LOWER ENERGY, HIGHER OUTPUT
Bordon Hill, part of the global Ball Horticulture group, is one of Britain’s leading plant growers - producing over 270 million young plants every year across 5 hectares of glasshouses. Determined to reduce energy demand while maintaining quality, they partnered with NLight to achieve more light with less power.
PROJECT Details
Bordon Hill needed a lighting solution that could cut energy use while supporting high-output young plant production. With the installation of RV1200 fixtures and a 3-channel control system, they now deliver stronger growth, more sustainable production, and measurable energy savings.
GREENHOUSE SIZE:
5 hectares
LOCATION:
Netherlands
Control System:
3-channel spectrum & intensity control
Fixtures Installed:
36 × RV1200
Objective:
Reduce energy demand while enhancing crop development
Outcome:
60% more light with less than half the power consumption of previous systems
Crop Types:
Young plants (multiple varieties)
Sustainability Focus:
Lower energy consumption, reduced costs, and greener production at scale
PRECISION LIGHTING, PRACTICAL RESULTS
Young plant production is energy-intensive. With NLight, Bordon Hill has achieved a smarter balance of efficiency and quality, showing how technology can advance both.
BALANCING SCALE WITH SUSTAINABILITY
Producing hundreds of millions of young plants a year demands energy efficiency - NLight LEDs deliver the light intensity needed without the high energy cost.
TAILORED GROWTH STRATEGIES
With 3-channel spectrum and intensity control, Bordon Hill adapts lighting conditions to the specific needs of each crop.
CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE
Stronger growth and reliable results secure Bordon Hill’s reputation as one of the UK’s most advanced growing sites.
A PARTNERSHIP FOR THE FUTURE
This collaboration highlights how innovative lighting supports both productivity and sustainability in modern horticulture.
