The latest extension to the VYPR series offers a new level of flexibility and control for producers through dual channel far red capability. Adding an independent control channel for far red light empowers growers to manipulate crop morphology and increase energy savings, opening up new applications for flower, strawberry and cucumber growers. The latest VYPR product is now available as an 800W platform, making it a standalone replacement for 1000W HPS luminaires, offering higher light intensity and lower power consumption.
“The newest generation of Fluence's VYPR product line was developed to give growers exactly what they've been asking for: greater versatility, improved light distribution and increased production to increase yield, uniformity and crop quality,” said Graves. “Advances in our understanding of light spectra have led to a more sophisticated product and a new tool for optimizing crop performance and profitability.”
The latest VYPR product is designed to improve uniformity with wider light distribution, featuring 150 degree optics in the R8, R8F, R9 and R9F light spectrum. It retains a slim form factor and unobtrusive design, but now offers more flexible installation options that make assembly faster and help reduce installation costs.
Attendees can visit Fluence's horticultural experts from June 13-15 at Stand 130 in Exhibit Hall 5 of the RAI Amsterdam Convention Center.
