Philips offers easy conversion from HPS to LED

Signify (formerly Philips) has a new GreenPower LED Toplighting Compact light which makes switching from high-pressure sodium to LED easier than ever. The compact, passively cooled LED toplighting provides a 1-to-1 replacement for HPS lighting, using your existing electrical connections and support infrastructure.

The high light output of 1,800 µmol/s and an efficacy of up to 3.0 µmol/J help growers, effectively optimizing crop growth, enhancing crop quality and cutting operational costs. Compared to a 1,000 W HPS fixture, the Signify LEDs produce the same amount of light and have a similar light distribution, while consuming 40% less power and emitting considerably less radiant heat.

The system is suited for most greenhouse crops needing light, including vegetables, flowers, and even cannabis.
