned and tested to maximise photosynthetic photon
flux (PPF), which determines the amount of photosynthetically active
radiation (PAR) provided by a light source each second. PAR is a key
parameter used by gardeners and other operators at indoor and greenhouse
farming installations to monitor artificial lighting systems.
The series offers PPF/watt measurements from 1.84 for one of the
purple LEDs (with 2.5% blue), up to 2.32 for the ‘deep red’ and ‘far
red’ LEDs, specified at 120mA current flow and a device junction
temperature of 25°C. Other colours available with varying levels of
PPF/W, include: two further purple LED types – integrating 12.5% or 25%
blue – along with royal blue, lime, and horticulture white.
Available in packages measuring 2.8 x 3.5mm, the LEDs provide a 120°
light-distribution angle to deliver uniform light in greenhouse
applications, and include options for single LED-driver systems, as well
as multi-channel and colour-tuneable solutions.
In addition to the LUXEON SunPlus 2835, RS is stocking the ‘LUXEON 2835 Color’ (https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/displays-optoelectronics/leds-led-accessories/leds/?applied-dimensions=4291545293)
high-performance series of LEDs, which offers a full selection of
viewing angles and colours, including whites, targeting applications
such as architectural and entertainment lighting systems. Both series
are available from RS in the EMEA region.
