Your Project,
Our Engineering

From the initial lighting audit to the complete execution file, our integrated engineering office designs custom LED lighting solutions for horticulture, research and commercial premises.

DIALux/Relux photometric modelling, regulatory compliance, smart controls and CEE/France 2030 financial support: a single point of contact for every project stage.

Process

Our 6-Step Methodology

A rigorous process, from the site audit to the execution dossier, guaranteeing lighting performance, compliance and cost control.

Week 1

Lighting Audit

Comprehensive survey of existing installations: source types, installed wattages, electrical schematics, wiring condition.

  • In-situ PPFD / illuminance measurements
  • Uniformity & UGR mapping
  • Building characteristics
Week 1-2

Requirements Analysis

Precise definition of lighting objectives and identification of all project constraints.

Lighting objectives

PPFD/DLI per crop or lux per work area

Thermal constraints

Heat balance, ventilation, dehumidification

Electrical constraints

Available power, cable cross-sections

Regulatory requirements

NF EN standards, CEE, photobiological safety

Week 2-3

DIALux / Relux Photometric Study

Full 3D modelling with IES/LDT photometric files for each LED luminaire.

  • PPFD / lux maps
  • Uniformity U₀ calculation
  • 3D visual renders
  • Photoperiod scenarios
Week 3-4

Luminaire Layout Plan

Precise positioning of each luminaire to achieve the target lighting performance objectives.

Heights & Spacings

Calculated from each luminaire's polar diagram

Orientations

Optimised to cover the cultivation surface

Research Uniformity

U₀ ≥ 0.7 – 0.8 (scientific protocols)

Production Uniformity

U₀ ≥ 0.6 (economic optimisation)

Week 4

Thermal Balance

Quantification of the LED solution's thermal impact on the growing environment.

  • Heat gains (W/m²)
  • Heating / cooling calculations
  • Dehumidification impact
  • HVAC recommendations
Week 4-5

Execution Dossier

Delivery of the complete dossier, ready to hand over to the installing electrician.

Single-line and multi-line electrical schematics
Quantified material lists (luminaires, drivers, cables)
Control specifications (DALI-2, 0-10V, DMX)
Work phasing and installation schedule
Compliance

Standards & Regulations

Full command of the French and European regulatory framework. We integrate normative requirements from the design stage to secure your projects and funding.

EN 61347Control gear
EN 62471Photobiological safety
Risk group< 2 (moderate risk)

Regional Grants

Case-by-case verification

Each region has its own schemes to support agricultural investment and energy transition.

  • Consultation of official regional portals
  • Cumulation possible with CEE and ADEME
  • Our team verifies your eligibility
Automation

Control Protocols

We select and integrate the appropriate communication protocol for each application, from simple dimming to full IoT orchestration.

DALI-2

Bidirectional

International standard for dimmable tertiary and horticultural luminaires. Bidirectional communication: control and status feedback for each luminaire.

Individual addressing 64 luminaires/bus Status feedback

0-10V

Analogue

Simple luminous intensity control via analogue signal. An economical and reliable solution for installations that do not require individual addressing.

Easy to install Cost-effective Dimming 0-100%

DMX512

High-speed

Reference protocol for fast lighting scenography. Ideal for zoos, museography and dynamic multi-colour lighting.

512 channels/universe Dynamic scenarios RGB / RGBW

Zigbee / LoRa

Radio & IoT

Wireless communication for group-based luminaire control with status feedback and cloud access. Ideal for large areas and retrofit projects.

No bus wiring Groups & zones Cloud connected

Greenhouse Automation

Full integration

Native integration with the leading greenhouse climate management controllers: Priva, Ridder, Hoogendoorn.

Priva Ridder Hoogendoorn

Smart Control

Multi-criteria

Advanced control algorithms combining multiple real-time parameters to optimise production and reduce costs.

  • Supplementing natural radiation
  • Instantaneous electricity price (spot)
  • Daily DLI targets per crop
Monitoring

Cloud & IoT Supervision

Maintain full control of your installation from anywhere. Our cloud platform centralises consumption data, lighting performance and predictive maintenance.
