A sneak peek into London's underground shelter farm
Herbs are grown 100% under artificial illumination. The entire farm is equipped with Valoya’s LED grow lights due to the high quality spectrum but also because of low energy consumption and negligible heat emission. In total 1620 pieces of Valoya’s L-Series illuminate the growth area.
Valoya’s AP673L spectrum stimulates leaf development while delaying flowering. This makes it ideal for leafy green vegetables, herbs, microgreens and other plants harvested before flowering. The spectrum is a wide (also known as full or continuous) spectrum which contains bits of all spectrum colors including outside the PAR area, just like the sun. Unlike the sun, parts of the spectrum which do not contribute to efficient plant development have been reduced thus creating a light which feeds the plant only with the information it needs resulting in optimal development.
Vertical farms are one of Valoya’s three main market segments.
