Montreal-based Sollum Technologies announces that its smart LED lighting system  has been awarded the prestigious 2021 Sapphire Award in the horticultural lighting category by LEDs Magazine. The Sapphire Awards winners were revealed at the end of day one of the Strategies in Light conference, held on August 24-25, 2021.

"Receiving the Sapphire Award for horticultural lighting is a strong signal of the relevance of Sollum's technology and a tremendous honour for us," says Sollum Technologies president and CEO Louis Brun. 

According to a company spokesperson, the lighting system  dynamically recreates any spectra such as the full spectrum of the sun’s natural light, from sunup to sundown, anywhere in the world, on any given date, from Italy to Japan and Australia. And as growers observe their crops, they can modify the spectra and intensity of their light recipes in real time from their PC or with Sollum’s help.

Growers can elect to modify their recipe or temporarily adapt luminosity in real time to improve quality and productivity on the basis of growth-related observations. Not only does the technology allow growers to adjust light intensity, it also enables them to add, remove, modulate, and manage the ratios of colour wavelengths such as far red, blue, or green. That gives the grower the ability to define what is best for each crop.

Producers benefit from every software update, including the freshly created recipes developed by independent research centers. With the help of the Sollum team of technicians and programmers, growers can also create their own playbook over time. No need to change the fixtures or the software.
