The Pleiades by Fohse is a 320W greenhouse LED grow light purpose-built to function as the ideal supplemental lighting solution. Its ultra-slim profile allows for seamless installation along existing greenhouse truss infrastructure without casting additional shadows, ensuring that the natural sunlight remains unobstructed. Designed specifically for integration rather than intrusion, the Pleiades is engineered to boost your greenhouse lighting with minimal disruption and maximum efficiency.
At the core of the Pleiades system is the concept that strength lies in numbers. Each fixture within a complete Pleiades layout works collectively to achieve exceptional light uniformity, maintaining PPFD variance to less than 10%. This level of consistency is critical in commercial horticulture, where stable light distribution leads to uniform plant development and repeatable, high-quality harvests. The Pleiades delivers exactly that—reliable performance across your entire grow area.
The system also features Fohse’s advanced Light Harvesting technology, which enables real-time responsiveness to changing environmental conditions. Integrated sensors actively monitor the levels of natural light in your greenhouse, adjusting each fixture's output in precise 1% increments to account for variables like cloud cover or seasonal fluctuations. This smart, automated control not only ensures consistent light exposure for your crops but also helps optimize energy usage by preventing unnecessary output.
In addition to high performance, the Pleiades is built with long-term durability in mind. Unlike legacy HID systems that degrade quickly and require frequent replacement, the LED-based Pleiades system offers a significantly extended lifespan. Combined with Light Harvesting capabilities that ensure the fixtures only operate when needed, the system's longevity is extended even further—making it a generational investment for your greenhouse.
Managing heat output is another area where the Pleiades excels. After hundreds of hours of thermal analysis and numerous design iterations, Fohse engineers arrived at the optimal configuration for maximum thermal efficiency. This design minimizes heat buildup, reduces energy consumption, and enables efficient photon emission without compromising fixture performance, allowing growers to maintain ideal environmental conditions for plant health.
Humidity and moisture are ever-present challenges in controlled environments, particularly greenhouses. Recognizing this, the Pleiades was built to withstand harsh humidity fluctuations and direct condensation exposure. Its IP55 rating guarantees protection against dust and water projected from any direction, so growers can even hose down fixtures during cleanup without the need for removal. This level of resilience ensures the Pleiades continues to perform reliably, no matter the conditions.
Installation is quick and uncomplicated. With easy-to-mount truss brackets and the ability to daisy-chain power across multiple units, integrating the Pleiades into an existing greenhouse requires no major electrical overhaul. In most cases, growers can get their new system up and running in no time—transforming their greenhouse into a state-of-the-art LED operation with minimal downtime.
While many lighting manufacturers make bold claims about performance, Fohse takes a different approach. With the Pleiades, there’s no need for hype. The proof lies in the results—and in the voices of countless growers already benefiting from this advanced, reliable, and intelligently engineered greenhouse lighting solution.
