Growers Supply introduces LumiGrow LED horticultural lights

Dyersville, Iowa ? Growers Supply has teamed up with LumiGrow, Inc. to offer LED lighting solutions for greenhouse and controlled environment agriculture environments beginning in September. With the LumiGrow Pro 325 and 650 Horticultural Lights, growers can reduce energy costs and boost yields by providing the exact light levels and spectra that plants need.

LumiGrow Pro series lights feature a 50,000 hour rating without degradation, lasting up to 10 times longer than high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps. Further savings are achieved because these fixtures run 70 percent cooler than HID lamps, reducing greenhouse cooling requirements.

The LumiGrow Pro series is available in two models. Pro 325, with a typical energy consumption of 325 watts, is designed for commercial greenhouses and controlled environment agriculture, and will provide growers with 70 percent energy savings compared to a 1,000-watt HID light.

For growers and scientists who require a higher PAR output, the Pro 650 typically uses 650 watts and reduces energy costs by 40 percent versus a 1,000-watt HID light. The LumiGrow Pro 650 doubles the red and blue photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) output of 1,000-watt HID fixtures and the LumiGrow Pro 325 achieves parity with 1,000-watt HID lights.
