News and information on vertical farming, greenhouse and urban agriculture

CLEVELAND, OH – 28 February, 2022 – GE Current, a Daintree company has today unveiled two new, high-efficiency, high-performance members of its Arize Element family. The latest L1000 model offers an increased maximum output of up to 2600µmol/s adding a new option to the existing L1000 portfolio, which already features efficacy-oriented models offering up to 3.6µmol/J. With the all-new, 3600µmol/s Arize Element L2000, Current is offering growers more choice than ever before when designing the optimal lighting plan for their greenhouse operations.

Following the same design as the Arize Element L1000 Next-Gen, with an ultra-slim form factor, a choice of eight tailored light spectra and Current’s proprietary XW Optic to ensure uniform light dispersion across a wider area, the new L1000 model is designed as a 1:1 replacement for HPS fixtures, boosting productivity and reducing energy costs. The L2000 consumes 1000W, and its next-gen XW optic spreads light even wider than the L1000, further reducing fixture count and increasing yields in HPS retrofit applications.

Bruno D’Amico, Global Product Manager for Horticulture Lighting at Current explains the rationale for the expanded Arize Element range, “Every greenhouse operation is different, with different production considerations and priorities. When our product experts, plant scientists and lighting designers tackle a new project, they account for every potential variable to develop the lighting plan that will deliver the best possible results for the customer. Challenges could range from cost control or boosting productivity to a completely different goal. With these new high-performance models, our aim is to give customers greater control over the balance they strike between the variables that are most important to them.”
