Horticulture LEDs extend color choices

Lumileds has added three new color options to its Luxeon SunPlus 35 line of LEDs, enabling wavelength tuning in both greenhouse and vertical farming applications. SunPlus 35 LEDs are binned and tested based on photosynthetic photon flux and come in 3.5×3.5-mm packages. The new deep red (650 nm to 670 nm) and far red (720 nm to 740 nm) wavelengths combine with the existing royal blue (445 nm to 455 nm) to enable spectrum customization for the crop being grown.
