Over Heliospectra AB<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Heliospectra AB (publ) (OTCQB: HLSPY, FIRSTNORTH: HELIO) (www.heliospectra.com<\/a>) is gespecialiseerd in intelligente verlichtingstechnologie voor plantenonderzoek en kassenteelt. Het verlichtingssysteem van het bedrijf biedt een effectieve en duurzame technologie voor het kweken van kas- en kamerplanten door verschillende groepen veelzijdige lichtgevende diodes (LED's) te combineren met optiek, remote sensing-technieken en een robuuste warmteafvoeroplossing. Deze gepatenteerde opstelling geeft kwekers de mogelijkheid om de intensiteit en golflengten van het uitgestraalde licht te regelen, waardoor een spectrum wordt gecre\u00eberd dat specifiek is aangepast aan verschillende plantensoorten en groeistadia om de fotosynthese beter te bevorderen. De complete, geavanceerde lamp produceert gewassen die er beter uitzien, beter smaken en langer houdbaar zijn dan gewassen die met HID-lampen worden gekweekt. De technologie verlaagt niet alleen het energieverbruik met wel 50%, maar helpt ook groeikenmerken te stimuleren en de kwaliteit van de plant te verbeteren. Andere voordelen zijn minder lichtvervuiling, minder kwikverbruik door het vermijden van traditionele HID\/HPS-lampen en minder HVAC-investeringen en maandelijkse kosten.<\/p>\n
