Whilst LEDs are very efficient there is still an amount of electrical power that is converted into heat. To harness the best possible performance from an LED this heat needs to be effectively moved away from the LED chip at the heart of the device and dissipated into the ambient environment.

A one size fits all approach is rarely the best solution, and when it comes to lighting for horticulture and agriculture that is definitely the case. Whilst LED grow lights have been available on the market for over 10 years there is still a great deal of research being undertaken on how to capitalise on the benefits of LED and harness the potential of the technology for use with different plant species.

In recognition of the demand for high-performance reliable LED modules, which do exactly what luminaire manufacturers want, Forge has introduced a custom module. Every luminaire has different LOR, thermal and optical properties, and every luminaire manufacturer wants a USP. Forge has the technical expertise to ensure manufacturers get only the very best modules in their fittings.
