Tower Farms featured in airports, convention centers, or any other area without natural light are using artificial lights as follows:
– Minimum 1000 watts per fixture, regardless of type… MH, HPS, or LED.
– Fixtures need to be mounted at least 3 feet (1m) above the top of the Tower, regardless of Tower height.
– A support structure is needed like the one featured at Chicago O’Hare airport (which was custom-built) as illustrated on the photos published on this page. Alternatively, lights can be ‘hang fixtures’ from a ceiling truss.
– Use 1.1 light fixtures per tower in a staggered array to get sufficient coverage. Example: 100 Towers x 1.1 = 110 fixtures, minimum.
– We can provide CAD layout for Towers and light locations to get accurate count of fixtures ( CAD layouts are subject to a fee)
– Cost will be $350 to 1000 US dollars per fixture, depending on type and source, not including installation costs.
– Run time will be 10-14 hours per day, depending on crop, ambient light, etc.
