LumiGrow announced today that Dutch Heritage Greenhouse, a leading provider of chrysanthemums and other cut flowers, chose 60 LumiGrow Pro 325™ LED greenhouse lights for its Chilliwack, British Columbia facility. By using Pro 325™ LED greenhouse lights instead of high intensity discharge (HID) lamps, Dutch Heritage Greenhouse will gain higher plant yields and reduce lighting-related electrical costs by half.
Dutch Heritage Greenhouse selected LumiGrow LED lights for the reason that they are the only lighting products owning these features: ability to improve crop yields, compact hardware footprint to allow more sunlight to reach the plant canopy, lowest operating costs due to energy-efficient operation, and maximum red and blue PAR light output.
In the winter season, Dutch Heritage Greenhouse paid ten times electricity bill as much as that in summer. These higher costs are entirely due to the high cost of operating HID lights to supplement lower light levels in winter. Using LumiGrow LED lights in Dutch Heritage Greenhouse will reduce electrical consumption by 60 percent comparing to HID lights. What's more the LumiGrow LED lights need much less maintenance costs.
LumiGrow CEO Kevin Wells said, "The Dutch Heritage Greenhouse team rigorously researches, evaluates and implements techniques to improve crop performance and increase greenhouse efficiencies." Mr. Wells added, "We're very pleased that our LED greenhouse lights are selected by them."
