At the LIGHTFAIR International 2018 trade fair in Chicago, IL, USA (8-10 May), Taiwan-based Everlight Electronics Co Ltd demonstrated its comprehensive range of horticulture LEDs and diverse lighting application products as well as relevant lamps such as horticulture luminaires and fishing lamps.

LEDs have been extensively applied for horticultural lighting in recent years. Monochromatic LEDs have not only replaced traditional high-pressure sodium lamps but, due to their color combination, also effectively meet the requirements of specific spectra and optical functions. Everlight has developed various series of products to completely cover PAR 450-745nm for horticulture.

According to the required performance, Everlight offers its SHWO 3535-ELB (high), 3030-ELB and 2835-ELB (low) LEDs. The new 2835 PC Red-ELB (2.8x3.5x0.7mm) has an exceptional color temperature of 5% blue intensity which can achieve a wall-plug efficiency (WPE) of 35% (0.5W) and replace two light sources, Royal Blue & Deep Red, at once with its luminous efficacy of 15 lm. The 3535-ELB (3.5mm x 3.5mm x 2.03mm) series is said to have an edge in high luminous efficacy, cost-performance ratio and 65% WPE. Products with different colors are all LM-80 standard certified to satisfy demand for LED service lifetime. Everlight also demonstrated a horticulture luminaire and a fishing lamp based on the 3535-ELB. The firm says that its complete, diversified agricultural LEDs can meet the needs of various growing environments to improve animal and plant growth as well as achieve energy conservation.

A 560mm x 20mm x 1.0mm horticultural bar demonstrated at LIGHTFAIR complies with Zhaga standards. The 12W LEDs emit at wavelengths of 660nm and 450nm and can reach 3129mW or 16.377μmol by using medium-power LEDs for indoor farming. The Zhaga Consortium is a standard in the LED industry that is suitable for luminaire manufacturers to rapidly adopt their LED lighting technology through the use of interchangeable parts for their products. Developed in accordance with with Zhaga standards, Everlight’s 2ft bar is a high-quality light source for horticultural luminaire that helps to reduce development cycle time in that market.
