How do LEDs save greenhouse energy costs?  It’s no wonder that with rising energy prices many growers are making the switch to using LEDs over HPS (High Pressure Sodium Lamps). LEDs are the more energy-efficient option, and the benefits don’t stop there (Valoya LEDs also provide tailored spectra to boost plant quality and productivity, as well as being energy-efficient). In fact, a recent study out of Wageningen University showed that LEDs use a massive 44% less energy compared to HPS1. That’s nearly twice as efficient!  However, because HPS lamps are inefficient, they produce heat ..read more
