Cammie Mckenzie Supercharges Managed Setting Agriculture utilizing LED Increase Lights


Santa Clarita, CA (PRWEB) June 10, 2012

Greenhouse growing plays a huge role in the production of localized crops, allowing for enhanced yields per acre compared to outdoor farming and reduced trucking needs. These controlled environments have been operating for decades using HPS (High Pressure Sodium) grow lights for supplementation when daylight hours get week in the fall/winter, or to boost high intensity crops such as cucumbers or trellised tomatoes.

President of Hydro Grow the world’s leading LED Grow Light manufacturer, Cammie Mckenzie sees a new approach for commercial greenhouse growers that will not only reduce operational expenses, but will supercharge greenhouse yields to levels their owners had never previously imagined.

Cammie Mckenzie is the leading scientist and engineer behind the popular line of Hydro Grow Extreme LED Grow Lights. Over the past 4.5 years her company has perfected LED Grow Light technology to the point where their output in the PAR (photosynthetic active radiation) range is now exceeding HPS while using less than half the watts.

What makes Cammie Mckenzie unique in her industry is that she claims she is able to manipulate the way a crop can grow in regards to height, rate, end yield, and overall growth time simply by tweaking the output of the LEDs in Hydro Grow’s lights. “Through working with Universities and carrying out numerous studies on our own, we have been able to develop custom lights specific to widely grown commercial crops such as tomatoes and cucumbers. Each plant has vastly different needs in regards to the ratios and wavelengths of light it requires to grow at its most optimal point, and dialing those spectra in is our specialty,” stated Mrs. Mckenzie.

A recent Press Release on Hydro Grow gives substantial evidence that Cammie Mckenzie is not just confident in her own abilities, but that her theories turn into real-life results. A high school teacher in Canada who runs a class on agriculture recently uploaded a video to YouTube showing a light Hydro Grow had custom-developed for cucumbers. Amazingly with only 130W of power his class yielded 191 full-sized cucumbers which helped raise money for his program. Cammie Mckenzie had this to say, “When you balance a light for cucumbers it has been documented by both Hydro Grow and Nasa that you can speed up growth rates as much as 30% while improving yields by up to double compared to imbalanced spectra. We did this in this test where our custom-developed cucumber light produced double the yield of our standard LED Grow Light. Since HPS uses only 1 output that is unable to be tuned, commercial farmers presently using this technology are missing out on reduced crop cycles and up to twice the yields they are achieving now.”

According to Mrs. Mckenzie controlled environment agriculture in greenhouses around the world would benefit tremendously by making the switch to LED Grow Light technology. The largest light offered by her company is called the 336X-PRO, which consumes 520W of electricity and replaces a 1000W HPS. Based on scientific graphing and spectroradiometer analysis, Mckenzie has proven that their LED Grow Light surpasses the output of a 1000W HPS while covering the same sized area and penetrating over a foot deeper into leaf tissues. Those who are already making the switch to Hydro Grow LED Grow Lights are seeing energy bills cut as much as 60% with yields increasing over previous lighting systems. “The future is LED and I think everyone can already sense that” said Mckenzie, “now it’s just getting the key individuals to try LED and see for themselves to see the amazing potential of our technology.”

Swords, Ireland (PRWEB) May 03, 2012

Ingersoll Rand addressed global challenges with local action as thousands of Ingersoll Rand employees worldwide participated in Earth Day activities April 16-27.

The events and workshops for employees, customers and the community demonstrate how collaboration can improve the environment for everyone. Participants learned how to use energy more efficiently, reduce waste, improve their carbon footprint and green the environment. Specific events included:


Kansas City: Employees received free vehicle tire pressure checks to ensure optimal fuel efficiency; a shredding truck was also on site to shred and recycle office and home papers; and associates learned about rain barrels and composting from local organizations.

Hong Kong: Employees traveled to an organic farm where they learned about the health benefits of eating organically. They also had the opportunity to help with farm work, such as plowing and planting seeds.

Clarksville, Tenn: Back by popular demand, an e-waste recycling event collected thousands of pounds of electronic waste from employees. The items such as computers and televisions were properly recycled and kept out of the local landfill.

Ingersoll Rand employees make personal choices to improve the environment throughout the year, such as carpooling to work, installing energy-efficient home cooling and heating systems, choosing energy-saving light bulbs, and more. Earth Day events give everyone a chance to get even more involved and create a world of sustainable progress and ensure enduring results that provide growth for the company and value for its customers.

Lumens.com Introduces Unique CSYS LED Job Lamp by Jake Dyson, Created to Last More than 37 A long time


Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) May 31, 2012

Lumens.com has introduced the new CSYS LED Task Lamp by Jake Dyson, a revolutionary design built to last more than 37 years.

Available exclusively at Lumens.com, the CSYS LED Task Lamp is the latest contemporary lighting introduction from Jake Dyson, the result of six years of researching the mechanics and technology needed to innovate task lighting. The sleekly designed CSYS has a number of features that go beyond the conventions of the everyday desk lamp:

Built-in cooling mechanism: The advanced technology behind the CSYS is instrumental in keeping the lamp running for more than 37 years. Inside, the lamp features heat pipe technology, which conducts heat away from the LED lights and distributes it evenly over the length of the heat sink. Without requiring external pumps or extra energy to cool the LEDs, the CSYS is able to run brightly and efficiently for an extraordinary long timemore than 160,000 hours.

Dimmable LED lamping: Despite ever-accelerating technology that makes it challenging to keep up, the CSYS Task Lamp was designed around the latest generation of high-power, warm white LED lights and is fully dimmable. The spread and intensity of light can be controlled within the working area based on the lamps positioning. The technology also prevents early life failure of the LEDs and ensures a stable performance.

