The benefits professional horticultural LED lighting
Better energy efficiency for reduced consumption
LED lighting is recognized for its energy efficiency. Compared to traditional light sources, LED lamps convert a greater proportion of electrical energy into useful light for plants. This efficiency allows significant reduction in energy consumption, thus contributing to lower operational costs and a reduced carbon footprint.
Longer lifespan for long-term savings
LEDs have a significantly longer lifespan than conventional lamps. The increased reliability of LEDs reduces frequent replacement costs associated with other lighting technologies, providing a long-term investment advantageous for farmers.
Criteria to take into account when choosing professional horticultural LED lighting
Some criteria are more important than others, we can mainly talk about quality of light spectrum,intensity,efficiency, consumption. However, an important element is to see the lighting equipment also through the management system as a whole. Adding LED lighting or modifying an existing installation does not simply mean replacing or adding an additional element. It must be taken into account that the entire greenhouse or growing room environment will be modified. The conditions for managing temperature, nutrient intake, CO2 or others will need to be adapted in order to optimize the system as a whole as much as possible.

HOW TO EFFECTIVELY USE PROFESSIONAL HORTICULTURAL LED LIGHTING IN A GREENHOUSE OR GROWING ROOM
One of advantages of LED lighting is to be able to do vary the light intensity andturn lamps on and off without the need for warm-up or cool-down time. This involves being able to simulate sunrises/sunsets, vary during the day depending on the sun perceived by the plants and therefore also optimize the energy consumption of the systems.
The fact of being able controlling the lighting amplifies the reduction in energy consumption already induced by the use of LEDs rather than fluorescent tubes or HPS lamps.
The different growth phases of plants and the corresponding lighting requirements
Plant needs differ from species to species. Each of them requires a personalized supply of light, at the right dose, at the right wavelength, in the right place and at the right time. It is thanks to a complex combination of wavelengths that the lighting effect will be optimal for rooting, growth, flowering and finally the quality of the harvest..
The effects will be specific depending on the color and wavelengths.
Thus, blue allows the activation of cryptochromes (involved in photomorphogenesis) and phototropins (involved in the direction of plant development). Red notably activates phytochromes, which control many aspects of plant development. As for infrared, it triggers or delays flowering and causes the plant to elongate. To these wavelengths, VGD adds others, complementary and which ensure the good health of the plant and, for some, the induction of stress resulting from the production of molecules of interest.
Best practices for installing and arranging LED lamps
Our industrial and physiological lighting advisors are always attentive to your projects. The lighting design office is then responsible for developing energy simulations to find the LED spectrum(s) suited to the development of your horticultural production. There distribution of lighting is also designed to allow easier installation based on existing structures, if possible. The best homogeneity is sought according to the heights available and the needs of your crop. If necessary, we manufacture tailor-made lamps and lighting for you to adapt as much as possible to the constraints of the environment of your plant cultivation.

The best models of professional horticultural LED lighting on the market
Today, it is difficult to find happiness in the ocean of technical and financial proposals on the market. To avoid making a mistake, it is advisable to contact suppliers directly in order to discuss your project in order to have a proposal that suits you and your project. In the horticultural LED lighting section, we go into detail about the elements to look at.
Replacement of HPS and fluorescent horticultural lamps with LED lighting
LED technology is an alternative to HPS (High Pressure Sodium), the current leader in horticultural lighting in greenhouses and fluorescent lamps, current leader in horticultural lighting in shelf-mounted grow rooms. A quality LED lamp offers a lifespan 4 to 10 times longer than that of competing solutions, that is to say 40 and 000 hours more, depending on its environment of use. Horticultural LED lighting also consumes 2 to 6 times less than traditional lighting. If the financial investment of an LED system is initially greater, it therefore proves more profitable and more economical over time.
Vegetal Grow Development's professional LED horticultural lighting includes Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, which allows it to adapt in real time in intensity. This function applies for several wavelengths, depending on the type of plant and its growth stage. It is interesting to note that 85% of an LED system is converted into photosynthetic light. This emits a sufficiently low temperature to optimize climate regulation in the growing environment.
VGD is committed to sustainable development, which is why our professional horticultural LED bulbs, lamps and lighting are designed to be recycled when they can no longer be used.
Recommendations based on user feedback and expert testing
The company has been supporting lighting projects for several years using its solutions. From the project on paper to its deployment, the teams study and propose solutions adapted to each project on a case-by-case basis because no project is similar. During a project study, a lighting audit can be carried out in order to optimize or modify existing installations.
The precision of the advice provided by VGD comes from years of experience in its field of horticultural LED lighting for professionals. The products and solutions offered by the company have evolved based on user feedback. The developments were also carried out in partnership and co-development mainly with institutions and seed companies.
