Den Berk Délice improved production predictability and energy efficiency with Philips horticulture intelligent lighting
The upgrade significantly improves the growth of their premium tomatoes, resulting in stronger plants, better product quality, and a faster cultivation process.
Eindhoven, Netherlands - Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, has helped Den Berk Délice, a specialist in growing flavorful tomatoes, achieve more stable and continuous light conditions, benefiting both production and energy efficiency. This was accomplished by upgrading their lighting with Philips GreenPower LED toplighting force 2.0 (TLF 2.0). The upgrade significantly improves the growth of their premium tomatoes, resulting in stronger plants, better product quality, and a faster cultivation process.
Den Berk Délice can now adjust light levels as needed using TLF 2.0, combined with the Philips GrowWise control system. This system automatically controls LED lighting based on natural light levels, energy markets, and optimized cultivation recipes. The ability to fine-tune the light recipe ensures maximum efficiency and sustainability while also allowing Den Berk Délice to respond quickly to energy market opportunities.
For Den Berk Délice, the transition to the new LED modules has been smooth and efficient. Installation was quick and straightforward, thanks to the plug-and-play design of the new lighting system. The improved TLF 2.0 technology offers greater adaptability than the previous lighting solutions, allowing for more precise control over light levels and growing conditions.

XLamp® XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs Set a New Standard in Horticulture Lighting
Designed to deliver exceptional efficiency, unmatched durability and seamless system upgrades, XLamp XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs are optimized for high-performance applications in greenhouses, vertical farms and other large-scale growing operations. These LEDs achieve an impressive typical Wall-Plug Efficiency (WPE) of 83.5% at 700 mA and 25°C. This efficiency allows horticulture luminaires to deliver the same output with less power consumption, translating into lower operating costs and optimized designs that use up to 35% fewer Photo Red LEDs. Cree LED's XP-L Photo Red LEDs, built with advanced S Line technology, set a new standard in sulfur and corrosion resistance, offering an extended lifespan and reliable performance. These features significantly reduce maintenance costs while providing consistent, high-quality lighting throughout critical growth cycles. Additionally, a consistent platform offers easy integration with a drop-in replacement for existing XP-based luminaires eliminating the need for reengineering due to footprint changes. With the same 3.45 x 3.45 mm XP footprint as the XP-G3 Photo Red S Line LEDs, the XP-L Photo Red ensures a hassle-free upgrade for existing designs.
