With the new Philips LED toplighting compact (TLC), growers can easily switch from HPS to LED grow lights, using your existing HPS set-up and trellis construction.
While there are many benefits, these are our top four:
Compared to traditional lighting, the lifespan of LED's is far superior and can last on average 50,000+ hours, or anywhere from 6 - 12 years before you need to replace them. (which is approx. 40 times longer than Incandescent bulbs!)
LED light bulbs use around 75-85% less electricity than incandescent bulbs, and approx. 50% less than fluorescent tubes.
LED's provide higher lumens per watt and produce more light at lower wattage levels, making them much more efficient and power-wise than filament light.
Approximately 80-90% of the total energy used to power traditional bulbs (like incandescent) is converted directly into heat.
LEDs emit almost no forward heat and don't produce any UV rays, and because they consume less power, they can operate effectively on low voltage systems which are generally much safer.
By switching to energy-efficient lighting, you will more than likely qualify for rebates and incentives to help you save on your initial investment. These programs are constantly changing & vary by province, but our team can help you easily navigate them & assist with applications!
Natural light often falls short on delivering the light needed by crops for optimal growth. By adding Philips LED toplighting in your greenhouse, you can grow with greater predictability and confidence. The Philips Greenpower TLC will help to accelerate the growth cycle of your crops and ensure you're meeting customer orders and delivery deadlines!
The high light output of up to 1610 µmol/s and high efficacy of up to 2.7 µmol/J can help growers optimize crop growth, enhance crop quality and cut operational costs.
The Philips Greenpower LED TLC is the easy, energy-efficient 1-1 replacement for high pressure sodium (HPS) lighting.
Due to minimal heat radiation of LED grow lights, the TLC allows you to manage light and heat separately while giving you greater control over your grow climate
