PHILPS launched LED lighting module for agriculture

Holland Royal PHILPS Electronics Corporation of Japan PHILPS electronics Japan (headquarters in Tokyo) in the "Japan horticultural plant factory and Exhibition 2012" (GPEC 2012) on display for the LED lighting module of greenhouse cultivation and the multi plant factory. In Holland, the use of LED lighting as a "auxiliary light source," the rapid increase in the case, PHILPS plans to explore this purpose in japan.

In Japan, most of the LED lighting used in agriculture is used as the main light source in plant plants. In promoting agricultural reform in Holland, more and more will be used as auxiliary light source, the sun is difficult to illuminate the place. The background is that farmers in Holland are actively introducing the "multi-layer cultivation" approach. Holland mainly from the perspective of the landscape, strict restrictions on greenhouse construction sites and area, so many farmers are using the effective use of narrow places of multi-storey cultivation. In the cultivation of students and the tulip plants often see LED auxiliary light source. Because multilayer cultivation, the upper layer than the upper layer is difficult to illuminate the sun, therefore, mostly use LED light to supplement the lack of illumination.

Japan's multi-layer cultivation is not as common as Holland, but in a highly dense and intensive cultivation, PHILPS electronics Japan company believes that the use of LED lighting module also has room for import. For example, when used in tomato cultivation, can improve the lower half of the fruit yield and sugar content.
