"Maximum versatility with tunable, next-generation RAPTR and VYPR fixtures"

Fluence announced its newest LED top light solutions for produce and ornamental cultivators: RAPTR 2 and VYPR 4. Both models are multi-channel controllable, which makes flexible use of far-red and white light possible. "Higher wattages and tunable spectra help growers maximize light output and efficiency at lower installation costs," the developers say.

HPS upgrade
"The RAPTR 2 fixture's wide power range (up to 1400 W), multi-channel tunable spectra, and up to 5050 μmol/s of light output make it the optimal lighting solution for upgrading HPS fixtures in greenhouse environments," says Steve Graves, senior vice president of strategy and business development at Fluence. "Featuring steerable spectra—including far red—integrated wireless dimming capability and efficacies up to 4.0 μmol/J, cultivators can achieve improved crop performance and lower operating expenses with the new RAPTR 2."

VYPR 4: More versatility and control that maximizes cultivation results
He shows how, featuring the VYPR line's familiar low-profile design, VYPR 4 offers more spectral options, light uniformity at any mounting height, easy installation, and higher light intensities with lower energy consumption.

"VYPR 4 is a versatile top light solution," said Jordon Musser, chief product officer for Fluence. "The latest generation focuses on what every grower wants: a more efficient output that yields a clear ROI. Installation is swift, the fixtures are extremely durable, and growers can tap into Fluence's diverse spectral options to curate a lighting program unique to their cultivation goals."

VYPR 4 features output of up to 3030 μmol/s and efficiency of up to 3.9 μmol/J. The fixture also includes dual-channel far-red spectra as well as Fluence's wide variety of PhysioSpec™ spectra to empower growers with multiple lighting strategies. "And the low profile creates the least possible shading in a greenhouse environment and now offers a wide-beam optic for optimized light distribution."

Mission
"The latest RAPTR and VYPR series luminaires showcase that Fluence's primary mission remains unchanged: Help the world grow smarter through the most advanced LED fixtures," said Steve Graves, senior vice president of strategy and business development at Fluence. "We're excited to launch our most powerful and efficient solutions yet and we look forward to advancing the industry together with partners across the globe."

Fluence will showcase RAPTR 2 and VYPR 4 during its upcoming global trade shows, including HortiContact from March 5 to March 7, 2024, in the Netherlands.
