At a value of $ 7.8 billion last year, the environmental agricultural market subject to global control (CEA) expands with an annual growth rate of 12.2 % and is expected to reach $ 22 billion by 2033, according to the recent market research report. With lighting as the largest operational cost in CEA facilities, opportunities for internal farmers abound to save energy and reduce expenses with the right lights.
The average effectiveness of the listed products increased by almost 25 % since DLC launched a list of gardener lighting products (QPL) in 2019. There are now more than 1,375 products from about 150 factories on the QPL gardener – an increase of more than 54 % in the listed products.
QPL in DLC provides CEA lighting determinants, diversified contractors, and CEA farmers abundant opportunities for savings. The list features a set of useful information for all parties involved in horticultural lighting projects.
For example, do you know …
QPL only lists horticultural lighting combinations that meet the strict performance standards that have been verified to an external entity for efficiency and lighting of light, which are designed to ensure the improvement of each product listed for plant growth. Farmers and their contractors can use QPL to find lamps designed to meet the accurate needs of the crop. Whether it is the right spectrum, intensity, light distribution of specific types or growth stages, QPL allows users to search for main lighting measures – optical radiation (PAR), photon optical flow, and more. Knowledge of the lighting spectrum (spectrum distribution) is the factory performance key, and this QPL provides each listed product- as it stores lighting options suitable for species and life cycle. QPL guarantees that all matches on the list reporting the output of the light based on PAR – a feature that helps in understanding products that really support optical representation and plant growth. PPF displays the total use of useless light per second. All installations on QPL reports, while giving a clear scale for the possibility of a plant productivity. PPE shows on QPL the effectiveness of the installation on electricity to usable lighting in the PAR-so farmers can invest in efficiency, not just energy. Suitable light levels and monotheism can make or break crop crops. QPL helps farmers to evaluate and compare beam distribution types to ensure that coverage is uniform across the plant’s umbrella. Since many facilities offer discounts for the installations listed in DLC, farmers who choose QPL products can reduce the costs of lighting upgrade and increase the return on investment.
The DLC’s horticultural lighting program aims to accelerate the LED dependence on a large -scale LED technology and energy saving in the horticultural lighting sector. Portressing QPL is a major tool for this goal. Access to a simple QPL – just create a free DLC account to start searching.
