The Philips GreenPower LED flowering lamp offers a reliable, energy-efficient solution for photoperiodic lighting in greenhouses, designed to optimize flowering processes while significantly reducing energy consumption. This advanced LED lamp uses proven technology to deliver energy savings of up to 90% compared to incandescent lamps, and also offers substantial efficiency gains over halogen and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). Based on input from growers around the world, the GreenPower LED flowering lamp enhances crop performance while lowering operational costs, making it an ideal choice for commercial greenhouse applications.
Specifically engineered for photoperiodic lighting, this flowering lamp is suited for a wide range of crops, including cut flowers, bedding plants, annuals and perennials, mother stock, and strawberries. The lamp is available in two spectral variants to accommodate different crop needs: a deep red and white (DR/W) version, and a deep red, white, and far-red (DR/W/FR) version. Each spectral combination serves a distinct function, giving growers greater flexibility in managing plant development.
The DR/W version is particularly effective at inhibiting flowering in short-day plants, such as chrysanthemums, dahlias, and poinsettias. It is often used to delay budding in mother stock and maintain vegetative growth during short daylight periods. This helps growers extend the life of mother plants and maintain quality cuttings. The DR/W/FR version, on the other hand, is ideal for promoting flowering in long-day plants and stimulating stem elongation in crops like strawberries. By extending the photoperiod or interrupting the night cycle, growers can encourage earlier blooming and improve overall plant structure and yield potential.
With light outputs of up to 25 μmol/s and an efficiency of up to 1.9 μmol/J, the GreenPower LED flowering lamp delivers broad surface area coverage with uniform distribution. Its high performance is matched by a robust and safe design, featuring no glass components, an IP44 ingress protection rating, and compatibility with damp and wet environments. These characteristics ensure reliability even in demanding greenhouse conditions or outdoor installations when paired with the correct luminaire.
The flowering lamp is built for long-term durability and cost-effectiveness. It can handle up to 35,000 switching cycles, which supports up to 12 years of use at eight switches per day. With a high power factor (>0.9), the lamp is especially suitable for operations using power generators, and it is designed to withstand voltage fluctuations in the range of 120–240 VAC ±10%. These features contribute to a more stable and energy-efficient installation, reducing the risk of downtime or inconsistent performance.
The Philips GreenPower LED flowering lamp is a complete solution for growers aiming to manage photoperiod-sensitive crops more precisely and economically. Whether your goal is to promote flowering, prevent budding, or enhance stem elongation, this lighting system provides targeted spectral recipes that improve crop timing, quality, and yield—all while delivering significant energy savings and dependable performance in greenhouse or open-air conditions.
