Priva Connext introduces new capabilities that make LED lighting control more precise, flexible and easier to manage. These innovations help growers apply advanced lighting strategies more consistently while getting the most out of modern LED installations.
Supporting modern LED lighting systems
Lighting systems in greenhouses have become more advanced. Growers now often work with different spectra, adjustable light levels and crop-specific lighting strategies.
The latest software version expands the Priva Connext climate and process computer so it can better support these modern LED systems. This makes it easier to manage advanced lighting setups within the familiar Connext environment.
"Everyone knows that light is essential for growth. Connext 916 goes a step further and gives you the opportunity to shape the full spectrum, color by color, at the right moment, exactly to the crop needs," said René Hofman, Product Manager Connext.
More precise lighting with micromol-based control
A key addition in Connext is micromol-based lighting control.
Light levels will be adjusted automatically when the desired light level is not achieved. Instead of adjusting lighting only through percentages. That is a more precise way to match intensity to what your crop needs.
This allows growers to adjust light levels more precisely throughout the day based on the needs of the crop.
Exact light control for stable lighting strategies
Priva Connext supports Horti light protocol (HLP) Exact Light Control. This feature helps maintain lighting levels more accurately and consistently.
Stable light levels make it easier to apply the same lighting strategy throughout the greenhouse. This helps create consistent growing conditions and supports reliable crop performance.

Consistent lighting strategies for crop performance
Together, these capabilities give growers more control over how lighting strategies are applied in daily greenhouse operations.
With improved control of greenhouse LED lighting systems and more precise light levels, growers can apply lighting strategies with greater accuracy; maintain stable light conditions for crops; and use your LED system's full flexibility to maximize Light Use Efficiency (LUE).
These improvements are particularly relevant for greenhouses that already use LED lighting or are planning to expand their LED installations.
Preparing your greenhouse for the next step
The latest Connext software helps prepare greenhouse installations for modern LED lighting strategies and future developments within the Connext platform.
Your installation partner will inform you about upgrading your Connext climate computer to the latest software version. In case of an Philips installation with GrowWise controller, work together with Priva to update or install Priva Connext 916.
