Professional Greenhouse PL Lighting Designed Around Your Crops

PL Lights, a division of Hortilux-Schroeder, uses components from Philips International Corporation to provide commercial greenhouse lighting systems designed for professional growers.

With decades of experience in horticultural lighting, PL Lights and USGR understand that successful greenhouse lighting requires more than simply installing light fixtures. Each crop has different lighting requirements, and every greenhouse presents unique challenges.

We provide both High Pressure Sodium (HPS) and Metal Halide (MH) greenhouse grow PL lighting systems, along with professional lighting layouts designed around your greenhouse dimensions, crop requirements, and production goals.

High Pressure Sodium PL lighting is the more popular choice for many commercial greenhouse applications. However, Metal Halide lighting is also available for growers whose crops and production requirements call for a different PL lighting solution.

Greenhouse PL Lighting – USGR Has Decades of Horticultural Lighting Experience

USGR has been providing PL Lights greenhouse growing lights longer than any other company in the industry, with extensive experience in both High-Pressure Sodium and Metal Halide lighting technology.

Working together, PL Light Systems and USGR bring extensive knowledge of the lighting requirements of a wide variety of greenhouse crops, including production growing and plant propagation.

Our experience helps growers select appropriate lighting systems based on the plants being grown, greenhouse configuration, and desired growing conditions.

Whether you are lighting flowering crops, vegetable transplants, propagation systems, or commercial greenhouse production areas, proper lighting design is essential.

High Pressure Sodium (HPS) Greenhouse Grow Lights

High Pressure Sodium greenhouse PL lighting is one of the most widely used supplemental lighting technologies in commercial horticulture.

HPS fixtures provide a strong supplemental light source for greenhouse production and are a popular choice among professional greenhouse growers.

Benefits of HPS greenhouse lighting include:

• Proven technology for commercial greenhouse production.
• Popular choice for supplemental greenhouse lighting.
• Suitable for a wide variety of greenhouse crops.
• Available in professionally designed lighting layouts.
• Compatible with appropriate greenhouse mounting and structural attachments.

Metal Halide Greenhouse Grow Lights

PL Lights also provides Metal Halide greenhouse lighting systems for growers requiring this lighting technology.

Metal Halide lighting offers a different spectral distribution from High Pressure Sodium lighting. The appropriate choice depends on the crop, growing stage, natural daylight conditions, and desired production results.

USGR can help determine whether HPS or Metal Halide lighting is appropriate for your greenhouse application.

Professional Greenhouse Lighting Layouts

Get the Right Light Distribution for Your Greenhouse

One of the most important aspects of greenhouse lighting is achieving consistent and uniform light distribution throughout the growing area.

Simply installing inexpensive fixtures does not guarantee proper light coverage. Poorly designed lighting systems can create uneven illumination, leaving some plants with too much light and others with too little.

USGR and PL Lights can develop a greenhouse lighting layout based on information you provide about your operation.

• Benefits: Benefits of supplemental lighting
• Difference: PL Lights can make a difference
• Light Care: Tips on operation
• HPS: High Pressure Sodium Lights used for supplemental lighting for excellent plant growth and development.
• HS: 600 watt/480 volt system provides more light with less energy.
• Metal Halide: Lights with larger portion of blue/violet light in their spectrum.
• Reflectors: 7 different selections. Most important part of greenhouse light.
• Remote Ballast: Ballast installed on ground or between crops; Lamps and reflectors suspended at high level.
• Reflectors for HS: Provides more light for these fixtures.

Greenhouse Lighting for Production and Propagation

Different plants have different lighting requirements. A system designed for flowering crops may not be appropriate for vegetable transplants or propagation operations.

PL Lights and USGR have extensive knowledge of crop-specific lighting requirements.

We can help evaluate lighting requirements for:

• Commercial greenhouse production.
• Plant propagation systems.
• Chrysanthemum and mum production.
• Rose production.
• Vegetable transplants.
• Ornamental plants and flowering crops.
• Nursery production.

Our goal is to match the lighting equipment and layout to the requirements of the crop rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
