ams OSRAM LEDs for Horticultural Lighting

ams OSRAM LEDs for Horticultural Lighting are designed to increase plant growth by stimulating photosynthesis with different wavelengths. The green alternative to standard light sources, these durable and long-lasting ams OSRAM LEDs are ideal for horticultural lighting. Horticultural lighting offers an innovative way of producing food in a controlled environment, often close to large markets in urban centers. Precise LED lighting and advanced sensing solutions provide possibilities for growing food innovatively, easily, and sustainably within contained environments. The LEDs for horticulture lighting offer the possibility to adapt to the needs of different plants, monitor growth, optimize harvests, minimize fertilizer use, and reduce energy costs. Sensor-controlled spectrally adaptive lighting could fully substitute, complement, or optimize the required photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) for the best possible farming results. Smart LED-based horticulture solutions exhibit how users lives can be improved by technology.

These LEDs provide flexibility for growers with features like small form factors, high efficiency, and long life. These LEDs are dimmable, controllable, instant-on when needed, and can easily be set in cycles that promote healthy plant growth. High-efficiency luminaires minimize energy consumption, critical during exploding energy costs and energy-saving constraints. Best-in-class illumination uniformity allows for the placement of luminaires closer to the crops and saves energy compared to traditional luminaires with secondary optics. The lowest possible overall system cost is enabled using the highest power LEDs, reducing the required LEDs per square meter. This is supported by unmatched illumination uniformity for luminaires without the need for secondary optics and long-life performance. An overdrive capability of up to twice the nominal power class and low thermal resistance of the ams OSRAM LEDs provide maximum design flexibility at optimum efficacy.

The extensive emitter portfolio for indoor and vertical farm lighting covers all the critical growth-optimizing wavelengths and radiation-angle options needed for all types of plants and flowers. High-power LED devices enable small form factors for the luminaires and allow for less shadowing. Spectral sensing technology enables real-time monitoring of the total illumination at the plants to manage adaptive lighting recipes for growth while accounting for sunlight influences in greenhouses. Chip-scale spectral sensing technology extending from the visible to the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum opens emerging arenas of condition and growth monitoring.
