75% more light with LED

More than six months later, Oreon can report that the Monarch is now the LED fixture with the highest possible light output thanks to improved LED chips. The Monarch achieves a light level of 3400 ?Mol/s, depending on the chosen spectrum, with ease. With a consumption of 1010W, this is equal to an efficiency of 3.4 ?Mol/J. Growers can now achieve even higher lighting levels with the same energy consumption; > 75% compared to an HPS lamp. Or average energy savings of more than 45% at the same lighting level.

It is increasingly common that growers are at their maximum power capacity, while they would like more light on their crop, without damaging it because it gets too hot in the greenhouse. The Dutch Powerhouse "Monarch" offers the solution; more light, less heat, better quality and lower costs at the same energy consumption.

What makes it possible for Oreon to produce so much efficient light with a very small LED fixture? Water-cooling!

Where other LED suppliers opt for passive cooling, Oreon uses an active cooling technology. The water flows through the fixture and immediately removes the released heat. This improves the lifespan of the individual LEDs, but also of the entire fixture. In addition, the temperature in the greenhouse remains stable, CO2 values ??are retained and the plants can be lit longer. The water cooling technology is a sustainable solution, which gives growers the opportunity to re-use this released energy. It is used, for example, to heat up other premises or the irrigation water of the plants.
