HPS grow lighting

Despite having less control over light and heat radiation, in specific climatic conditions, HPS grass grow lighting technology is an efficient and effective way to restore the grass playing surface to perfect condition after a match, training, or event. Our HPS grow lighting systems combine PAR light and infrared radiation in one fixture, making this light source the best solution for situations where temperatures are low throughout the year.

The SGL LED440 is set via the advanced SmartBox.

State-of-the-art technology

HPS grass grow lighting technology is a proven method to restore the grass playing surface from wear and tear. Our products are manufactured in-house, allowing us to tailor them perfectly to meet the needs of the market. Our agronomy team and developers work closely together to keep improving and innovating our technology and products, resulting in future-proof service.

Data-driven decision making

With the help of data, it is possible to achieve the highest grass quality at the lowest possible energy consumption and cost. Years of research have gone into optimising our growth algorithm and data modules on our TurfBase, to make this possible. We calculate the light and temperature requirements for the desired grass quality. Our algorithm determines where and how long you should deploy the grow lighting units for the optimal growth conditions. Based on 24/7 data from our monitoring tools, our lighting advice on TurfBase is continuously updated. In addition, you can control your lighting systems remotely via TurfBase. You will have the capability to monitor energy consumption, compare it with previous years, and correlate it with the quality and quantity of pitch usage. This functionality allows you to generate precise efficiency reports.
