Fluence's presence will also include an in-booth expert session with Dominique van Gruisen, managing director of Innexo BV.

The LED lighting leader also announced the launch of the newest generation of VYPR, a high-performance linear top light for greenhouse crops, which will be available for public viewing and demonstration at Fluence's stand during GreenTech, the leading global meeting place for the horticulture industry. In addition to VYPR, attendees will also be able to interact with Fluence's comprehensive product suite, including RAPTR, VYNE, SPYDR, RAZR and Wireless Flex Dimming fixtures.

The latest extension of the VYPR series delivers a new level of flexibility and control to growers through dual-channel far-red capability. Adding an independent control channel for far-red light empowers growers with the ability to manipulate crop morphology and increase energy savings, opening new applications for growers of flowers, strawberries and cucumbers. The latest VYPR product is now available as an 800W platform, making it a one-to-one replacement for 1000W HPS fixtures while offering higher light intensity and lower energy consumption.

"The newest generation of Fluence's VYPR product line is built to deliver growers exactly what they’ve been asking for: greater versatility, enhanced light distribution and higher output to increase crop yield, uniformity and quality," said Graves. "Advancements in our understanding of light spectra have led to a more sophisticated product and a new tool to drive optimal crop performance and profitability."

The latest VYPR product is designed to improve uniformity with wider light distribution, featuring a 150-degree optic across R8, R8F, R9 and R9F light spectra. It maintains a slim form factor and low-profile design but now offers more flexible installation options that make mounting faster and help reduce installation costs.
