The controllable LED fixture replicating the sunlight
The FL100 basis fixture can be equipped with a large range of different diodes, and to accommodate an increasing demand from our customers ranging from plant researchers to garden centers, we created a spectrum designed to replicate the light coming from the sun. The minimalistic design means easy installation using standard connection technology, and with a minimal shadow footprint. This makes it a natural replacement to the conventional mercury and fluorescent systems used today.
The FL100 Sunlight boasts the spectrum with an almost perfect match of the rays of the sun – hence the name FL100 Sunlight. The FL100 Sunlight is recommended for growth chamber applications where natural light is important or for supplementary lighting where colour recognition is important; for instance, in a garden center.
Our FL100 variants are especially suitable for growing in layers, they can be interconnected – and are very suited for vertical farming.
One of the major benefits of this fixture is the ability for control. Investing in a controllable LED fixture means you always have the option to change the light to keep up with new research findings, a new culture/culture stage, or simply to dim the fixture when less light is required.
The FL100 Sunlight is designed with an optical lens system that enables a traditional installation plan similar
to HPS with homogenous distribution profile 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.
