Würth Elektronik Expands its Horticulture LED Portfolio

These LEDs feature a photon efficacy (PPE) of up to 4.9 µmol/J and a photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) of up to 6.34 µmol/s. The three LEDs – with wavelengths of 450, 660, and 730 nm – set new standards for professional lighting solutions in greenhouses and in Controlled Environmental Agriculture (CEA).

The LEDs are dimmable and controllable, enabling precise adjustment of light intensity and spectrum. The “Horticalculator” on the REDEXPERTonline simulation platform can be used to create and optimize customized lighting recipes. Spectral mixes can be precisely matched to different plant species, growth stages, and plant quality parameters.

Scientifically sound

The new series is aimed specifically at developers and manufacturers of lighting systems for greenhouses, vertical farming, controlled-environment agriculture (CEA), container farming, specialty crops, research applications, as well as algae and aquarium lighting. Their high efficiency, increased output, and compact 3535 package make these LEDs ideal for modular, large-scale, and energy-optimized lighting concepts. Würth Elektronik works closely with research institutions, ensuring scientific insights have been incorporated into this new generation of horticulture LEDs.

All Würth Elektronik horticulture LEDs are available from stock without a minimum order quantity. Free samples can be requested for development projects.

“Controlled Environmental Agriculture supports and complements conventional agriculture and horticulture wherever it reaches its limits, such as in the year-round regional supply of fresh produce. Our horticulture LEDs enable this. In view of the growing global population, location-independent food production is set to play a key role in the future,” says Alexander Gerfer, CTO of the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group.
