What if you could allow for reflectors from SON - T light fixtures with a new stratum that better reflects the light and moreover create a better spectrum ? Then you reach two birds with one stone and also the reflectors , that have already been more or less written off , will get a second or even a third life . And that is quite sustainable .
The relevant finishing and processing method were develop by Raymond Lescrauwaet of Lescrauwaet BV - Hilversum and were first presented at the GreenTech last calendar month under the name of Reflecoat . “ We have extensively tested and repeatedly measured it to be capable to estimate what it will do withphotosynthesis and photomorphogenesis . With our heat - immune lightness - reflect coatings , it appears that , depend on the circumstances , the light output can indeed be increased and the spectrum improved . The luminousness spectrum can also be controlled to a certain extent with the coating colors , for the time being , white , blue and cherry-red . “Raymond Lescrauwaet and Javier Meyer from Aqua4D , Robert Kraayvanger from Beacon and Olivier Begerem from 2Grow . Together they presented a parcel of solutions with which irrigation and clime can be optimized further .
The finishing can therefore be a solution for companies that are not yet concerned in induct in light-emitting diode ignition . “ Sometimes that investment funds is too big , but also the installation of LEDs does not needs mean progress . For example , light-emitting diode do not usually retain the total spectrum , because infrared and far infrared in particular , are normally disappearing . Also many growers simply need the hotness in their cultivation . "
In addition , ( the app of ) SON - MT light fixtures can often also be combine well with light-emitting diode controller light . " For mellow greenhouses with low plants and therefore a relatively large length between lamp and plant , we are still carry on to develop maintaining the existing light intensity but with a better light spectrum . "
Dutch pilot undertaking are presently underway at a cucumber grower , a lisianthus agriculturist and a roseate cultivator . A first test with Brassica oleracea lettuce in Canada is also going to set off soon . The company is still looking for growers of , for example , alstroemeria , antirrhinum , bouvardia , celosia , chrysanthemums , freesia , lilies , matthiola , genus Ranunculus , statice , as well as agriculturalist of strawberries , aubergine , berries , blackberries , snort and various herbs .
As show schematicallyhere , the intention is to take this innovative coating to the cultivator , where possible together with the Aqua4D piss treatment and to make the differences with the existing site seeable through , among other things , 2Grow and Beacon Field sensoring . As can be seen in the exposure , these party jointly apportion a stand on the GreenTech .
