Second Generation VYPR Series

Jun 13, 2019

Fluence’s second generation VYPR series is a lighting solution for commercial indoor and greenhouse cannabis cultivation facilities. With energy efficiency reaching 2.7 µmol/J and 1700 photosynthetic photon flux (PPF), VYPR is a path to sustainability and productivity. Whether extending the day or extending the season, VYPR has the power, energy efficiency and longevity to grow sunup to sundown to sunup, year-round. The slim formfactor allows for greenhouse deployment or high bay indoor installations.

The second generation VYPR series builds on the previous generation’s VYPRx PLUS performance with nearly a 45-percent increase in PPF levels and an 18-percent increase in efficacy. The new features of the VYPR 2 Series include a width of 2.9 inches for shade-free deployment, as well as a new power supply enclosure equipped with PushLock connectors for quick and easy installation. All VYPR models are dimmable for precise control over PPFD and offer flexibility to instantly accommodate a new crop with varying light requirements.

6 Key Crop Lighting Design Considerations You Don't Want to Overlook

From light uniformity to accurate grow-space modeling to spectral analysis, here are crucial factors to ensure your lighting design sets you up for commercial cultivation success.

For an apples-to-apples comparison, lighting plans must accurately represent your cultivation space. Walls and other surfaces still absorb photons in the PAR (Photosynthetic Active Radiation) range.

How Green Rose Co.’s LED Retrofit Boosted Yield and Quality While Cutting Costs

The California cannabis company shares details of its HPS to LED transition process, and the operational efficiencies and crop improvements gained along the way—from reduced HVAC needs and expenses to a more than 20% increase in flower weight.

Even though a retrofit is as easy as replacing lights one for one, each facility and each set of genetics can respond differently, Fluence Horticulture Service Specialist Taylor Kirk says. He stresses that it’s important to understand what a grower’s goals are for their crops and to try to help them achieve that as quickly as possible.
