Lumileds adds domed 120° version of LUXEON SunPlus 20 horticulture LEDs for higher PPF on crops

Lumileds LLC of San Jose, CA, USA has added to its line of horticultural LEDs a domed 120° offering of the LUXEON SunPlus 20 Line, suitable for uniform, high photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) output. The 120° radiation pattern enables more light to be directed at the crops. The line is designed to meet the needs of a number of growers.

“Growers are continuously looking for ways to boost crop yield,” says Anthone Chong, product manager of the LUXEON SunPlus Series. “With the LUXEON SunPlus 20 Line’s higher PPF output and tighter radiation pattern, they can increase their crop yield in a given area.”

With five color options, the LUXEON SunPlus 20 Line provides what is claimed to be the widest spectral offering for horticultural applications in a compact footprint (2.0mm x 2.0mm). All of the firm’s horticultural LEDs are tested and binned by PPF, at 85°C. The line also includes Cool White and broad-spectrum Lime, which typically are used during crop inspection.

Lumileds will continue to offer the line of LUXEON SunPlus 20 LEDs to customers that prefer the 150° radiation pattern. Both LEDs are listed in the Lumileds Horticulture Lighting Calculator to test LED configurations prior to building fixtures. Users can select one LED combination that matches a crop’s requirements or adjust the light spectrum through different stages of plant growth.

The newest addition to the LUXEON SunPlus 20 Line joins the existing LUXEON SunPlus 2835 Line (launched last November).
