The challenge

A LED lighting system that would go beyond the standard requirements.

Growy approached us with a challenge that matched our reputation for technically leading products combined with customization: they requested a LED lighting system that would go beyond the standard requirements for a vertical farm. Their request was focused on obtaining LED lighting that not only offered an adjustable light spectrum, but also allowed dynamic dimming to meet the specific needs of their various crops throughout the day.

In addition, they were looking for a solution that could be managed via an advanced control system, allowing them to control the lighting remotely and integrate it with other systems within their vertical farm.

 

Further specifications in their application were that the system should be water-cooled, have an installation that was as simple and short in time as possible, minimal cabling and a uniform light distribution as possible where the edges would also be well illuminated. We were delighted to accept this task and to provide a solution that perfectly suited Growy’s unique needs.

Our solution

We developed a solution that not only met but exceeded Growy’s requirements.

Working with Growy gave us the opportunity to demonstrate our proven expertise and technology in LED lighting systems. We developed a solution that not only met but exceeded Growy’s requirements. Specifically, we provided a Dimlux Vertiled with custom-made lenses that perfectly matched the specific set-up in Growy’s grow rooms. Placing these custom-made lenses a-symmetrically as well ensures that the outer edges are also fully illuminated. This system further offers standard an adjustable light spectrum, advanced continuously variable dimming options and seamless integration with the management system and other installations within the space.

Furthermore, our solution involved an interconnectable system with only one power cord per cultivation layer. This customised lighting solution provides Growy with the control and flexibility they need to achieve their ambitious goals. We are delighted to contribute to Growy’s success and look forward to continuing to work together on new challenges and opportunities.

“With Airlux Technologies we found the perfect collaborative partner in the field of customized growth lighting and climate solutions for the coming years.”
