Philips LED lighting supporting raspberry tomato greenhouse production
Karczew, Poland
“The large-scale full LED project in our greenhouse was a success. Signify’s horticulture specialists helped us with their extensive knowledge on tomato cultivation under artificial lighting.”
- Piotr Kociszewski
Customer challenge
The Polish market increasingly demands year-round availability of fresh, high-quality tomatoes with consistent taste. Traditional HPS lighting systems are no longer cost-efficient. After successful LED trials, the grower needed a scalable, energy-efficient solution to enable sustainable, intensive tomato production while maintaining product quality and reducing energy consumption.
Solution
The vegaPOL Kociszewski implemented Philips LED lighting, combining toplighting and interlighting to achieve 260 µmol/m²/s. This enables energy-efficient, year-round tomato production while reducing energy consumption by over 40% compared to HPS systems. The solution ensures stable growing conditions, predictable yields, and supports sustainable production with consistent, high-quality output.
