Cutting-edge LED Dimming Systems to Maximize Greenhouse Profits with Dr Marc van Iersel of Candidus

Dr. Marc van Iersel explains the cutting-edge technology behind the Candidus adaptive LED dimming systems that help growers around the world often save more than 30% on supplemental lighting electricity costs to increase profits. Candidus systems utilize a variety of inputs such as individual crop DLI/photoperiod requirements, weather forecasting, current greenhouse environmental conditions, and real-time peak and off-peak electricity rates to precisely dim and brighten LED grow-lighting fixtures in controlled environment agriculture applications like greenhouses and vertical farms. Behind labor, supplemental lighting is the second biggest expense in most commercial greenhouse operations. Using a precision flex-dimming system instead of old-fashioned light timers can prevent the over-lighting of crops when ample sunlight is available without endangering crop yield when sunlight levels are low. In addition to other hardware and sensors, Candidus systems rely on Apogee Instruments PAR sensors for accurate, real-time PPFD measurements. Dr Marc van Iersel is a world-renowned professor of Horticultural Physiology at the University of Georgia and co-founder of Candidus.
