The art or science of
cultivating gardens.
In 2012 the LED had well and truly embedded itself into the commercial lighting sector due to
technological advancements in reliability and performance. The regular inux of cheaply
manufactured and poor quality imported products and the obvious addition from the quality brands
had resulted in a tough, fragmented market.
One sector where uptake and acceptance of the LED was not as apparent was the horticultural
market, despite us seeing more hydroponically grown crops than ever before.
The market at this point did have the expected, imported products which were insucient in terms
of quality, performance and reliability and a team of energetic and ambitious UK based lighting
designers saw a gap..infact a gaping hole! There was no purely high quality, ultra high output,
UK manufactured horticultural luminaires. There was not a prestige product
and thats when e-llume was born.
We set about putting together a market leading range of products in terms of quality, reliability and
performance. We were met with much resistance due to the aforementioned poor quality,
reputation killing products but we just love handing the naysayers one of our luminaires for a trial!
The last two years have seen many LED converts and our results are outstandingoften
unbelievable.
As the LED horticultural sector continues to grow, we will always sit where our ambitions have led us,
striving for the ultimate yield whilst oering a safe, environmentally sound and reliable product.
The time is now.

NOT SO LONG AGO IT WAS NOT BELIEVED THAT YOU COULD INCREASE CROP YIELD WHILST
REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION.
WITH E-LLUME THIS IS THE NORM.
HIGH EFFICIENCY. HIGH PERFORMANCE
Benets of LEDs
Light is an important horticultural production tool and a key
factor in plant research. LEDs (light emitting diodes) are set to
play a major role in horticultural lighting. With LED lighting, the
growth light spectral output can be tuned, which makes it
possible to apply the optimum light recipe at every stage of a
crops growth. This capability, together with eective heat
management, long lifetime,
high luminous ecacy and energy eciency, opens up
tremendous opportunities for growers and breeders.
For the commercial horticulture market this means increased
yield, early owering, faster (root) growth, and more economical
use of space.
LED is practical and a useable technology that produces the
environmental savings we require. Our duty when considering
environmental input is to present all the benets of LED
technology and educate our clients.
Co2 emissions
Lighting is one of the easiest ways to save energy. Switching to
green alternatives has an immediate impact on energy use,
CO2 emissions and the environment. LED lighting supports
sustainable design in several ways: it uses less energy, lasts
longer (which means less frequent replacement and therefore
reduced waste), is mercury free and can be housed in special
luminaires designed for easier disassembly and recycling.
Sustainability and respect for the environment are key values of
e-llume. With LED solutions we take a major step forward in
achieving both aims.
Horto-Tune
Because of our ability to manipulate the output of the
LED we can recreate the exact spectral requirements
of any crop like never before.
Frequencies are the result of years of scientic
research into photosynthetic ecacy. In simple terms,
our luminaires provide the absolute best possible
light to allow your crops to ourish.
Other factors can also be controlled for example
canopy height and plant density.
At e-llume we provide the best possible toolsthe rest
is over to you.
PAR
Photosynthetically Active Radiation is dened
by the CIE as the total photon exposure in the
400 to 700 nm waveband range of radiation
that is absorbed by photosynthetic pigments.
Coincidentally, this is almost the same range of
wavelengths that is associated with human vision
(380-780 nm). However, human vision is most
sensitive to the green range of wavelengths
(peak sensitivity is at 555 nm).
Chlorophyll b
Chlorophyll b is a form of chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll b helps in photosynthesis by
absorbing light energy. It is more soluble than
chlorophyll a in polar solvents because of its
carbonyl group. Its colour is yellow and it
primarily absorbs blue light.

Radii-solis range
Introducing the 2015 Radii Solis range of LED horticultural
luminaires with class leading components and UK build
quality. The user can expect increased yields and reduced energy
costs.
Each Radii-solis is hand built in our state of the art production facility
based in South Yorkshire, England. The entire production process,
from the aluminium extruded components to the nal assembly, is
organised strategically and eciently ensuring all aspects of quality
and precision are adhered to.
Our assembly specialists oversee every step of production subjecting
every individual part to intense inspection procedures.
This ensures that every single luminaire manufactured will more than
match the customary high quality standards of e-Llume ltd.

Traditional lamp data based on general information. Check your current lamp supplier for exact data.
Further savings can be made by utilising the 3 switching modes thoughout the growth cycle.
Due to the extended lamp life of LEDs over traditional discharge lamp installations, excellent
maintenance savings can be achieved on lamp replacements and planned maintenance over the
lifetime of the luminaire.
