Cree LED and SANlight partner on high-efficiency horticulture lighting
A partnership has been announced in which J Series products of Cree LED Inc of Durham, NC, USA (a Penguin Solutions brand) will be used in the new STIXX-Series luminaires of SANlight GmbH of Schruns, Austria, which specializes in LED lighting solutions for both commercial and home gardening applications.
Developed for applications with limited space, the STIXX fixtures feature a slim, space-saving design with module efficiency of up to 3.1μmol/J. Backed by LM-80 testing with TM-21 lifetimes exceeding 53,000 hours, the luminaires deliver what is claimed to be exceptional reliability and long service life. Advanced secondary optics not only direct light with maximum efficiency to the canopy but also fully protect the LEDs, achieving an outstanding IP68 rating for dust and water resistance – ensuring both performance and durability in any environment.
“SANlight brings a deep understanding of photobiology and a commitment to sustainable agronomy – both of which align perfectly with our mission to enable breakthrough lighting performance for growers worldwide,” says Cree LED’s president Joe Clark.
“Choosing Cree LED as our technology partner ensures that every grower can experience lighting that maximizes yield and efficiency,” says SANlight’s CEO Martin Anker. “The optimized full spectrum supports vigorous growth and healthy plant structure throughout both the vegetative and generative phases.”
With its modular design and versatility, the STIXX-Series can serve as a classic toplight, undercanopy light or in vertical farming applications. The system can be adapted to different growing setups – delivering uniform, diffused light at both low and high intensities to optimize yield, quality and energy consumption.
