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.

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.

Hortilux Schréder is delighted to announce that it has an agreement with Daeyoung GS. Under the distribution agreement, Daeyoung GS is authorized to sell Hortilux products to its customers in South Korea. With this, Hortilux Schréder strengthens its presence in South Korea.

The RWB spectrum - red with a little blue and green light - still seems to be the most efficient LED spectrum for tomato cultivation. In addition, with closed screens, bumblebees seem to fly better under LED than under HPS. These are the conclusions from an LED trial that is being run in the Delphy Improvement Center . Stéphane André from Hortilux and tomato grower Jasper Oussoren from Roots are convinced that growing tomatoes under LED offers opportunities, but at the same time indicate that there are still many research questions.