Innovative positioning: Inspired by a construction crane and drawing board, the CSYS can be adjusted effortlessly in three axes, similar to how a cable car moves along a cable. The mechanics are designed with precision to ensure smooth, exact positioning that doesnt sag or droop after it is let go.

The name CSYS refers to the system of coordinates that defines an objects position in the X, Y and Z axis. The lamp was also featured at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair during New York Design Week this month to much acclaim for its superior functionality and sustainability.

The son of high-profile inventor James Dyson (already a household name in vacuums and fans), Jake Dyson studied Industrial Design at Central St Martins College of Art and Design and began his career designing retail interiors in shops, cafes and clubs. He later bought a mill and lathe to start experimenting and developing products, with a hands-on approach all the way through conception to a products manufacture. His studio and workshop are based in Clerkenwell in London.

Lumens.com is the first to offer the CSYS Task Lamp, in stock and ready to ship. In addition to the new and exclusive lighting by Jake Dyson, Lumens.com also offers:

LEDs That Appear Just Like Standard Bulbs Nularis Provides a Basic search to LEDs


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 24, 2012

LEDs are known for their sharp, jagged looking metal edges, but Nularis has found that many people would prefer to have an LED bulb that looks like a traditional bulb.

The Classic line, now on sale on Nularis web store http://www.WholesaleLED.com, has a wide variety of LEDs that can identically replace nearly any incandescent or halogen light bulb. These LEDs bulbs use approximately 90% less power than incandescent and halogen lighting, but unlike other LEDs they will light up the room with a rich warm light that matches the traditional lighting they replace.

For example, the 10 watt Classic Look PAR38 from Nularis shines with more than 900 lumens of light, roughly equal to a 75 watt incandescent bulb, and looks much the same too. Other LED brands require 12 to 15 watts to produce the same amount of light, which means consumers will now be able to save even more energy than before by using WholesaleLEDs Classic line. And, unlike many other LED bulbs that often give a spotlight effect, the Nularis Classic Look PAR38 features a 120 degree beam angle, allowing it to provide light for an entire room.

People are more comfortable with something that looks like what they are used to, Says Nularis Vice President, Era Tadevosian. You expect a new technology like LED light bulb to look like a traditional light bulb, and there is really no reason for it to be engineered into something that looks like it should be orbiting the planet.

The Nularis Classic Look product line also includes a standard frosted light bulb that seamlessly replaces a 40 watt incandescent, both in design and rich warm light color.

The Classic Look collection is available to retailers and electrical distributers at a large discount, but the public can also purchase small quantities directly from the company. To learn more, visit WholesaleLED.com.

What Does It Mean To Use Green Energy Sources?

Replace your windows with more energy-efficient ones. Windows with a better seal will reduce your energy bills, keep road noise out of your house, and limit window condensation.

Paint your walls bright, light colors, and you can save electricity. If you use dark colors, it will lead to more electricity being used to lighten the room. This would lead to your home not being as green. Selecting lighter colors will make you home feel brighter, which would mean you can save money because you will use less electricity.

If you use fuel oil to heat your home, a technician can give you information about changing over to biodiesel. A lot of the existing systems can be modified with minimal parts or alterations. Bio-diesel fuels burn more efficiently and cleaner than conventional petroleum- based fuel oil.

A tankless water heater that heats water on-demand is a great energy saving device. Old fashioned water heaters would constantly run, heating water even when it is not needed, and therefore wasting energy. This type of point of use heater warms the water as it is required, and can result in significant cost savings.

Is your boiler over 10 years old? Buy a new one to save money! Old boilers were created without considering energy consumption, and new boilers are more efficient. They can reduce your energy bill and they don’t produce as much carbon dioxide.

Check the seal on your oven: heat might be escaping every time you use it. A broken seal can easily cause your oven to use up to 50% more energy, so make sure to check the seal of your oven periodically.

Do things like wash your clothes inside some cold water, if you can. Nearly 90% of the energy that is consumed when you wash your clothes is taken up heating the water. Good detergents wash clothes even in cold water. Only wash when you have a full load of clothes to put in the washer.

Water-saving toilets are easy to find and install. Toilets account for approximately 50 percent of water usage in the average home. Older models of toilets can have a capacity of 5 gallons. That is 5 gallons of wasted water per flush. New water saving models use closer to a gallon and a half of water per flush. This can save 70 percent of the water you used previously.

Demand that watch dog legislation is put into place to get companies to use green energy. Awareness is a great tool to use and is often, not used enough. People may boycott companies that don’t use green energy to increase profit. It is important that all businesses are held accountable for their energy use, so as to encourage others to do the right thing by embracing green energy.

Carpooling doesn’t have to be just for work. Kids can also form carpools to school by alternating parents days. If you live near another family and friends, then synchronize your grocery shopping days and take turns being the driver.

Check your refrigerator seals to avoid wasted energy. A damaged seal will cause your fridge to use more energy than necessary, wasting both energy and money. In order to see if you need to replace the seal, slide a small piece of paper inside the door, and be sure it doesn’t slide back out easily.

Now that you’re aware of green tech, hopefully you begin using it at home. By incorporating the tips and techniques of this article, you too can begin using green energy. You will get thanks from both your wallet and the environment when you convert to green technology.

I was an environmental lover for quite a few years. I am specifically excited about how energy saving light bulbs could make contributions to bettering the environment. The lowest carbon footprint can be accomplished by using LED bulbs and plenty of individuals are now changing halogen light bulbs to get LED MR16 as well as LED GU10 lamps.
