Customize the Spectra Recipe for your Plants’ Growth Cycle
Horticulture facilities that use LEDs as artificial light as primary illumination within vertical grow installations or for supplemental light within greenhouses is expanding greatly. Building dynamic spectrum control into the LED lights can provide improved yields and add incredible flexibility. With the ability to adjust the spectrum emitted, grow recipes can be implemented that change over the day or over the grow cycle for a particular plant, or with different plant species that may be grown in the same space at different times. Adding intelligence to horticulture fixtures can allow for experimentation and optimization for yields, health or energy efficiency.
ARKALUMEM
Using APT Intelligent Controllers to Increase Your Yield
Arkalumen offers APT controllers that are purpose designed to implement high power dynamic spectrum control in horticulture applications in a simple and flexible manner. The APT-HX5 allows for control over up to 1200W over 5 independently controlled channels in an IP65 encasement. The embedded DMX interface along with optional wireless Casambi BLE adder makes the solution integrate into a larger building management system.
Arkalumen also offers lower wattage APT-CV2 and APT-CV5 controllers that can be integrated into horticultural applications to control up to 5 independently controlled channels using a variety of user interface protocols. Arkalumen engineers are happy support light fixture manufacturers in the design and manufacturing of custom LED modules to ensure the full intelligent fixture solution integrates together seamlessly.
