Pepper Production Trials Entering a Fourth Year
Signify and the University of British Columbia has announced that their pepper production trial is now entering its fourth year. This trial, which focuses on optimizing dynamic lighting conditions, has delivered insights into how pepper plants respond to artificial lighting throughout the year. 2025 will mark the culmination of this extensive research project. The final results will be presented in a comprehensive whitepaper, which will detail the outcomes of this trial and combine insights from all other pepper trials conducted around the world. By synthesizing this knowledge, Signify aims to provide growers with a definitive guide to optimizing pepper production using LED lighting, ensuring that they can continue to improve yields and quality well into the future.

UK – Perth Concert Hall has taken a significant step towards sustainability and modernisation with the completion of its ‘Lights-Up Perth Concert Hall’ project, which saw the replacement of its tungsten lighting system with an advanced LED set-up. Spearheaded by Stage Electrics, this upgrade marks a new era for the venue, enhancing both its environmental credentials and artistic capabilities. The switch from tungsten to LED lighting has provided Perth Concert Hall with numerous benefits. LED lights consume up to 80% less power, generate less heat and have a longer lifespan, resulting in lower maintenance and operational costs. The new system also offers enhanced flexibility, with instant and precise colour changes, smoother dimming and dynamic effects such as strobes and fades that were previously unattainable.
