Finnish tomato grower chooses UK LEDs in new greenhouse

GE Current has announced an agreement with Agrifutura Oy, the Finnish producer of tomato brand Nams, to deliver a hybrid Lucalox HPS and Arize LED lighting solution in its new 25,000 m2 greenhouse.

The new facility will more than double Agrifutura’s indoor growing space, allowing the company to offer a continuous supply of tomatoes to more customers throughout the year.

With the first tomato crop to be planted in December 2021, the new greenhouse will use a fine balance of Lucalox high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps and Arize Element L1000 LED top lighting, in combination with natural daylight, to reach the target daily light integral (DLI) for every plant.
