Merging science and technology
Our in-house engineering facilities are located at our company site in Steinhöring, near Munich. They are equipped with the latest technology and sophisticated devices for precise measurement and testing. This is where the first prototypes of the now world-famous HORTURION® series were manufactured more than a decade ago. To this day, the laboratories offer ideal conditions for innovations and world premieres like the first 1150 W / 2400 μmol/s HPS lamp, which was launched in 2020.

For a long period of time the output of a 1000 W HPS lamp was restricted below 2000 μmol/s. The reason for the restriction was the gas pressure inside the burner and the technology used to ignite the lamp.
Our engineers optimised the gas pressure and developed a novel ignition technology, called HORTURION® triple capacitor. This opened the way for a new lamp generation making the HORTURION® HPS one of the most efficient and most stable HPS lamps currently available.
