LED horticultural luminaires are forecast to experience astronomical growth over the next 5 years as both the total amount of horticultural space and the adoption rate of LEDs increase rapidly.<\/p>\n

Unit sales are forecast to grow between 2015 and 2020 at an 83.3% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).<\/p>\n

LEDs for Horticulture are the Smart Choice<\/span><\/h2>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]
<\/i><\/div>

Up to 75% Energy Savings<\/h3>

Up to 35% of the cost of greenhouse tomatoes comes from heating and lighting.<\/p> <\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

<\/i><\/div>

Up to 90% Water Savings<\/h3>

Less heat leads to less water evaporation, which helps to address the global water security crisis.<\/p> <\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]

Increased Growth Rates<\/h3>

Higher levels of red light increases tomato yield and the vitamin C content of mustard, spinach, and green onions.<\/p> <\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row section_type=”in-container” middle_content=”yes”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text text_style=”leader-text”]<\/p>\n

Example of the benefits of LEDs for tomatoes<\/h5>\n

In the early 1980’s, greenhouse tomatoes in the United States represented 1% of the retail market. Today they represent 80%, and it was the quality and taste of the tomato that drove this growth. With LEDs, producing a tomato requires only 20% of the amount of water needed to grow them in a field.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1630033574339{background-image: url(https:\/\/lumileds.com\/horticulture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/tomatoes-vine.jpg?id=771) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”400px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=”color” padding_top=”4rem” padding_bottom=”4rem” bg_color=”#f6f6f6″][vc_column]
