US (NY): New York lettuce grower starts with production under LEDs

In Berlin, New York, a renewed greenhouse for the production of lettuce is fully installed with a LED lighting system of Lemnis Oreon. In the last weeks of 2016 the lettuce was planted in the 1.5ha greenhouse. From the 2nd week of 2017 all LED lamps are fully operational, 16 hours per day. The cultivation system is provided by Dry Hydroponics, PB Techniek has taken the entire installation on its behalf.

The greenhouse has 150 uMol/m2 installed. With this lighting system, the grower can get in winter almost the same production as in the summer period. In addition, the selected spectrum contributes to a perfect quality of the crop with a beautiful color.

The growers have chosen the Oreon Grow Lights because of the efficient water cooling concept. This water cooling concept ensures that the LEDs remain optimally cooled, which is the best guarantee for trouble-free growing for many years. The high quality standard of the lamp also contributes to this. Additionally, the grower has full control over the thermal energy of the lamps, which ensures a more optimal growing climate with a energy conscious cultivation.
