Kreuk’s greenhousenow has three layers, the lowest onefitted with Philips GreenPower LEDproduction modules, the deep red/white type. ‘This light combination wasselected because the red light providesexcellent growth for the tulips while thewhite light increases visibility of thecrops for the employees. It has a clearlypositive effect on the crop, the tulipshave a deeper color green and greaterelongation.’ explains Kreuk. ‘Theoperating costs per square meter arelower because LEDs have a much longerlifespan than a fluorescent solution. Italso provides a tremendous differencein energy costs. One 35 W LED modulereplaces the normal situation with twofluorescent tubes of 58 W each. Thisrepresents electricity saving of 65%.’Philips LED Horti PartnerVan der LaanResultsEfficient use of space throughmultilayer system.
