Climalux introduces new CLX-2 full-LED grow light

Climalux, based in Hoek van Holland, have developed a new full-LED grow light, equipped with SMD LEDs that are attached to a single LED engine. Therefore, the new grow light has a higher light output and offers the grower an array of light spectrum options.

The new CLX-2 grow light is now available and can be supplied in any light spectrum required, with a maximum efficiency of 4.1 µmol/J.

The CLX-2 grow light consists of a dimmable lighting unit and a vertical ventilation system that ensures uniform distribution of heat and moisture throughout the greenhouse. The light intensity and fan speed can both be controlled independently
Climalux is fully focused on the development and production of high-quality full-LED grow light systems for vegetable cultivation and ornamental horticulture. The complete system is supplied, including CLX-2 grow lights, a control unit and power supply unit. Local technicians will install the system, under supervision of the Climalux team.

Climalux using the Horti Lighting Protocol

The horti lighting protocols are designed to create a universal language for greenhouse equipment, particularly dimmable LED lighting and climate computers, enabling them to communicate in a plug-and-play manner. This standardizes communication, reduces implementation costs, and helps growers optimize their operations.

Research into LED with fan gives unexpected results

Last winter, research was conducted into the effects on the greenhouse climate of an LED grow light with a built-in fan in tomatoes. Ary de Jong, director of HortiTech, found that the fan ensures more air movement, a lower RH and a higher moisture absorption than growers who do not use LED ventilation. “This results in considerably lower energy consumption and less discoloration, although this last result was not expected. It does cost a little more electricity, but you get something in return.”
