Option 3: optimize system output and efficiency with the new generation In this way, the fixture using the new generation will be more efficient and lead to a greater energy saving. The second option is to keep the output of the fixture constant. Depending on the application case, the LED count can be reduced by a double-digit percentage and consequently the system costs can be reduced as well. That means the number of LEDs can be reduced with the more efficient GH CSSRM5.24. This will help to generate more biomass and shorten the harvest cycles – an important factor for growers.Īn alternative is to fix the efficiency and the performance output level of the system. This means that the fixture will simply have a higher performance in terms of photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) when using the latest generation of the OSLON Square Hyper Red.

The GH CSSRM5.24 can generate 18%* more output at the same efficiency level compared to the previous generation GH CSSRM4.24. The first option is to fix the efficiency level of the system. An improved wall-plug efficiency can be translated into several benefits for the luminaire manufacturer and for the grower as shown in the following scenarios: With a typical radiant flux of 1064 mW and a typical wall plug efficiency (WPE) of 76%* at 700 mA driving current, it outperforms its predecessor, the GH CSSRM4.24, which has a typical radiant flux of 1045 mW and a typical WPE of 74%*. The latest generation of the OSLON Square Hyper Red is the GH CSSRM5.24. Key to luminaire optimization are highly efficient Hyper Red LEDs with a wavelength of 660 nm. High efficiency enables low energy consumption and a faster amortization of the luminaire due to the lower electricity bill. Efficiency is vital for horticulture luminaires.
