Hort Americas is offering three different Philips GreenPower LED Flowering Lamps, which are UL Certified. These lamps are energy saving alternatives for extending day length for plants to control flowering and for the production of vegetative cuttings and seedling plugs. The lamps can save over 80 percent on energy costs and have been developed as replacements for incandescent lamps. The LED lamps have a standard fitting and are suitable for direct replacement of incandescent lamps in existing installations without the need for any modifications.

Each of the LED lamps offers a specific light wavelength recipe for different plants. The three lamps available are: 100 percent far red (FR), 16 watt. 6,000-hour life expectancy; a combination of deep red and white (DR/W), 18 watt, 7,000-hour life expectancy; and a combination of deep red/white/far red (DR/W/FR), 18 watt, 10,000-hour life expectancy. The white color in the lamp creates a pleasant working light, which also enables growers to examine the plants effectively when the lamps are turned on.
