OSRAM is a global leader in professional LED horticulture lighting and sensing. Optimized LEDs and spectral sensors from our extensive product portfolio enable superior plant growth for every optimized growing recipe. Highest efficiency luminaires minimize energy consumption, which is key at a time of exploding energy costs and energy-saving constraints. Best in class uniformity of illumination of our LEDs allows for placement of luminaires closer to the crops and saving energy compared to traditional luminaires with secondary optics. Lowest possible overall system cost is enabled by the use of highest power LEDs reducing the number of LEDs required per square meter, supported by unmatched illumination uniformity for luminaires without need for secondary optics, and long-life performance. The overdrive capability up to twice the nominal power class and low thermal resistance of our LEDs provide maximum design flexibility at optimum efficacy.
'OSRAM Horticulture Lighting Takes on the Challenges of the 21st Century
With the new generation of OSLON® Square Hyper Red LEDs, ams OSRAM offers the best luminous efficacy for horticulture. This high-power LED delivers 76% WPE, one of the best efficiencies in the industry. TCO calculations based on the highest efficiency and sustainable long-term light output are based on ams OSRAM's extensive experience in supporting the growing demand for food for many years. Regardless of weather conditions, plants, like people, need light. The right lighting strategy is crucial. The next generation of OSLON® Square Hyper Red delivers a radiant flux of 1064mW at 76% WPE and a photon flux of 5.82 µmol/s at 700mA with an efficiency of 4.16 µmol/J. These performance levels enable luminaire designs that were not possible before. For applications with higher efficiency requirements, the LED offers 82% efficiency at 350mA and 84% efficiency at 250mA.
It is possible to reduce luminaire size, reduce ghosting, and consequently reduce luminaire bill of materials costs. "Horticultural lighting is an absolute growth market that helps our customers save energy and reduce overall system costs," said Yong Shen Chew, Product Manager at ams OSRAM. "Significantly higher efficacy levels help our customers save energy and reduce overall system costs." OSLON® Square Hyper Red Gen 5 offers an easy upgrade for horticultural lighting applications based on the previous OSLON® Square Hyper Red. Mechanical and optical properties are identical. ams OSRAM is the preferred customer partner for horticultural lighting with spectral sensing technologies and wavelength-optimized LEDs across the color spectrum for growth simulation and precise condition monitoring. Our wide range of lighting for indoor and vertical farming covers the important growth-optimizing wavelengths and radiation angles needed to provide the perfect lighting for all types of plants and flowers. High-power LED devices enable small form factors for fixtures and provide less ghosting. Our spectral sensing technology enables real-time monitoring of total plant illumination to manage adaptive lighting prescriptions for plants, taking into account the effects of sunlight on foliage. From the visible to the near-infrared (NIR), chip-scale spectral sensing technology opens up new areas of condition and growth monitoring.
Leadership and expertise in professional LED horticulture applications and technologies. ams OSRAM offers a broad portfolio of horticulture LEDs for professional top lighting, indoor lighting, and vertical farming applications. Our high and medium power LED families cover all important growth-optimizing wavelengths and radiation angles, including 660 nm (hyper red) and 730 nm (far red). This allows lights to be placed closer together and saves energy compared to conventional lights.
''OSRAM Horticulture color lighting – best performance, best results
Horticultural lighting offers an innovative way of producing food in a controlled environment, often close to large markets in urban centers. Precise LED lighting and advanced sensing solutions provide new possibilities for growing food in a smart, easy and sustainable way within contained environments. They offer the possibility to adapt to the needs of different plants, monitoring their growth, optimizing harvests, minimizing fertilizer use and reducing energy costs. Sensor controlled spectrally adaptive lighting could fully substitute, complement or even optimize the required photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) for best possible farming results.
Smart LED-based horticulture solutions is a proof point for how our lives can be improved by technology.
