New LEDs enable record-breaking grow lights for high wire crops

"Dynamic light strategy in high-wire crops already proved to be the optimal approach in the lighting season 2023-2024", says Koen Vangorp, CEO at MechaTronix . "Now we've updated our Coolstack® Dynamic Growlights. The redesigned fixtrue features the new Osram LEDs, resulting in an ultra-high efficacy of 3.8 umol per joule combined with a unique light spreading and depth into the crop."

Koen explains most growers have already invested in LED grow lights equipped with the ability to perform dynamic light strategies. "These growlights do not only allow crop steering by the daily light integral (DLI) but also by adjusting the light spectrum according to the crop's needs and/or the available radiation in the greenhouse."

Now MechaTronix goes to the next level in this strategy by adopting the new Osram Osconiq® P3737 LEDs in its Coolstack® Dynamic Growlights. Coupled with completely redesigned optics, tailored for high-wire crops like tomatoes and cucumbers.

"This results in an ultra-high efficacy of over 3.8 umol per joule combined with a unique light spreading and depth into the crop", shares Koen. "This new development also serves as the ideal solution for lower greenhouses with limited space from trellis to crop to implement a full LED light setup."

"Our commitment to innovation drives us to continuously push boundaries by providing growers with the tools they need to maximise yields and efficiency."
