Austria: Pest free model plant at Gregor Mendel Institute
The workshop of the GMI built a construction which, together with Valoya's B-series products, provides full mobility and flexibility in adjusting light intensity and uniformity. The lights are used by many researchers for a wide variety of applications at the same time.
Valoya's spectrum AP67 covers all needed wavelengths such as green, blue, red and far-red. The photoactive radiation is 83%. The benches in the GMI's greenhouse were equipped with B-series fixtures as seen in the picture below. Valoya's B-series has the Ingress Protection Rating of 55 (IP-rating). The institute also used Valoya's C-series (IP-rating of 66) with the same spectrum for their shelves. Therefore, Valoya products give not only the right choice of spectrum, but are also very flexible in their models and use.
B-series luminaires at Gregor Mendel Institute Vienna supporting corn trials
The spectrum AP67 is also successfully in use for Rose, Phalenonopsis, Strawberries, wheat and sugar beets in greenhouses outside of the GMI. For the needed light intensities the 3D Simulations will calculate the exact amount of needed luminaires focusing on uniformity and optimum energy efficiency.
