The LED fixture for special lighting requirements and a controllable spectral composition
The FL100 Grow White LED top-light is a fixture emitting light in the photosynthetic active region of the visible light spectrum. The Grow White spectrum was developed together with growers with special lighting requirements and offers a full continuous spectrum. It is a combination of the Grow and the Sunlight spectrum, and combines the best of both worlds. This spectrum is used in production areas where a higher photosynthetic activity is required, or by growers requiring supplementary lighting where colour recognition and rapid, healthy growth are key factors.
Our LED solutions suit most modern production greenhouses in the world and are designed to withstand the harsh environment of a greenhouse and keep working year after year. The minimalist design means easy installation using standard connection technology, and with a minimal shadow footprint, the FL100 Grow White is able to produce good quality plants year round. This makes it a natural replacement for the conventional HPS systems used today.
Our FL100 variants are especially suitable for growing in layers, they can be interconnected – and are very suited for vertical farming.
The light spectrum can be designed for individual crops in combination with LCC4 climate control systems. An alternative to the LCC4 climate control system is a small Control Unit which controls up to 49 fixtures. A further alternative is the LED Light Controller, which can be connected with your climate computer from another provider. That way you can maintain the full control of your LED installation.
The FL100 Grow White is designed with an optical lens system that enables a traditional installation plan similar to HPS with homogenous distribution profle on plant level.

LEDs are far more energy effective than traditional lighting. With LED diodes you save energy and reduce your climate footprint compared to using HPS. In addition to improved efficiency, LEDs have a number of other environmentally friendly benefits: LEDs emit significantly less surplus heat, you produce less energy waste, as LEDs do not require frequent change of bulbs, and you maintain CO2 inside your greenhouse, as you do not open windows as with a warm HPS-fixture. Moreover, LEDs from DGT by Senmatic can be dimmed to limit unnecessary use of resources.
It has also been proven that blue and red LEDs are particularly effective in terms of growth regulation, and both shorten production times and optimize plant growth more effectively than chemical PGRs. As a result, you can reduce your use of chemicals. We also know that red LEDs reduce reproduction among pests.
