The Philips GreenPower Toplighting Force 2.0 (TLF 2.0) is a cutting-edge LED grow light designed to deliver the highest optimized light levels with the fewest fixtures possible, making it a smart investment for growers seeking dynamic light control and maximum crop performance. In addition to the existing 1040W option, the TLF 2.0 introduces new power ranges of 1170W and 1400W, providing greater flexibility in light-plan design, particularly beneficial for new installations. When combined with the Philips GrowWise Control System, growers gain the ability to create dynamic light recipes within a 24-hour grow cycle, pushing crop optimization to the next level.
With a maximum light output of up to 5150 μmol/s and an impressive efficacy of 4.3 μmol/J at 50% power (and up to 3.9 μmol/J at full power), the TLF 2.0 is ideal for high-light-demand crops. The product is engineered for seamless integration with the GrowWise Control System, offering both wireless and wired control options that require no additional cables, simplifying both installation and maintenance. This flexibility enables precise compartmental control within greenhouses, allowing lighting to be tailored according to crop growth phases and enabling easy reconfiguration after installation, which is especially advantageous during renovations.
The TLF 2.0 features the newly developed Quadro Beam lens, available in Standard and Quadro Beam versions. This advanced lens design significantly improves light uniformity in all directions, even at high light outputs, allowing fewer fixtures to cover the same growing surface. Its rectangular beam shape provides highly uniform light distribution, even at shorter distances between the LED module and the crop canopy, which helps reduce installation costs. Furthermore, the new flat glass cover simplifies cleaning and lowers maintenance requirements.
One of the key strengths of the TLF 2.0 is its dynamic multi-channel color control capability. Working in conjunction with the GrowWise system, growers can fine-tune the light spectrum to precisely steer crop development and morphology, optimizing both light output and energy use. The system seamlessly integrates with existing climate computers, enabling lighting recipes to be adjusted based on external factors such as sunlight availability and fluctuating energy prices. This adaptability supports energy-efficient crop growth that responds to the specific needs and development stages of various crops.
Growers benefit from the ability to independently control far-red light for specialized end-of-day treatments or switch to the most energy-efficient spectrum when certain wavelengths are unnecessary. This feature is particularly useful for crops with variable light demands, such as cucumbers, chrysanthemums, and strawberries, as well as for young plant production during darker seasons. The TLF 2.0 range includes dedicated channels for far-red light, which is crucial for end-of-day treatments. For example, it helps manage stem stretching in chrysanthemums and lisianthus during low-light periods. When far-red light is not required, growers can maximize the module’s output by focusing on more energy-efficient wavelengths.
Additionally, the Toplighting Force 2.0 portfolio offers specific two-channel products that allow independent control of white or blue light. This feature lets growers optimize energy consumption by growing with 100% deep red—the most efficient wavelength—and customize blue or white light either for crop steering purposes or for visual crop inspection. The advanced light steering capabilities of the TLF 2.0 enable growers to improve crop quality and reduce energy consumption effectively, with light setpoints programmable across a 24-hour cycle.
Overall, the Philips GreenPower TLF 2.0 combines high light output, superior light uniformity through the Quadro Beam lens, and dynamic multi-channel spectral control with flexible wired and wireless operation. This makes it an excellent solution for growers seeking precision lighting that enhances yield, quality, and energy efficiency, all while simplifying installation and maintenance.
