Crops - Climalux

The grower determines the optimal configuration of the Climalux grow light system

Application for different crops

Every situation and every crop requires specific lighting. The full-LED grow light system with integrated vertical ventilation is suitable for every crop and is customised for every client.

The Climalux grow light system was developed in collaboration with growers

By working closely with growers and conducting diverse trials with different crop types, the Climalux system has become one of the leading full-LED grow light systems for vegetable cultivation and ornamental horticulture.

Features of the Climalux full-LED grow light system

Optimal production

The colour of the light, in combination with the vertical airflows, creates an optimal microclimate and guarantees the highest crop quality.

By applying CLX V1000 grow lights, crop growth is no longer threatened by harmful factors, minimising crop failure and increasing production from the growing surface area.

Vertical airflows

The application of LED technology leads to significant savings, and the combination of a grow light with the unique ventilation system truly makes the difference. These internal vertical airflows create a stable microclimate around each plant, greatly reducing the need to use outside air and extra heat. It also significantly reduces CO2 emissions. This form of climate control shares many characteristics of a completely closed greenhouse system.

Cost efficient unit heat

The energy generated by the light is fully utilised by the vertical ventilation system. The air flows through the plants from above and is mixed with the cold air below. This creates a constant heat flow that increases the greenhouse temperature by several degrees, reducing gas consumption.

Inhibitor reduction

Artificial inhibitors are often required to ensure the quality of a plant. However, they also have a negative effect on the environment and are highly cost-prohibitive. Intensive crop trials under CLX V1000 grow lights have proven that the use of inhibitors can be minimised; in some cases they were no longer required. This is due to the microclimate created by the light and vertical airflow.

Energy efficient cultivation

Climalux used energy reduction as its starting point during development of the CLX V1000 grow light, to save on both gas and electricity consumption. Not only from an environmental point of view, but also to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Energy produced by the grow light is fully utilised: 50% for light and 50% for heat. This makes the Climalux light 25-30% more efficient than an HPS grow light and a gas saving of 35% is achieved for heating.

Adjusted light intensity

The lighting and ventilation can be adjusted automatically and independently thanks to the light’s stepless dimming option. This creates a stable environment for the plant and requires less energy.

Fewer insects

The risk of crop damage caused by insects and mould is completely eliminated by the vertical airflows around the plant. These airflows prevent insects and moulds from spreading horizontally. Insects are ‘sucked’ up towards the light, where the temperatures are too high for most insects to survive. This ensures virtually insect and mould-free crop growth, and results in reduced crop losses.

Disease prevention

Due to the constant airflow, stable temperature, and consistent humidity, germs have less opportunity to develop. If a disease does manage to affect a plant, its spread is largely limited to the plants within the microclimate, and removing the affected plant is usually sufficient to prevent further loss.
