“You’ve got to start with the customer experience and work back toward the technology – not the other way around.”
Steve Jobs
Why should lighting be any different? Why should growers settle for general solutions vs. customising the solution to their unique requirements? The answer to these questions differentiates a good product from a great product.
Customisation enables growers to maximise productivity and optimise cost of ownership:
Improved Crop Quality & Yield
Fewer Fixtures Used
Faster Installation
Optimised System Efficiency
Sustainable Design
Our Approach
We Listen
We Create
1.
Customised mounting solutions to accelerate installation & facilitate simple maintenance.
2.
Customised spectra to your specific crop & variety.
3.
Tailored PPFD tuned to your cultivation strategy.
4.
Fixture dimension & system configuration customised to your multi-layer, gutter & cart.
5.
Bespoke optical design to optimise intensity & colour uniformity within the specified headspace.
6.
AC & DC electrical configuration to align with the grower’s preferred power supply infrastructure.
We Deploy

Customisation in Action
Grower Challenge
“We’ve developed our own light recipe in R&D but need help producing a cost-effective version for rollout.”
“We need a maximum deviation of 10% spectral uniformity and a minimum 85% PPFD uniformity per layer.”
“We have issues mounting our existing lighting and keeping them level & stationary under increased airflow.”
“We need remote AC drivers mounted in the maintenance aisles to make access safer and easier for our team.”
Customised Solution by Bloem
35% fresh weight increase
25 % less fixtures used
50% shorter installation time
Grower Challenge
“We believe in Digital Electricity but need a quality lighting solution to operate efficiently on this technology.”
“We’re struggling to achieve our uniformity targets over the grow area because of our non-standard tray dimensions.”
“Our existing lighting gets easily damaged when staff are repositioning grow-carts in and out of stalls.”
“We would like to increase the PPFD in our grow-carts but are concerned about thermal load on the plants.”
