Heliospectra new intelligent lighting systems in place at Swedeponic
The LX60 delivers what it promises. Overall, it looks very positive, says Ulf Jonsson at Swedeponic, a grower of fresh herbs in pots for the grocery market that already have the new lighting system in place in one of their facilities.
Agronomist Ulf Jonsson, who started Swedeponic in 1995, has been an important partner in the development of intelligent lighting technology for plant research and greenhouse cultivation since Heliospectra started in 2006. Today Swedeponic is a leader in Europe and is still an important partner - and customer.
For us it is of course important to constantly reduce our carbon footprint, minimize energy consumption while optimizing the quality of our products. The new LX60 is a part of this work and in the constant ambition, says Ulf Jonsson.
Swedeponic has had 22 fixtures of the LX60 in place at its facility in Hejsta outside Södertälje and will install another 22 LX60 in near future.
According Heliospectra calculations, the LX60 generates nearly 50 percent more light on the plants compared to its predecessor, L4A. It has also managed to reduce the weight to 8 kilograms from previously 13 kilograms.
- Ulf and Swedeponic was our first customer and has also become an important partner in our development. When our products live up to his and Swedeponic’s requirements, we know we got it right, says Staffan Hillberg, CEO of Heliospectra.
Earlier this spring Heliospectra’s Board took the decision for listing on NASDAQ OMX First North, which is scheduled for June 18. Also being implemented is a guaranteed rights issue of 22.65million SEK.
- New resources and broader ownership are key ingredients in this phase and in the aggressive international launch phase we are entering now. The LX60, which is our first volume product for professional greenhouse cultivation, has unique characteristics compared to the products and systems available on the market today, says Staffan Hillberg .
