CROP LIGHTING

WHAT'S NEW!

THE NEW 480 VOLT LUMAINAIRE WITH 200 VOLT HIGH PRESSURE SODIUM LAMPS

• LAMPS. The new 380-volt luminaire with 200-volt high pressure sodium lamps provides about 10 per cent more Photosynthetic Active Radiation (APR) than the 347-volt luminaire with 100-volt conventional high pressure sodium lamps. Higher PAR light means that growers can use about 10 per cent fewer luminaires to provide the same PAR light for the greenhouse, resulting in equivalent electricity savings of about 67 watts per luminaire.
• BALLAST. Existing conventional constant wattage ballasts were replaced with single reactor ballasts, which consume about 30 watts less electricity per ballast. This accounts for a saving of about four per cent of total lighting electricity costs.
• LIGHTING CONTROLS. A sophisticated computer lighting control system was installed that monitors ambient light levels and adjusts supplemental light levels as appropriate. The new system uses a hard-wired computer/.sensor systems that can be set to run when either all or half of the lights are on. This control systems saves about seven per cent of lighting electricity consumption, compared with a conventional system without lighting controls.

Whether you need a few lights or hundreds, USGR can provide computer-generated plans for the best lighting and cost.
