QUÉBEC, CANADA - The fresh produce industry is stepping into the light, as a great number of operators continue to implement new LED technology. Sollum Technologies is one company making this all possible, and recently released the newest addition to its 100 percent programmable smart LED lighting solution. Known as the SF05A, this solution marks a considerable advancement for Sollum and horticultural lighting technology as a whole.
“Our newest fixture confirms once again that our 100 percent programmable smart LED lighting solution is ahead of its time, set to revolutionize horticultural lighting,” explains CEO Louis Brun. “I would like to thank our teams, clients, partners, and all who supported us as we continued innovating through the unpredictable and difficult circumstances of this past year.”
According to a press release, some of the key features of the new SF05A include:
- An increase of the light output by 21 percent
- An increase of the energy efficiency by 16 percent
- A reduction of the Total Harmonic Distortion of 16 percent
- Advanced autonomous monitoring
- Self-upgradable system
The solution was reportedly designed and manufactured in Canada and is lighter and even easier to install than before. Its spectrum quality and dynamic spectrum rectification capability were enhanced in order to provide growers with the 100 percent programmable, full spectrum smart LED lighting solution.
The fixture’s integration with the SUN as a Service® cloud platform has been streamlined to make assimilation into a greenhouse’s software infrastructure seamless. Greenhouse growers also benefit from improved fixture functionality for controllable and automated light system monitoring, the press release noted.
“Sollum’s engineering and manufacturing teams did a fantastic job in designing our newest light fixture,” said CTO François Roy-Moisan. “We delivered a superior yet affordable technology that represents the cutting edge of lighting innovation.”
