Tune the microclimate

The BU10 is the most compact grow lighting unit within the product range, covering 10 m2 of playing surface. The HPS grow lighting unit is perfectly suited to treat small areas of the playing field, such as the corner areas, for quick grass recovery. The two lighting fixtures provide a high light level and radiate both light and heat to create the optimal growth conditions to promote grass growth when natural sunlight and heat are not sufficient. Because of its size and foldable legs, the BU10 is easy to deploy and store.

Used by professional sports clubs worldwide

As the world’s first grow lighting system for sports playing surfaces, HPS technology has proven its quality. Because light and heat are simultaneously radiated by the fixture, the BU10 is best suited for those specific situations where the grass requires both extra light and warmth; when it’s cold and dark. With the BU10, the grounds team has extra assistance in carrying out restoration work on the grass. Stadiums worldwide, across various sports, benefit from proven HPS technology, using the BU10 to maintain a high-quality grass playing surface week in and week out.
