LEDstick™ for Greenhouses
With electricity costs being prohibitive from the onset, even limited use of
HID/Fluorescent lighting in greenhouses is expensive at best, limiting farmers to
mostly spring and summer months.          image1
Prohibitively, the general plan is to use artificial lighting only when absolutely necessary, perhaps 2-6 hours per day.  Farmers burn sodium, halide, or fluorescent lighting but bulb replacements and electrical costs quickly add up. What if we add light to our greenhouses without the heavy electric bills and using bulbs which last 10-20 times longer? How much would we all benefit from year- round greenhouse crop production?
With LEDstick™, up to 50sqft of canopy can be illuminated extending day period and augmenting existing daylight. LEDstick™ (ref. photo 96″L x 2.5″W) uses just under 40 watts of electricity (Easy Solar/Wind Power).At 10 cents per kWh LEDstick™ will cost just 10 cents per 24 hours of operation, whilec HIDs will cost up to $3.00 per 24 hours of operation.  LEDstick™ requires no fans or heat sinks, because they emit very little heat. LEDstick™ is easy to raise and lower; using aircraft grade 3/64″ stainless cables and tiny Griplocks. Also light weight, and the slim design won’t block out sunlight.  Built to last for a lifetime of 11+ years, say goodbye to lamp and ballast replacement.LEDstick™ is how.
