The LED fixture with controllable spectral composition – get better quality and higher output
The FL300 Grow LED top-light is a 500 watt fixture emitting light in the photosynthetic active region of the visible light spectrum. Our solutions suit most modern production greenhouses in the world and are designed to withstand the harsh environment of a glass house and keep working year after year. The minimalistic design means easy installation using standard connection technology, and with a minimal shadow footprint, the FL300 Grow is able to produce good quality plants year round. This makes it a natural replacement to the conventional HPS systems used today.
The light spectrum can be designed for individual crops in combination with LCC 4 climate control systems. An alternative to the LCC 4 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. So you can maintain the full control of your LED installation.
FL300 Grow is CE marked according to standards in horticultural lighting and ROHS compliant.
The Fl300 Grow is designed with a patent pending 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.

The greenhouse of PKM is one of the largest flower growers in Europe with a total area of 260,000 m2 and is well known for innovation in developing new plants and being a pioneer in new technology. During four successive growth seasons PKM has tested our LED systems, and from 2011 to 2014 more than 300,000 Campanula flowers were grown under our LED fixtures. The results demonstrate conclusively the advantages:
The conclusion was that despite the low electricity consumption the plants are growing very well in the “new light” and are the same or even on some parameters better than the HPS quality.
