Signify has partnered with Genson Group to implement a state-of-the-art full LED lighting system designed to enhance year-round strawberry cultivation sustainably. This system features tailored light recipes, including far-red light to promote optimal plant growth during winter and a specific blend of white light for improved visibility, aiding workers in assessing fruit ripeness. The GreenPower LED toplighting force 2.0, managed by the Philips GrowWise control system and Ridder climate control, dynamically adjusts light intensity in response to external sunlight conditions.

Genson’s crop specialist, Neeltje van Vaalen, expressed satisfaction with the system’s energy efficiency and its contributions to sustainable farming practices.
