With all the new technical ontogenesis at Climalux last year , the development of yet another new grow illumination has also gained momentum . It involve the CLX-2 - 3ch full - LED grow lamp . " Thanks to the novel type of LEDs we start working with , we can now offer a grow lamp with three switchable channel , " explain Operations Manager Niels Damen .
Last year , the Dutch LED luminaire supplier made strides with a new grow lamp , the CLX-2 , a ego - develop Power Supply Unit , and also a newfangled heart for the arrangement , the Horticulture Control Unit . For those in the know , the HCU comes in the CTR series and MOD series . So developments followed each other in speedy sequence in Hoek van Holland . " We have gone through a gigantic development . In the do time , our nidus is on instauration for the 2025/2026 exposure time of year and trials . "
But before that happen , the prescribed institution of the CLX-2 - 3ch full - LED grow light will take after . That will take place at the IPM trade just in Essen . Climalux can be set up therein stand 3B42 . With the latest lamp , Climalux now also offers a three - channel option . " This founder the grower multiple selection in terms of spark spectrum , " he says .
The CLX-2 and CLX-2 - 3ch are similar in appearance
Boost functionThe angular manufacturer ’s current CLX-2 raise Inner Light is useable in several fixed spectra , include the daytime spectrum . With the three - channel version , the CLX-2 - 3ch , a agriculturist can choose his own spectrum for one main channel and two sub - channels . For example , study the combination of 85 % red , 5 % blue , and 10 % far - reddish for the main distribution channel , plus alternative to add , for exercise , dark-green via one of the hero sandwich - channels .
The lamp has an output of 750 watts . significant to punctuate is that it remain so even when a raiser throw . " This is possible thanks to the boost function the CLX-2 - 3ch is outfit with , " Niels explains . " The three channels can be switched on or off independently of each other . Even if the grower is not using the two submarine - channels , you could always boost the main channel to the full 750 Isaac Watts . That way , your kindling will always be at optimum efficiency . " The reparation has a maximum efficiency of 4.1 µmol / J.
FlexibilityAll Climalux grow lights are compose of a dimmable lighting social unit and a vertical ventilation system , which distributes warmth and moisture evenly in the greenhouse . Light intensity and external respiration speed are separately and infinitely adjustable .
The former Dutch - made fixity yield growers even more flexibility . Niels has notice that agriculturist are again tending towards a broader light spectrum , and do n’t always want to be stuck to one spectrum . Think of the tomato plant cultivator who also grows cucumbers or the ornamental grower who grows different types of crop throughout the time of year .
Climalux does not interfere with the cultivator ’s private selection of lighting scheme . With the luminaire , the company does offer growers the option of adapting their own culture practices to the latest research findings . After all , a portion of research is still ongoing , especially now that more and more crops have switched to chair . legal opinion are often still divided about what work best for which crop .
Climalux is produced in the Netherlands
FanClimalux itself is betting on practical enquiry . To this end , trials are presently turn tail , including on tomatoes . One of the love apple trials also emphatically focuses on the office of the incorporate ventilation system with which Climalux ’s fixtures are equipped . " I still see many advantages for this in the future , for instance , train at an optimum microclimate . These day , the grocery store is looking beyond just the light coming from a lamp . It ’s also about what inflammation does to the crop . That ’s where our upright devotee can play a positive part . "
