- Guo Yongliang, Technician, Vegetable Research Center
Customer Challenge
The Center is a PC greenhouse complex has about 2,000m2 of space, used primarily for cultivating vegetableseedlings. The greenhouse was originally illuminated withnatural daylight, but as heavy smog increased in Beijing,the amount of natural light hours decreased.Lower lightlevels caused vegetable seedlings to either grow moreslowly or more quickly, meaning the Center could notguarantee a consistent supply of standard seedlings.
The right lighting
In 2013, the Center implemented a revolutionary full LEDstereoscopic grow lighting system in its new glass greenhousefor tomato production. It combined Philips GreenPower LEDtoplighting on the greenhouse ceiling and Philips GreenPowerLED interlighting between the tomato plants. After severalyears of experience with this system, the Center has amasseda rich body of experience in supplementary LED lightingapplications.
