The innovative modular device connector with spring clamp technology - compatible with the trusted Wieland RST® MINI system. This modular device connector has been optimized for luminaire manufacturers, but also works well in many other areas. 

The greenhouse horticulture industry is undeniably a development in which growers are switching from HPS lighting to hybrid or full-LED lighting systems. This means that fixtures have to be replaced. And the installation of new fixtures also involves adjustment of the electrical installation.

We regularly visit our customers to see how they are getting on. That's not as easy as it used to be, but we can also reach our customers by telephone and using video conferencing. We would like to share our experiences in this section.Today: Smart investment in LED lighting

So, is DC (direct current) about to come to greenhouse horticulture, or not? What’s the situation at your end? You probably haven’t given it much thought, but I get asked increasingly often if the change to DC power is imminent.

Technological developments in the field of LED lighting for greenhouse horticulture are continuing at a rapid pace. As a result, partially (hybrid) or fully LED equipped lighting systems have become viable for many types of crop. However, as luminaires are replaced, in many cases the electrical infrastructure will need to be fully or partially adapted. Such alterations often involve a high cost for the market gardener. In order to minimise this knock-on effect, Isolectra has developed the RST® Y-adapter. A pluggable solution, the adapter enables existing systems to be used with minimal alteration and so avoid major lighting system investments. It’s just one more reason for greenhouse horticulturists to make the switch from HPS to LED lighting.
