APPRECIATION OF OUR MARKET AND THE COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OFTHE SCIENTIFIC ASPECTS OF HORTICULTURE ARE OUR PRIORITIES

In 2012 the LED had well and truly embedded itself into the commercial lighting sector due totechnological advancements in reliability and performance. The regular inux of cheaply

manufactured and poor quality imported products and the obvious addition from the quality brandshad resulted in a tough, fragmented market.

One sector where uptake and acceptance of the LED was not as apparent was the horticulturalmarket, despite us seeing more hydroponically grown crops than ever before.

The market at this point did have the expected, imported products which were insucient in termsof quality, performance and reliability and a team of energetic and ambitious UK based lightingdesigners saw a gap..infact a gaping hole! There was no purely high quality, ultra high output,

UK manufactured horticultural luminaires. There was not a prestige productand thats when e-llume was born.

We set about putting together a market leading range of products in terms of quality, reliability andperformance. We were met with much resistance due to the aforementioned poor quality,

reputation killing products but we just love handing the naysayers one of our luminaires for a trial!The last two years have seen many LED converts and our results are outstandingoften

unbelievable.

As the LED horticultural sector continues to grow, we will always sit where our ambitions have led us,striving for the ultimate yield whilst oering a safe, environmentally sound and reliable product.

The time is now.

NOT SO LONG AGO IT WAS NOT BELIEVED THAT YOU COULD INCREASE CROP YIELD WHILSTREDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION.WITH E-LLUME THIS IS THE NORM.

HIGH EFFICIENCY. HIGH PERFORMANCE

PAR/QUANTUM LIGHT (400-700nm)The light that drives photosynthesis in plants is Photosynthetically Active Radiation or PAR light. This is also referred to as Quantum light as it is measured in units of moles striking an area over time (umol/m2s).PAR light ranges from 400nm to 700nm. The region brightest to the human eye is the area of least eect on the plants.Measuring PAR or Quantum light can tell you if your plants are getting sucient amounts of useable light.

Benets of LEDs

Light is an important horticultural production tool and a key factor in plant research. LEDs (light emitting diodes) are set to play a major role in horticultural lighting. With LED lighting, the growth light spectral output can be tuned, which makes it possible to apply the optimum light recipe at every stage of a crops growth. This capability, together with eective heat management, long lifetime,high luminous ecacy and energy eciency, opens up tremendous opportunities for growers and breeders. For the commercial horticulture market this means increased yield, early owering, faster (root) growth, and more economical use of space.LED is practical and a useable technology that produces the environmental savings we require. Our duty when considering environmental input is to present all the benets of LED technology and educate our clients.Co2 emissionsLighting is one of the easiest ways to save energy. Switching to green alternatives has an immediate impact on energy use, CO2 emissions and the environment. LED lighting supports sustainable design in several ways: it uses less energy, lasts longer (which means less frequent replacement and therefore reduced waste), is mercury free and can be housed in special luminaires designed for easier disassembly and recycling.Sustainability and respect for the environment are key values of e-llume. With LED solutions we take a major step forward in achieving both aims.

Plants Growth& .

The main properties of light that makethe plant grow well/ower:

Light quantity / intensityThe growth of a plant is strongly determined by the totalnumber of photons that it absorbs in the PAR region. In winter there is often too little natural light for plants to grow and continue to produce good owers and fruits.

Day lengthWith many plants, the time of owering is inuenced by the photo-period. For example, a Chrysanthemum plant will only bloom when the night is long. We call them short day plants.However, when you apply long day light to them, the owering will be surpressed.

SpectrumThe mix of colours in the light (spectrum) also stronglyinuences the development of a plant.

Light uniformityWhen using articial lighting, uniformity and constant quality of the light spectrum is very important for a constant quality of crop production.

Horto-Tune

Because of our ability to manipulate the output of the LED we can recreate the exact spectral requirements of any crop like never before. Frequencies are the result of years of scientic research into photosynthetic ecacy. In simple terms, our luminaires provide the absolute best possiblelight to allow your crops to ourish.Other factors can also be controlled for example canopy height and plant density.At e-llume we provide the best possible toolsthe rest is over to you.

& Jargon Lighting HorticulturalExplained

PARPhotosynthetically Active Radiation is denedby the CIE as the total photon exposure in the400 to 700 nm waveband range of radiationthat is absorbed by photosynthetic pigments.Coincidentally, this is almost the same range ofwavelengths that is associated with human vision(380-780 nm). However, human vision is mostsensitive to the green range of wavelengths(peak sensitivity is at 555 nm).

The visible spectrumThe visible spectrum is the proportion of electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation is the range of wavelengths that is called visible light or simply light. A typical human eye will respond from about 390 to 700 nm. In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 430-790 THz.

Chlorophyll aChlorophyll a is a specic form of chlorophyll used in oxygenic photosynthesis. It absorbs most energy from wavelengths violet-blue and orange-red. It also reects green/yellow light and as such contributes to the observed green colour of most plants. This photosynthetic pigment is essential for photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll bChlorophyll b is a form of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll b helps in photosynthesis by absorbing light energy. It is more soluble than chlorophyll a in polar solvents because of its carbonyl group. Its colour is yellow and it primarily absorbs blue light.

Traditional lamp data based on general information. Check your current lamp supplier for exact data. Further savings can be made by utilising the 3 switching modes thoughout the growth cycle.Due to the extended lamp life of LEDs over traditional discharge lamp installations, excellent maintenance savings can be achieved on lamp replacements and planned maintenance over the lifetime of the luminaire.
