S Components (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents
plc the global distributor for engineers, has introduced new LED-
lighting components and kits that enable designers to create
advanced products for boosting horticultural business performance.
The Petunia series by Intelligent LED Solutions (ILS) features LED
modules that generate various combinations of warm white, hyper red
and deep blue wavelengths to create optimal lighting for rapid growth
of seedlings or vegetation, or for energy-saving retail displays. The range
includes all parts needed to build the complete lighting solution, including
optimised lenses, constant-current LED drivers, heatsinks and thermal
materials.
Starter kits available in five configurations help accelerate product
development by bringing together the 12-LED module and lens, driver,
heatsink, adapter, screws, spacer and top cap as a
ready-to-use package. The ILK- Petunia -01 and
ILK- Petunia -01S starter kits for general illumination
contain six warm white (3000K), five red and one blue
LED. Also for general illumination,the ILK-PETUNIA-02
starter kit features a high-efficacy module containing
nine hyper-red and three deep blue LEDs.
To create lighting that accelerates the growth of leafy vegetation
for increased yield, designers can choose the ILK-Petunia-03 kit
containing an LED module with six blue and six red LEDs. The last kit,
ILK-PETUNIA-04, features a board with nine blue and three red LEDs
for promoting rapid growth of seedlings, recognises that younger plants
respond well to predominantly blue wavelengths.
As an OSRAM certified partner, ILS uses the latest OSRAMOslon SSL
ThinGaN emitters in its LED modules. The emitters remain extremely
efficient up to high drive currents and have low thermal resistance that
promotes cool operation and high reliability.
The modules are optimised for use with LEDiL Petunia lenses, which
were conceived for horticultural applications and feature a compact
design making them ideal for use in greenhouses and retail fixtures.
The lenses feature moulded pins that allow accurate and economical
attachment to the module baseboard, and are manufactured in long-
lasting optical-grade polycarbonate to ensure a durable, high-quality end
product.
