The lighting –
the right variant for every application
The spatial arrangement of the light, the
required luminous intensity and the required
growth height of the test plants are the
most important parameters for the choice
of the suitable lighting. The RUMED
®
program offers a multitude of options,
particularly in the Premium-Line. You have
the choice between lateral lighting, lighting
in several levels, as well as lighting from
above. Suitable lamps are fluorescent lamps,
LEDs and metal halide vapour discharge
lamps. For in vitro cultivation, equipment
with a specific recirculating air system
is at disposal. Apart from that, we offer
appliances with the options ICH illumination
and photo stability. The model variants are
shown on the next pages, and all options
are listed in the overview on page 29.
LED Light bars: They are economical and offer more
possibilities in the arrangement of the test room.
Particularly suitable for illumination of small
plants: Fluorescent lamps on each level.
Much light, but not too much heat. These
fluorescent lamps are thermally insulated from
the test room.
Fluorescent lamp – flexible
and universally applicable
The fluorescent lamp is dimmable, cost-
efficient and energy-saving. It can be
replaced easily, and it dissipates less heat
into the test room. It allows variations of the
light spectrum by changing the tube type,
such as from daylight to Natura or Biolux.
Special insulated lamps allow high luminous
intensities, even with low test room tempera
tures. The optionally available multi-channel
light control allows control and dimming
in groups of fluorescent lamps in different
lighting levels and light spectra. Thus, light
spectra can be changed program-controlled,
or they can be combined freely with each
other.
Metal halide vapour
discharge lamp– powerful
Metal halide vapour discharge lamps are
powerful and allow extremely high luminous
intensities. But due to the high heat intro-
duction, a spatial separation of lighting and
test room is required. Various spectra are
available. Dimming is not possible. The
reduction of the luminous intensity is
effected by means of a group connection.
LED – High Tech
for your plants
LEDs are space and energy saving and
dissipate only less heat into the test room.
The special plant growth LEDs allow
individual mixing of the red and blue
portions of the spectrum by means of a
two-channel control. Different light colours
are available, the spectra of which are shown
in the graphs on page 28. Apart from that,
further light colours for fluorescent lamps
are available. Please contact us!
