Cree LED, a Penguin Solutions brand, has introduced the new XLamp XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs, a groundbreaking advancement in horticulture lighting technology. Designed to deliver exceptional efficiency, exceptional durability and seamless system upgrades, these LEDs are optimized for high-performance applications in greenhouses, vertical farms, and other large-scale growing operations.
The XP-L Photo Red S Line LEDs represent a 6% improvement in typical Wall-Plug Efficiency (WPE) over the previous generation, reaching 83.5% at 700 mA and 25°C. This improvement offers compelling cost benefits for horticulture customers. They can reduce operating costs by upgrading to the same output with less power consumption or lower initial costs with a redesign that reduces the necessary number of Photo Red LEDs by up to 35%.
