Philips GreenPower LED Toplighting Force 2.0 Unlocks Lighting Intelligence
June 10, 2024 Signify, a multinational lighting corporation, announced the launch of its latest innovation, the Philips GreenPower LED toplighting force 2.0 (TLF 2.0). Designed to further enhance horticultural grow lighting, this system offers more light, dynamic color control, high energy efficiency and optimal light uniformity, making it easy for growers to optimize crop yield and quality and manage their energy consumption.

High-Lighting Outputs to Optimize Light Uniformity
The TLF 2.0 introduces new high light output options. With additional light on the right setting, growers can reach higher yields. The newly developed Quadro beam lens ensures uniformity in all directions even at high light outputs. This enables fewer fixtures for the same surface, reducing installation costs and maximizing light efficiency. The rectangular beam shape provides uniform light distribution, including shorter distances to the head of the crop.
Dynamic Multi-Channel Color Control
Another feature of the TLF 2.0 is its multi-channel color controllability combined with the Philips GrowWise control system. This allows growers to adjust the light spectrum dynamically for precision control in crop development and morphology and optimizes light output. Integrated with existing climate computers, the tailored lighting solution safeguards steering based on external factors such as sunlight or changing energy prices to manage consumption and yield, adapting to the specific needs of the crop and its development stage.
Growers can independently control far-red light for special end-of-day treatments, or switch to the most energy-efficient spectrum when less efficient parts of the spectrum are not required. This flexibility is particularly useful for crops that have highly variable light demands like cucumber, chrysanthemum and strawberries, or for young plant production where specific light conditions during the darker seasons are vital.
Wireless or Wired Control
Next to existing wired control, the Philips GreenPower LED toplighting force 2.0 allows for wireless control integration. In both cases, wired and wireless, no additional control cables are required, simplifying installation and maintenance. The wireless controls option offers control of each compartment in the greenhouse separately to match the growth phase of the crop. It should also lower installation costs for the renovation of existing installations.
