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.

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.”

Full-LED lamp with fans offers solution to blotchy ripening

Full-LED grow lights from Climalux with a built-in fan were used in trials performed over the past few months with tomatoes grown at the PROOF R&D centre in Honselersdijk. The focus of this trial was on growing high-quality tomatoes under LED lighting.
