In addition to the energy saving, a higher uptake of water and nutrients was observed, which affected the growth of the plants. The plants in the Climalux department appeared to be stronger, fuller and more powerful than in the reference.

For the comparison, LED lamps with an identical colour spectrum and the same electrical power were hung in the reference department. Both departments were equipped with the same technology. With the climate settings, watering and planting activities, an identical crop was aimed for in both departments. The plant measurements started in week 46 and were carried out weekly. Leaf samples were also taken to gain insight into the nutrient uptake.

All Climalux grow lights are composed of a dimmable lighting unit and a vertical ventilation system, which distributes heat and moisture evenly throughout the greenhouse. This system not only cools the LEDs effectively, but also moves the air approximately four times per hour.
