Accessible and lightweight LED grow lighting system

LED60

  • Superior performance in all climates
  • Energy and cost efficient
  • State-of-the-art technology

The LED60 is an accessible and lightweight grow lighting system, ideal for stimulating grass growth in high-wear areas of the pitch. Covering a 60 m² surface, it’s compact, easy to operate, and designed for quick deployment.

Its slim design and smart leg construction ensure minimal shadowing and superior uniformity in all climates. Featured with the most effective and energy-efficient light spectrum for grass growth, the LED60 offers independent control over light and heat – giving grounds teams full flexibility and maximum efficiency in every application.

High-quality grass growth

Balance is key when it comes to high-quality grass growth. Light and heat must be present in the right quantity to stimulate photosynthesis, a plant process crucial for high-quality growth. The LED60 allows the grounds manager to control light and heat radiation independently. This feature ensures that the operator can precisely adjust light and heat, and thus the growth climate, according to the grass’s needs, creating the optimal microclimate. This results in high-quality grass growth and a quick recovery of the playing surface after a training session or match.

The LED60 covers a 60 square meter of playing surface. This enables the grounds team to treat a large area at once, shorten turnaround time, and maintain a consistent and safe playing surface all throughout the season.

Maximum energy savings

The independent control of light and heat allows the grounds manager to create the optimal microclimate for high-quality grass growth in the most effective and efficient way possible. Because infrared only needs to be added when the temperature in the stadium is too low, the grounds manager can deploy the LED60 solely with light radiation during warm periods, and save energy. When the temperature allows for it and the LED60 is only used for lighting and not with infrared, 40% energy saving can be achieved.

Additionally, the LED60 utilises the most effective and energy-efficient light spectrum available, consisting of 95% red and 5% blue. The colours in this light spectrum are tuned to stimulate high-quality root and shoot growth as effectively and energy-efficient as possible.

Future-proof technology

The LED60 utilises the latest grow lighting technology available and is constructed and produced in-house from high-quality materials. The LED armatures, IR fixtures and smart control system are designed from scratch and based on more than a decade of research to ensure unrivalled light and heat uniformity and superior performance in every climate, making the LED60 a futureproof grow lighting solution. The smart control system ensures that the unit is deployed as efficiently and effectively as possible, empowering data-driven pitch management measures and careful use of valuable time and resources.

The data-driven use of the LED60 grow lighting unit not only results in high-quality grass growth in the most energy-efficient way possible but also contributes to reducing the ecological footprint and the transition towards a more sustainable industry.

SGL TurfBase Lighting Moduel

Data driven pitch management

SGL TurfBase is the user-friendly platform for grounds managers to log, monitor and analyse data, to make and justify decisions regarding pitch quality and efficient use of resources. In addition, it optimises operation and efficiency of all SGL products, adding value to the hardware.

Data from TurfBase will help you use your LED60 to its full capacity. Important modules to support the LED60 are:

  • Lighting: offers a comprehensive solution for monitoring, managing, and optimising the grow lighting systems on your playing surface.
  • Energy Monitor: provides you with detailed insights into the energy consumption and associated costs of your lighting system (LED, IR).

We recommend using our Standard Plan to have the above modules available in your TurfBase. If you want to add more modules, you have the option to add specific modules with our Flex option. Let the data help you take your pitch management to the next level!
