Great Lakes Greenhouses, Signify collaborate on lighting technology
Great Lakes Greenhouses, an Ontario-based grower, shipper and packer of hydroponic cucumbers, has upgraded its lighting system with new technologies to improve energy efficiency and enhance production.
Signify has provided Great Lakes Greenhouses with the Philips GreenPower LED toplighting compact and Philips GreenPower toplighting linear fixtures, combined with the Philips GrowWise Control Systems (GWCS). This enables Great Lakes Greenhouses to manage energy expenditures using custom light recipes while also improving their cucumber production.
“We started looking for a lighting fixture that supported our goal of ensuring the health of our crop while offering maximum efficiency and control. This brought us to the dimmable toplighting compact paired with the GrowWise Control,” said Mark Reimer, research and business development manager at Great Lakes Greenhouses.
“The system is designed with redundancy to ensure no disruption to our crop cycles, even in the event of a power outage,” said Chris Tawil, IT and special projects manager.
