KAPPA - Ventilated Lighting

Ventilated Lighting by KAPPA AgTech

The First Truly Integrated HPS Replacement: Precision Light, Canopy Heat, and Targeted Airflow in One Fixture.

Ventilated Lighting is the patented, award-winning innovation that finally delivers a complete HPS replacement—providing not just superior light, but also the crucial canopy-level heat and precise airflow control that traditional LEDs lack. This is a new class of infrastructure for commercial greenhouses, unifying lighting, heating, and climate control into a single, intelligent platform.

The Ultimate HPS Successor -- a bold claim:

• The Light & The Heat: We've solved the "LEDs are too cool" problem. Our system captures waste heat from the LEDs and actively delivers it directly to the plant canopy via integrated fans. This heat arrives at the plant canopy via convection, and controlled by the grower, rather than delivering an uncontrolled IR spike. This reclaims valuable BTUs, reduces your dependency on boiler systems, and slashes heating fuel costs, all while maintaining the energy efficiency and spectrum control of advanced LEDs.
• Unprecedented Airflow Control: This is more than a fan; it's a climate control actuator. Each fixture features an independently controllable, reversible fan. Actively manage your microclimate by directing airflow where it's needed—whether to dry a humid canopy, strengthen plant stems, or evenly redistribute warmth and CO₂. You have command over the leaf boundary layer for the first time.

Key Benefits & Grower Outcomes:

• Replace HPS & Fans in One Move: Consolidate your capital equipment and simplify your infrastructure with a single, scalable solution.
• Eliminate Microclimate Diseases: Dramatically reduce instances of tipburn, Botrytis, and powdery mildew by breaking up stagnant air pockets and maintaining ideal VPD right at the leaf surface.
• Slash Energy & Fuel Costs: Reduce heating fuel consumption by using reclaimed LED heat and minimize CO₂ loss by reducing humidity-driven venting.
• Climate-Responsive Growing: Our system is built for automation. Let your climate computer or AI platform take direct, real-time control of light intensity, fan speed, and airflow direction to respond to sun events, sunrises, sunsets, and internal humidity spikes.
• Future-Proof & Safe Installation: Compatible with Class 4 / Fault Managed Power systems for significantly lower installation costs, no rigid conduit, and enhanced electrical safety.
