Hubbell Industrial Lighting Revolutionizes Indoor Horticulture with NutriLED

Hubbell Lighting, a world leader in lighting innovation, launched today a LED fixture capable of delivering nearly 100% usable light for plant growth with virtually no wasted energy—Hubbell Industrial Lighting’s NutriLED.

A breakthrough in horticultural technology, the NutriLED provides spectrally tuned light to optimize growth and germination for virtually any indoor horticulture application. With studies showing increased growth rates and yields from growers utilizing LED lighting, now is the time to convert high-pressure sodium (HPS), metal halide and fluorescent to more efficient LED sources.

Plants only absorb the blue wavelength and red wavelength portion of light, not utilizing any of the other wavelengths. NutriLED’s ideal blend of red and blue wavelengths and light intensities for chlorophyll absorption means there is virtually no wasted energy producing spectrums of light which are not beneficial to plant growth. Offering up to 88% energy savings over traditional non-LED grow lights, the NutriLED delivers an enormous energy and maintenance savings and greatly minimizes waste. As a direct result of significantly reducing the radiant heat produced by conventional lighting technology, water usage can also be reduced up to 50% and the need for supplemental HVAC cooling loads may be completely eliminated for some applications.

Specifically designed to allow for multiple mounting configurations, the NutriLED can be installed linearly or in parallel, providing beneficial light to plants from virtually any angle. Additionally, the NutriLED’s unique optical design delivers controlled, uniform illumination featuring a 60-degree beam spread that yields a 1:1 spacing ratio.

Columbia Lighting's LXEP Drives Parking Garage Efficiency

Hubbell Press Release: Hubbell Lighting, a world leader in lighting innovation, announced today that Columbia Lighting has introduced an energy-efficient LED lighting solution built specifically for parking garage applications—the LXEP.

Featuring an extra wide-angle light distribution to illuminate parking bays, the LXEP reduces the number of fixtures required for garages while providing uniform light. Available in three linear lengths (2’, 4’, or 8’), the luminaire is offered in lumen packages ranging from 3,950 to 19,700 lumens. The 2’ has a nominal lumen range of 3950-4900; the 4’ option is available in 3700-9850; and the 8’ LXEP delivers 7400-19700 lumens.

With light per fixture energy savings of up to 65% over fluorescent or HID sources, customers gain a quick return on investment. Additionally, the LXEP’s rated life is 60,000 hours (100,000 projected)—twice that of fluorescent and up to six times that of HID. This reduces maintenance and time needed to keep a parking garage safely lit. The LXEP is also available with exclusive wiHUBB® technology preinstalled for even greater control and savings.

The LXEP is an instant-on light source with an optional battery back up and is compatible with a sensor to turn off or reduce light based on occupancy or available daylight. The luminaire also features 100% DR equivalent lenses for demanding locations and has a smooth housing for easy cleaning.

All three sizes of the LXEP come standard with IP65, IP66 and IP67 rating, F1 Weatherability UV resistance, Wet Label Spray and 1500 PSI Hose-Down certifications. The LXEP meets the rigorous requirements for DLC, and is currently DLC pending.

Columbia Lighting stands behind the high quality and reliability of its new LXEP offering a five-year warranty.
