Sunterra Greenhouse has an expansive facility covering 7.5 acres dedicated to strawberry production and an additional 17.5 acres for tomato cultivation. In order to maximize fruit production through the bench months, Sunterra chose to install Philips LED lighting.
Harvesting strawberries and tomatoes through winter months
Sunterra Greenhouse
Acme, Alberta,
We think of the Philips LED lighting team as our partner in this project; they have a vested interest in our success.
Customer challenge
Due to insufficient and inconsistent natural light levels during the winter months, Sunterra was challenged with achieving stable, reliable production without adding supplemental lighting. With the addition of Philips LED toplighting, Sunterra is now able to avoid production dips while maximizing efficiency.
The LED lighting solution
The strawberry solution is comprised of over 1000 Philips GreenPower LED toplighting compact and more than 800 Philips GreenPower LED flowering lamps. The tomato solution utilizes a hybrid LED/HPS approach featuring 4,000 Philips GreenPower LED toplighting compact fixtures, providing an impressive 220 µmol/m2/s light level. Through the successful partnership with Philips Horticulture, Sunterra Greenhouse is now able to maximize their production with Philips LED lighting, providing the perfect spectrum and intensity for optimal strawberry and tomato production, ensuring abundant yields year-round.
