PYO (Pick Your Own) is a web tool developed by Intelligent Horticultural Solutions (IHS) that offers customers the ability to choose specific LED’s and place them in any position on a board of their choice. PYO has been created with a key R&D focus in mind, allowing you to achieve the optimal lighting mix for your project and create your own custom LED recipes. With the horticultural LED market in its infancy we have found that customers are looking for a product that they can customise to fit their needs and ensure optimal plant growth, this is where PYO came from. With an MOQ of just 1, PYO is perfect as there is no such thing as standard in the development stage!
An LED’s primary optic only tends to emit directional light at 120°, but this is not suitable for all applications, and therefore can cause the LED light to lack intensity over distance. To get an LED to produce light in the desired way with a more focused intensity, it is necessary to use a secondary optic to concentrate or diffuse the light emitted.
Chris Landa-Font, our R&D manager is raising money for a wonderful cause – Muscular Dystrophy UK. Muscular Dystrophy UK is the charity bringing individuals, families and professionals together to beat muscle-wasting conditions. He has vowed to shave his beard off for this cause, as his daughter suffers with this very rare condition. So far Chris and his family have raised a fantastic £1000! Any donations, big or small, will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Chris: “I seem to have grown a rather long beard by mistake. My son had a great idea that I should shave it off for charity and we all agreed. My daughter has a very rare condition called Juvenile Dermatomyositis (It’s taken us 3 years to pronounce this correctly) It’s a very little understood condition that affects 2-3 children per million.”
Message from my daughter: “I would love it if you could help us achieve our goal. The hospitals I go to are great, however a cure would be fandabydosy because I hate the treatment.”
IHS was recently thrilled to be named the Innovation winner in the New Product Showcase at the National Plant Show (NPS), an annual event run by the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA).
IHS, recent HTA members, received the accolade for the ‘Ready to Grow’ range of Florence horticultural LED grow lights. The show took place from 18-19 June 2019 at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry.
It was a great success with many British suppliers to the horticultural market exhibiting their products and services. The show was attended suppliers to the green fingered public such as garden centres, landscape gardeners, etc., who voted IHS’s LED grow lights the most inspiring, Innovative New Product to be showcased at the NPS.
The Florence grow light modules are proving to be a success within the sector having already won the Award for Best Innovation 2018 at the GroSouth Show held last November when the product range was officially launched.
IHS’s Florence range is designed specifically for low and no sunlight applications, maximising growth potential whilst minimising both initial purchase costs and on-going running costs. The Florence unit is no deeper than a standard fluorescent tube fitting, allowing an easy switch to LED lighting without losing growing space.
The modular design enables a smooth, effortless installation, which paired with the standard 100-240V AC mains input, allows for a quick and easy electrical installation, saving further time and cost. LED recipes are available for a wide range of standard horticultural applications, as well as fully customisable solutions.
There are currently eight different standard Florence LED recipes to choose from including; Biomass, Seeding, Flowering, and Fruiting” (available for applications both with or without existing daylight). Three different lens options are available, per recipe – narrow, wide and oval to direct the light onto the target areas.

One of the most important decisions that farmers and vineyard owners have to make involves getting the timing right for the harvest. This not only ensures that the produce has the best possible taste but also means that precious time and money can be saved at the subsequent processing and shipment stages. To make it easier for farmers and vineyard owners to gage the right time for the harvest, Osram now presents its new Oslon Black SFH 4736 near-infrared LED (NIRED). Simply scanning fruit or cereal crops with the NIRED installed in a smartphone or tablet produces reliable information about the sugar, water and fat content.
Great work from St Mary’s junior school, who have built 24 raised beds to grow food to sell to the local community. The school decided to install a Bio-Dome and use horticultural LEDs to improve yields. All profits being donated to charity.
