The declamatory the supply , the more difficult the pick . The latter certainly applies to the ignition marketplace in glasshouse gardening , where with the rise of light-emitting diode lighting , the number of suppliers is increase very rapidly and one luminaire or installation hope to be even better and more sustainable than the other . As a grower , it is hard to make a choice , proceed in mind that roughly one-half of the investing in the greenhouse will be required for lighting .
Ultimately , that selection is always made , quickly and severally or , as it often goes , after good consultation with the supplier . But , is the latter really independent and does it always result in the best potential kindling installation for the agriculturist in his specific situation ? The reply is no , Arno Wartewig and René van der Sar from Orance are convinced of this . With the consultancy and engine room agency Orance , based in The Netherlands , they offer this self-governing support in the ever - expanding lighting hobo camp , whereby , together with the grower , the most optimum initiation with the most desirable luminaires is determined .
“ Last yr after GreenTech we startle observe lead of the amount of companies and in the RAI in Amsterdam alone we found some seventy horticultural lighting providers , ” says Arno . " That mammoth number of caller with greenhouse horticultural pretensions denotes exactly what challenge the grower face today , namely a gigantic , confusing range of luminaires , each with its own specific electrical installation . "
Arno and René at the authority in Monster
Multi - million investmentUntil a few years ago , that choice was quite clean , the standard was 1000 Watt HPS . The market level and the major difference , regardless of the price , was mainly the type of reflecting telescope , explains René , the technician of the two . “ With the advent of LED , the supply has grow enormously and it is simply impossible for agriculturalist to make a well - institute , independent choice . And that choice is what every raiser should really require , debate the millions of euro involved in the current lead firing marketplace . ”
Transaction orient marketIn the meantime , the choices for investments in lighting are still not made , as is wonted in many other sector , with an sovereign technical advisor . “ So there are unfortunately numberless examples of luminaires that are upright in itself , but that do not fit the needs of the cultivator , the greenhouse , the electrical installing or the relevant desired climate , ” Arno stay on . “ A well - elaborated programme and cooperation with the project - involved married person ( grower , main consultant and suppliers ) ensures the ripe choices . ”
firing market remains unclearRené and Arno do not look a alteration in the unstable lighting market in the come yr . " No , it will only get more unsteady and perplexing , because the world food job is grist to the mill for new providers who all affect to be able-bodied to solve part of that job with their luminaire , " according to Arno . “ Many new instrumentalist from the non - residential sphere want to jump into the greenhouse horticulture securities industry , but light a hotel or storage warehouse is really something unlike than a nursery , ” René adds . “ Sector experience is an essential factor in making the right-hand choice for the long term . ”
Success storiesFor the grower , with a stack of offers in front of him , that choice is almost unimaginable to make . The dissimilar providers have technological differences , which makes it very thought-provoking to make a right assessment . If the ‘ good story ’ , the two hundred thousand euro humbled total terms or an on the face of it good " warranty marriage offer " is critical , it might total to regret afterwards .
“ cultivator often already have a good idea of what they want , but as a grow light architect , as you could see us , we begin by translating these ideas into a technically flesh out ( engineering ) plan and accompanying clear specifications . These specifications put up an overview , enabling the grower to make well - founded and autonomous choices . Our hope is the best customer - specific grow light installation at the best price ! in conclusion everyone profit from this , both grower and supplier . After all , everyone desire success stories . ”
