When investing in a new grow light system, a one-off calculation is made of the costs and yields. But what if, over time, things start to change – within your business, in the market, or due to new insights in new cultivation technology? Then it's important to take a look at whether your grow light system is still as well-tuned to the current situation as possible. Read more...

More than half of greenhouse growers in our country have faced cost increases recently as a result of the high gas and electricity prices, according to a recent survey by Glastuinbouw Nederland. Hortilux recognises this and supports entrepreneurs in various ways with their energy saving. Read more...

Hortilux sets the bar high when it comes to the quality of its grow light systems, which is why the grow light specialist produces both LED and HPS systems in-house. In addition, the efficiency and light output are measured by an independent testing laboratory prior to products being launched on the market. Extensive testing of the systems' chemical density began recently. This testing enables the grower to be sure that they are investing in a grow light system with a maximum lifespan.

Grow light is one of the most crucial production resources for a greenhouse horticulture business, so it's only logical that, as a grower, you will want to get the maximum return from your grow light installation. Good and regular maintenance – preferably in the time around crop rotation – is therefore a must. It means that you are assured of the optimum quantity of grow light, and thus of maximum production.

Growing under LED is hot. And growers want to know all about it: there's a great need for knowledge. This was one of the findings that came from the overwhelming interest in the webinar 'Successful Cultivation with LED', organised by grow light specialist Hortilux last week in collaboration with GreenTech.

This is essential to consider when upgrading your HPS grow light system to hybrid or Full LED. It has consequences for the crop development, the evaporation of the crop and the energy input in the greenhouse.
