Van Egmond X RED Horticulture

A strategic decision for the future


Two years ago, Van Egmond made the ambitious decision to shift from conventional HPS lighting to an advanced LED lighting system. This transformation reflects their drive to optimize flexibility, energy efficiency and plant control, ensuring that every Lisianthus cultivated meets their renowned high-quality standards. With RED Horticulture’s individually controllable 4-channel LED technology, Van Egmond has unlocked new possibilities for fine-tuning light spectra, allowing for a more sustainable and optimized growing process.


José van Egmond, Cultivation Manager at Van Egmond, shares: “The transition to LED was not a decision we made lightly. We started with a hybrid system, but it lacked the level of control and flexibility we needed. Flexibility is key for us and RED Horticulture’s solution provided exactly that – the ability to individually adjust light colors such as blue and far-red to support optimal plant growth.”


More than just lighting: A complete cultivation strategy


RED Horticulture’s lighting system has become a crucial component of Van Egmond’s overall cultivation strategy. By integrating the MyRED software with Van Egmond’s climate control system, they now operate with real-time insights into greenhouse conditions. This data-driven approach enables them to refine their growing processes year-round, ensuring consistent quality while improving operational efficiency.

Abram Schaap, Scientist at Van Egmond, highlights: “Smart Dimming has completely transformed how we manage our lighting strategy. It allows us to dynamically adjust light intensity based on what the plants truly need. This has not only enhanced plant growth but has also significantly improved our energy efficiency. We now have precise control over when and how we use specific light spectra, which has been a game-changer in optimizing our production.”


Partnering for innovation and sustainability


RED Horticulture is proud to support Van Egmond Lisianthus in their pursuit of innovation and excellence. With increasing regulatory pressure on energy consumption and sustainability, this partnership sets a strong example of how modern technology can drive the future of horticulture.


Pim Joeloemsigh, Sales Manager at RED Horticulture, adds: “Van Egmond’s ambition and drive for quality are truly commendable. They didn’t just adopt LED technology; they fully embraced it, ensuring they maximize its potential for their business. We are incredibly proud to support them and look forward to continuing this journey together.”


A call to action for growers


The shift towards LED is not just about installing new lighting; it requires a new cultivation mindset. Van Egmond’s experience underscores the importance of testing, adapting and working closely with specialists and customers to ensure a smooth transition. For other growers considering the switch; their journey provides valuable insights into the benefits of precision-controlled lighting.


José van Egmond concludes: “Our advice to other growers? Take the time to experiment, trust your specialists, keep the communication with customers transparent. If you do, you’ll see that LED technology is not just the future – it’s the present.”

Smart Dimming is a dynamic LED lighting solution that combines advanced hardware and software, calculating spectrum setpoints using real-time and forecasted sunlight, weather, energy data plus sensor feedback. Powered by RED’s proprietary RED Mesh protocol, communication between the MyRED box and light fixtures is seamless. As sunlight intensity shifts, Smart Dimming gradually reallocates power to the most efficient LED colors, like red, to boost photosynthesis and balance growth.
