Netherlands: Wageningen UR and Philips open new LED facility

On Thursday, May 16, on the grounds of Wageningen UR Greenhouse Horticulture in Bleiswijk, the Innovation & Demonstration Center LED (LED IDC) will officially be opened. The IDC LED is an initiative of Wageningen UR and Philips. At the IDC LED, the possibilities of LED lighting in greenhouses will be examined and demonstrated.

To study the potential for LED application in horticulture, Wageningen UR partnered up with Philips.
