Canada: CLP becomes certified Philips LED Horti Partner

Commercial Lighting Products Ltd. and Philips are pleased to announce they are now official partners for Horticultural LED Lighting. CLP made the relationship official by signing the partnership contract and agreement on Oct 3rd, 2012. The ceremony took place at the Canadian Greenhouse Conference in Niagara Falls Ontario. Commercial Lighting Products Ltd. is pleased to market Philips Horticultural LED lighting products in Canada. Philips LED lighting offers high performance qualities, sustainability benefits and short paybacks and promises to dominate the horticulture landscape. Don Paul, CEO of Commercial Lighting Products Ltd. said “We’re very excited to partner with the Philips Horticulture Team in the development of LED products in Canada.”

Commercial Lighting Products Ltd. is a 100% Canadian owned and operated organization. With thirty years of experience in the lighting industry they are proud to be Western Canada’s largest lighting distributor.

Solid-state LED lighting offers a number of benefits to the horticulture industry, including increased yields, enabling earlier flowering, speeding up root growth/germination and enabling more economical use of space. LED lighting is also highly energy efficient, helping horticultural producers lower their electricity consumption, especially during high energy consumption periods.

Philips supports its partners in commercial projects and in field tests to find new light recipes for a wide variety of crops and applications. This is possible thanks to trials made by greenhouses, researchers and Universities working together with plant physiologists from Philips. The innovative partnership program creates a knowledge base with a worldwide network, and it allows growers and researchers to work with a certified partner in their own region who is trained in engineering, light recipes and the methodology to create the best results. This unique cooperation among growers, partners, researchers and Philips guarantees the best possible light recipes for every growth situation.
