Discover the unique Horti 2 series of luminaires
Horti 2 LED Growing Lamps is a series of four innovative luminaires for different types of crops operating according to patented light source pulsation technology (6 s / 8 s). The use of LED lighting for greenhouses makes it possible to solve the problem of the deficit of natural light, especially in winter. It allows to extend the production / vegetation period. This makes it possible to grow plants all year round - regardless of weather conditions.
Both types of lighting for growing plants - both those for greenhouses and those for home cultivation - have many advantages. First of all, they are energy-efficient, which means lower operating costs. In addition, they emit light of the right wavelength, which improves photosynthesis and accelerates plant growth and development. It is also worth noting that LED plant lamps are durable and efficient, which translates into a long life.
Greenhouse lights
Greenhouse lights are not only a way to achieve better results in plant cultivation, but also to reduce the negative impact on the environment. Compared to traditional light sources such as incandescent or fluorescent lamps, led lights for growing plants use less energy and emit less heat. This can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower electricity consumption. On the other hand, the pulsation technology used in Horti lamps allows even better adjustment of lighting to the needs of plants.

Leds for growing plants - inspiration straight from nature!
Observation of the world around us and the increasing demand and costs in the cultivation sector motivated us to create new crop led lights to support farmers, growers and cultivators in their daily work. We are aware that light plays an important role in the life and development of all plants. This is because photosynthesis is a process that, with the help of light, produces organic compounds, which are the plant’s main source of nutrition, directly released into the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, the days are shorter in autumn-winter-spring, which translates into a shorter growing season due to less solar energy absorbed by the plant. The increase in crop costs means that previously used artificial light sources, such as fluorescent, sodium or HPS lamps, begin to generate very high costs due to electricity consumption during this period of the year. The solution is new technologies and innovations in crop lighting with LED lamps. These are efficient light sources that can be successfully applied to various types of crops.
The original method
In nature, we can observe that light energy does not reach plants continuously. Many factors affect the amount and length of illumination, such as the season or weather conditions - cloud cover. In addition, due to the structure, the plants themselves can limit the reception of sunlight - overlapping leaves and the location of individual plants. Recognition of these phenomena and further observation of plant physiology in the wild has shown that the lack of constant, continuous sunlight is more beneficial to plant development. With inspiration taken straight from nature, our proprietary, globally unique, pulsed light system for plants was created. It is based on the modulation of light with a spectrum suitable for the crop.
Pulsed light method for plants
An innovation on a global scale and a rarity in the market of luminaires, dedicated to lighting plants is the use of Perfand LED's patented pulsed light output technology. Cyclically operating on the principle (6s more power for 8s less power).
It provides a periodic reduction in light intensity, which allows the photosynthetic apparatus to regenerate. This makes it even better prepared to efficiently use the next dose of light having a higher intensity. In this way 'the energy management of the plant becomes more efficient, closer to the natural phenomena that occur in nature.

Research conducted so far indicates that this is one of the best ways to replicate the mechanisms occurring during natural plant development while increasing light absorption and minimizing stress. Studies conducted in cooperation with the Polish Academy of Sciences have proven that on tested plants, the pulsed light patented by Perfand LED is more effective than the constant LED light and traditional light provided by HPS. In addition, the use of this solution maximizes productivity and crop savings.
Advantages of the pulsation system
The advantage of such a system is passive cooling. High temperature has a significant impact on shortening the life of LEDs, as well as other electronic components and subassemblies. The use of appropriate design of the luminaire and modulated illumination ensures the operation of components at the right temperature. Thanks to this, we do not need to use additional heat sinks and cooling fans, and the luminaire has a surface that is uniform, resistant to contamination and easy to clean (GMP).

Free choice of spectrum depending on the purpose
We selected the spectrum based on years of scientific research in cooperation with the Institute of Plant Physiology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, as well as in cooperation with crop owners in Poland and Europe. Each of our luminaires has the ability to select a spectrum depending on its intended use. Horti 2 luminaires provide visually white light that is safe for the eyes. However, they are enriched with diodes of different colors corresponding to the needs and ways of growing plants. For this purpose, we use LEDs from reputable brands such as Osram, Samsung and Lumileds. We have developed three types of spectrum based on the latest scientific research, as well as consultations with specialists
The CB spectrum is based on a spectrum composed in effect of white light. It is designed for hemp and many other crops like lettuce.
Spectrum A is based on the colors of the blue spectrum, it brings the best results in the early stages of plant growth - in seedling cultivation.
Spectrum B, based on the color of the red spectrum, brings the best results for plant growth - in greenhouse cultivation.

What effect do LED lighting lamps have on plant crops?
The rate of growth and maturation, as well as the tissue weight of plants, depend on the availability of light that is optimal for a particular crop species. The task of LED lighting lamps is to provide plants with an adequate beam of light at a time of limited exposure of crops to natural light. A great influence on the development of crops is the color of light, which should be selected according to the species and growth stage of plants. The goal of the LED crop lighting lamps we have developed is to optimize the radiation to which crops are subjected. The well-thought-out design of Horti LED lamps for crop cultivation makes it possible to emit light with the right composition of the optical spectrum for plants.
What colors of light emitted by LED crop lighting lamps are beneficial to plants?
The colors red and blue play the greatest role in the process of plant photosynthesis. They cause an increase in the production of chlorophyll in plants. Illuminating crops with LED lamps in red is especially important in the early stages of plant development, when leaves are forming. Blue light supports the rooting process of plants. The appropriate band of green light emitted by LED crop lamps influences the elongation of plant stems and weight gain.
Research on the effectiveness of LED luminaires for plant illumination
Our crop light fixtures are developed based on the latest scientific research in consultation with specialists, and the technologies used are tested at the Institute of Plant Physiology of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

They therefore provide optimum illumination of plants, while being friendly to the eyesight of those working on the crops.
Why is light for plants very important?
Light for plants is essential for their photosynthesis. In this process, autotrophic organisms containing chlorophyll in their cells produce nutrients. Photosynthesis also produces oxygen that is released into the atmosphere. This process occurs under the influence of light of a certain wavelength, which is 380 to 710 nm. The most important functions in plant organisms are performed by two types of chlorophylls - a and b. They absorb light perceived by the human eye as blue or red. For this reason, it is extremely important to provide crops with a light spectrum that is optimal for their growth and development, while also being safe for workers' eyes.
Benefits of illuminating plants with LED lamps
LED plant lighting is not only an economical solution, but also an ecological one. Such luminaires will provide plants with sufficient light while consuming little electricity. They also have an impact on improving the density and volume of crops, which will allow you to increase profits from their cultivation. In addition, Horti luminaires are equipped with a patented light modulation system, which will further increase savings.
