LED grow lights to quadruple sales worldwide by 2021

Worldwide markets for LED Agricultural Grow Lights are growing as units support more efficient indoor growing.

RnRMarketResearch.com's 2015 to 2021 report has found LEDs are less costly than alternatives and save "significantly" on electricity costs. The company says rapid adoption of LED lighting in general is occurring and rapid adoption of LED grow lights worldwide is occurring as systems provide peak growing efficiently.

LED grow light module markets at $395 million in 2014 are forecast to reach $1.8 billion by 2021.

The market research company says rapid growth is anticipated as greenhouse and plant factory growers find the LED grow lights improve agriculture.

It adds: "LED grow lights are more powerful and efficient than the older generation high-pressure sodium and metal halide bulb grow lights. They lower the electricity bill and produce less heat.  Less heat allows putting the light closer to plants, the plants do not get burned.

"Next-generation LED grow lights deliver dramatic power savings and unmatched product reliability. LED grow lights are shifting as illustrated by the new Everlight GL-Flora LED lighting fixtures for agriculture. They offer low power, high-efficiency, uniform light pattern, homogenous light distribution at precisely the right wavelengths and color ratios needed for superior photosynthetic response.

"LED grow lights are different. Grow lights provide artificial light used for plant growth. The spectrum of growth lights is tuned to the plant growing task. Plant light has photons from the blue to red (400-700 nm) part of the spectrum. This is called growth light. Horticulture lamps address the role of light in the growth and development of plants. Plant growth is a function of photosynthesis.

According to the study: "Solid state electronics brings the same advantages to agriculture as it has brought to all other industry segments it touches. Growers are finding that they can achieve a rapid return on investment from substantially decreasing the energy costs associated with using grow lights, lengthening the growing season, eliminating chemical contaminants in the food supply, and significantly decreasing transportation costs for food production."

Companies Profiled: Illumitex, Everlight Electronics, Opto-LED Technology, Syhdee, Epistar, Philips, GE, Sanxinbao Semiconductor, Valoya and LumiGrow

Sterner Lighting's Energy-Saving Executive LED Family is Complete with Introduction of the RT25

Hubbell Lighting, a world leader in lighting innovation, announced today its latest innovation to quickly and simply upgrade HID lighting—Sterner Lighting’s Executive RT25 LED Luminaire and LED Upgrade Kit. The LED luminaire is bred from the popular Executive RT family that blends traditional rectangular styling with sophisticated engineering making it the perfect solution for area and site lighting in business parks and campuses.

Available as a full fixture or as an easy-to-install retrofit door assembly/ kit, the RT-25 delivers the same performance as the RT-21, but in a larger form factor. Offered in two lumen packages (6000 and 12000 lm), the luminaire is an energy-efficient solution to replace up to 250W HID products for up to 56% energy savings. Delivering 3000K, 4000K, 5000K or Amber CCT light, the RT-25 is versatile offering Type II, III, IV, VM, VS and VW distributions to provide superior uniformity over legacy fixtures.

With the Executive’s unique “On The Door” mechanical system, everything is easy to install, maintain, and will stand the test of time. Using a front-push button—an Executive trademark—the fixture is fully accessible. Both the LEDs and driver tray assemblies mount directly to the extruded doorframe making servicing simple. Additionally there is no need to shut down power to the circuit, as all power is terminated once the door opens. To prove how quick and easy installation is (20 seconds or less), check out the installation video here.

Designed to DLC requirements, the RT-25 delivers zero-uplight performance with very little wasted light.

Both the Executive RT-25 LED Luminaire and LED Upgrade Kit are compatible with Hubbell Lighting’s wiHUBB® wireless control technology. For additional information on Sterner Lighting’s Executive Series LED Luminaires, please visithttp://www.sternerlighting.com.

Liteweave™ Linear Leads A New Age Of Aesthetic Efficiency For Lighting

Hubbell Lighting, a world leader in lighting innovation, announced today an LED luminaire set to revolutionize the built environment—Litecontrol's Liteweaveþ Linear. Featuring a slender profile smaller in both width and height than a typical smartphone, the transformational Liteweave™ Linear is designed to provide an unobtrusive and elegant solution for commercial, educational and civic applications.

The Liteweave™ Linear is the first commercial suspended luminaire to use flexible printed circuit board LED technology which significantly reduces luminaire size. The result is an aesthetic never seen before—one that is neutral from a distance and visually interesting up close. And with no visible frame or border, the Liteweave uses a precision-formed light diffuser to weave light across the visual plane, delivering a 30/70 indirect/ direct distribution.

Featuring seamless connections, clear row joints translate the “weaved” appearance for continuous, uninterrupted rows of light to complement a variety of architectural designs. Installation is also simple, featuring gossamer thin aircraft cable, which is adjustable vertically, for height, and horizontally, to avoid small obstacles. Liteweave also ships to the contractor with both the cord and end treatments pre-installed.

Available in 3400 and 4600 lumen packages (per 4'), the Liteweave™ Linear delivers beautiful efficiency with an efficacy of up to 101 lumens per watt. Additionally, compared to a typical 9.5” wide linear fluorescent, Liteweave™ Linear uses 25-30% less energy, 60% less material and is 70% lighter in weight. Offered in three color temperatures (3000K, 3500K, and 4000K), the luminaire delivers an LED solution that is attractive, imaginative, and architectural.

A new look. A new philosophy. A refreshing new way to provide illumination in the built environment.
