Climalux introduces new LED light system for horticulture

Several years ago, the horticultural sector has started to use LEDs as artificial light systems. However, developments were still needed in terms of efficiency. With a smart combination of new LEDs, steering and cooling technology, Climalux is making headways with the CLX V1000; an artificial lighting system which can be used without supplemental light like HPS.

Climalux created an innovative system which emits a spectrum similar to daylight, which requires considerably less energy and increases production. The fan, mounted in the fixture, acts as an active cooling element but can also be used to create an active, vertical air flow. Next to that, each individual fixture can be monitored and steered from a distance, which can be used to optimize settings and to perform maintenance.

HortiTech is currently executing performance and demonstration researches for Climalux, together with renowned growers, at the World Horti Center in Naaldwijk, The Netherlands. The complete growing cycle for both cucumbers and tomatoes is being researched and documented, to show how the CLX V1000 performs in a practical growing environment.
