Hortilux's mission is to increase useful knowledge for growers so that they get the most return from their grow light installation. As part of that mission, the company has conducted research into the ideal light and temperature conditions for medicinal cannabis in collaboration with Wageningen University. The results of this study provide growers with valuable insights to optimize their production and improve the quality of their end product.

Marcel van Koppen, cucumber crop coordinator at Rijk Zwaan, is enthusiastic about the trial with cucumber cultivation under LED lighting from Hortilux.

With an efficacy of up to 4.1 μmol/J, a power of up to 1400W and an output of over 5500 μmol, the Hortilux NXTLED is the most efficient fixture on the market.

As of Wednesday, July 5, 2023 we will move to IJzerwerf 17, 2544 EP in The Hague. Group-wide, we have long cherished the wish to house the three companies DoolIndustries, Agrilight and Hortilux in one building. This is both from an efficiency point of view as well as to increase cooperation between the companies.

You have undoubtedly noticed that the transition from HPS (High Pressure Sodium) lighting to LED in horticulture is accelerating. This is due to both high energy prices and the fact that LED has now become extremely efficient and produces the same or even better cultivation results than HPS. It is clear that LED has now become leading. For that reason, our supplier has decided to stop selling drivers for our 600W HPS fixtures.

Toen torenhoge energieprijzen de bedrijfscontinuïteit bedreigden, wendde Rosa Danica A/S, een toonaangevende Deense producent van potplanten, zich tot Hortilux voor advies over manieren om de belichtingskosten te verlagen. Ondanks enige bedenkingen bij LEDs besloot het bedrijf te investeren in een hybride HPS/LED-systeem.
