Stadium Grow Lights in Australia

Gilba Solutions are turf agronomists and sports turf consultants. We are the experts in turf grow lights in Australia and are the agents for SeeGrow Stadium grow lights.

SeeGrow is the world leader in turf grass lighting solutions and turf fans. SeeGrow units are designed specifically for turf grass in shade and golf course turf. Comm Bank Stadium is the first venue in Australia to use turf grass-specific LED grow lights in 2020.

US research shows that ryegrass needs a Daily Light Integral (DLI) of around 23 for optimum turf quality. Even though ryegrass survives at DLIs as low as 10, in a high-use situation DLIs this low limit recovery.

The 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) aims to improve energy efficiency across the USA, and similar legislation is likely to occur in Australia. States across the USA are beginning to include HPS Grow Lights in their efficiency targets with an aim to phase them out.

The SeeGrow LED14 avoids the limitations in growth that occur with limited carbon dioxide

SeeGrow Stadium Grow Lights:

These Stadium Grow Lights use up to 80% less power vs HPS light rigs. In 2022 work, Etienne Abélard and Christophe Galbrun state that despite their initial high cost, LED grow lights are the best choice as a light source.
LED lights are energy efficient.
LED turf grow lights last up to 50,000 hours. In contrast, HPS bulbs last only 16,000 hours.
Over 24 hours you get an increase of up to 10mm in shoot and root growth.
SeeGrow lights are easy to manoeuvre, and have a small storage footprint. This means that is storage is limited these are a great option.
SeeGrow Stadium grow lights have an inbuilt irrigation system and heater. The heater does not affect the light spectrum.
With the use of purpose-built LED turf grow lights, the turf gets what it needs rather than what the light emits.
Each individual LED diode emits light of a specific colour spectrum. This light spectrum means that you can adjust and customise LED turf grow lights in a way that’s impossible to achieve with other grow light technologies.
As they do not give out massive amounts of heat, you can use SeeGrow Stadium grow lights with no damage to the existing turf.
LED lights give a significant germination and growth response if you seed with cool or warm season grass.
