‘Green up’ greenhouse cultivation with growth accelerating led technology by Lemnis Lighting
In the Netherlands it takes the combined output of two coal-fired power plants to produce the energy that is required for lighting crops in Dutch greenhouse cultivation. Lemnis Oreon can do this more efficiently. It’s the led lighting solution for glasshouse horticulture. Crops only use parts of the full light spectrum to grow, and Lemnis Oreon lighting solutions produce exactly those light wavelengths. Coupled with its optimal directional characteristics, that point the light at crops, not at the ceiling, Lemnis Oreon enables energy savings even over existing energy efficient lighting, while reducing light pollution.
Lemnis Oreon led lighting is in use today, and helps enhance crop yield per square meter, save energy and make greenhouses more sustainable.
Energy savings and better greenhouse climate management
Lemnis Oreon led lighting saves 30 to 35 percent energy over SON-T lighting, and up to 90 percent over incandescent bulbs. Moreover Oreon systems don’t interfere with glasshouse climate management systems by introducing unwanted heat. For the first time temperature management can be optimized using appropriate heating systems. As a result, the greenhouse needs less venting, which is beneficial for the greenhouse climate.
From product to solution
Lemnis Oreon offers complete lighting solutions for successful cultivation, with products for multi-layer cultivation, cyclical lighting and grow light:
- Assimilation lamps for growth acceleration
- Luminaires for multi-layer cultivation
Lamps for cyclical lighting
Lemnis Oreon supports cultivators with advice and helps calculating the business case, so that the choice for an investment in led lighting solutions can be made with confidence. Actual placement of the system is in the hands of our capable installation partners, according to a predefined light plan. Once in place, Lemnis Oreon stays in touch with our customers to share knowledge and new insights. You can count on us for continued support!
Future-proof investment
Innovations in led lighting occur at a quick pace, and scientific research is still being done to determine the effects of light frequencies on the assimilation behavior of myriad crops that are currently being grown in glasshouses. That is why Oreon systems are being developed from the ground up with the future in mind: Any Oreon installation is a modular system that can be adjusted or enhanced, depending on changes in your scale or crop cultivation. The system is compatible with future lamp modules, leaving you free to switch over to other light frequencies or luminaires with a higher yield as these become available.
Any Lemnis Oreon system is a smart investment. Depending on your country, attractive financing options might be available. Please contact us for more information.
