Across horticulture, the shift from HPS to LED lighting is no longer a question of if – but when. Rising energy costs and consumer demand for year-round local produce mean growers need systems that deliver higher output, lower consumption, and a faster return on investment.
The Real Cost of HPS vs LED
Growers still running HPS face far higher production costs than those who have already switched. LEDs provide two clear paths forward:
- Lower operating costs at the same light levels.
- Or higher light levels for the same cost, driving increased production.
This is why LED adoption is accelerating across Europe and beyond.
Why NLight Is Different
Not all LEDs are equal. NLight solutions are designed with precision optics of up to 172°, giving growers superior light distribution and uniformity compared to traditional systems.
That technical edge means:
- Fewer fixtures needed to cover the same space.
- Faster installation with reduced cabling.
- Lower project costs and quicker ROI.
Our latest release, the RV1600, demonstrates this difference in action. With its 172° beam angle, one RV1600 can replace up to three HPS 600w fixtures. It’s a powerful example of how advanced optics translate directly into savings and simplicity for growers.
Built Around the Grower
Every greenhouse is different – old or new, tall or low-roofed. NLight fixtures are engineered to fit that reality. And beyond the technology, what sets NLight apart is the way we work:
- A committed, connected team that communicates directly.
- The ability to deliver technical updates in weeks, not years.
- A culture of passion that flows straight into the reliability of our products.
When challenges arise, the whole team is engaged to solve them quickly and properly – because every harvest depends on it.
Looking Ahead
As horticulture continues to evolve, NLight is moving from a technology supplier to a recognisable brand shaping the global lighting market. With innovation like the RV1600 leading the way, we are confident that the future of greenhouse lighting will be defined by systems that are not only more efficient — but smarter, simpler, and designed around the grower.
