Distal , the Department of Food Sciences and Technologies at the Italian University of Bologna , one of the with child centers in Europe in the field of agricultural inquiry , has take the society degree Celsius - lead to completely renew the lighting elements in its experimental greenhouses .
The greenhouse composite in Bologna , Italy
The former Na lamps have been replaced by 430 Combo LED of 300 Isaac Watts each . This should save 40 % on electricity .

The startup took place on 23 December 2024 in Bologna , with the attending of Giovanni Molari ( University Rector ) , Rosalba Lanciotti ( Director of Distal ) , Serena Venturi ( coordinator of the greenhouse building complex ) , and legion teachers and research worker . Present for blow - LED were president Nevio Pelliconi and representatives Mirco Berti and Raffaello Montanari .
Some new lamp
" The lamps we have installed in the nursery stand out for their efficiency and low consumption , essential to Led applied science . Moreover , they fully respond to the motive of the customer , in this typeface , the University of Bologna , " explained Berti and Montanari .
Some new lamps in use
" To activate the good potential growth of crops , scientists await for the appropriate lighter intensiveness and wavelengths ( spectrum ) . "
One of the experimental ' room '
Because of their technological characteristics , these lead fixtures are ordinarily installed in greenhouses equipped with sensors that measure light intensity and temperature . The data obtained are communicated via gateway to a central ascendance building block from which parameters are then sent to the individual Led units .
Rector Giovanni Molari
The parameters are set automatically base on the information collect by the sensor . Through a swarm , accessible from a PC or smartphone , it is possible to monitor and handle the entire system . The arrangement satisfy the requirements of Transition Plan 4.0 and can also be considered among the " Systems for Quality Assurance and Sustainability . "
The university ’s greenhouse complex , which covers some 2,000 square meters , is place to a wide potpourri of research activity in the areas of veggie , fruit , and ornamental cultivation and parasite control .

" With these light , we are betting on energy deliverance , efficiency , and quality of research . The investment had long been project , but in these times of skyrocketing vigour costs , it ’s obviously very useful now . The entire University of Bologna was spending about € 15 million a class on electrical energy ; now , we foresee the cost doubling . We expect to recoup the investment in C - LED ’s engineering for our greenhouses within about three years , " said Rector Molari .
C - LED , part of the Cefla group , specify in the design and production of electronic applications and lighting solution tailored to client ' needs . speed of light - LED focus mainly on companies operating in indoor refinement and offer a terminated range of Led products and advice .
