Signify has announced an expansion to its Toplighting product line with the Phillips GreenLight LED Toplighting Force. The company’s Toplighting Compact and Toplighting Linear products have also been updated, making them more efficient, increasing light output, boosting functionality, and control options.

“Before, growers usually wanted to reduce energy, so they chose LEDs to get the same amount of light they got with high-pressure sodium (HPS),” says Udo van Slooten, Business Leader Horticulture at Signify. “Now they know as well that using more light will significantly increase yield. We mean to serve both types of growers: those optimizing for yield, and those optimizing for energy reduction. That’s why we’ve expanded our Linear product range for optimal uniformity. It’s also why we’ve extended what our Compact range can do and added a new range for light-loving crops.”

Toplighting Force 

The Toplighting Force is for any light-loving crop. The light emits up to 3600 µmol/s utilizing the existing plug power of 1040W. Growers can also use full power for a single light point, allowing HPS module replacement or maintenance of the same energy expenditure.

The product comes in two beam sizes, a wide version to promote uniform growing and a standard light for efficiency.

Toplighting Compact 

The Toplighting Compact is a go-to 1:1 LED replacement for HPS systems.

“This year we’ve made serious improvements to our Toplighting Compact range, with the goal of offering solutions for all customer needs,” Van Slooten says. “All our Toplighting Compact LED grow lights will now come in both a wide beam [and a] standard beam so that we can cater to greenhouses of any height. We’re also offering dimming capacity. Using our GrowWise control system, as well as their own climate computers or greenhouse management systems, growers can dim lights to as little as 10% of maximum output.”

Toplighting Linear 

The Toplighting Linear is the light for those looking for uniformity.

When the lights are mounted on a c-profile, they can be adjusted to any position a grower may need allowing for uniform vertical light distribution.
