After fully achieving the carbon neutral goal in September 2020, the global lighting leader Signify immediately launched the 2025 sustainable development goal of "Bright Life, Better World", aiming to double its environmental and social contributions by 2025.
Among them, under the guidance of "United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3-Good Health and Well-being" and "United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11-Sustainable Cities and Communities", Signify promises to adopt food supply, safety and protection, and health and well-being. And other projects, double the income related to "Shiny Life" to 32%, and improve social well-being.
In order to cope with the rising population and the increasing demand for food supply, Signify focused on the aquaculture field and developed a series of lighting equipment to promote the improvement of the output and quality of the artificial aquaculture industry. At present, the aquaculture lighting equipment developed by Signify has been widely used in the industry and has become the trusted choice of aquaculture industry practitioners.
Create sustainable aquaculture solutions and significantly increase the output of aquatic products
As we all know, light is very important for the growth of fish schools. Through light, fish can not only determine the location of surrounding fish and food, but also determine the time and season. However, it is a huge challenge for aquaculture companies to provide suitable light for fish in large and ultra-deep water tanks and the constantly changing water environment.
As the first company to provide LED products for the aquaculture industry, Signify uses long-term and in-depth research and obvious first-mover advantages to target the difficulties of aquaculture lighting and launch Philips aquaculture photoperiod LED lighting products. High-yield development contributes to the development.
Signify uses specially designed optical equipment to evenly distribute light in the entire water tank to avoid unlit areas. At the same time, the electronic components inside the luminaire can simulate the light effects of sunrise and sunset, creating a normal day and night alternate ecological environment, and helping the fish maintain their breeding ability.
In addition, the growth light provides the best light formula for the water tank. Adequate light can improve visibility and help fish growing in the ultra-deep water tank to confirm the location of food and companions, thereby reducing the survival pressure of the fish school and improving the feed conversion rate. Let the fish grow in the best condition.
Currently, Kingfish, the world's first sustainable yellowtail aquaculture company, has installed Signify's Philips aquaculture photoperiod LED lighting products. This product provides energy-saving and high-efficiency lighting for Kingfish's large water tanks, increasing the yellowtail production by 30% compared to the expected value.
Develop new types of solar aquaculture lights to promote the high-quality development of the marine industry
In order to contribute to the 2025 Sustainable Development Goal of "Bright Life, Better World", Signify also launched a new Philips solar aquaculture light in April this year, continuing to deepen the value of lighting equipment in the aquaculture field.
It is reported that Philips solar aquaculture lights use clean solar panels and LED light sets to optimize the operation of the lamps. Only one lamp is needed for every 100 to 150 square meters of pond surface. When in use, the lamps are placed equidistantly in the pond and connected to the center line or interconnected by ropes to maintain stability.
The solar aquaculture lamp can provide targeted lighting for a variety of fish including tilapia, and help aquaculture enterprises to increase production and efficiency. In a commercial-scale experiment conducted by the South China Agricultural University, Philips solar aquaculture lights were proven to increase the growth rate of fish by 10% and reduce the feed required per kilogram of fish by 10%.
In fact, lighting conditions have a very complex effect on the growth and development of fish, and many factors such as light intensity and distribution, light spectrum and light quality, daily and seasonal changes in the photoperiod, etc. need to be considered. How to reduce operating costs and maintain stable output while ensuring high-quality farmed fish is undoubtedly full of challenges.
Signify has developed a very durable Philips aquaculture lighting product through close cooperation with top universities and research institutes, which is easy to install while ensuring the effect. At the same time, solar aquaculture lights have the advantages of being environmentally friendly and no carbon dioxide emissions, which can well contribute to the sustainable development of the aquaculture industry.
Persist in sustainable development and create a "shiny life, a better world"
As a global model enterprise in the field of energy saving and emission reduction, Signify has always insisted on providing customers with high-quality and energy-saving lighting products, systems and services, and continuously promotes the sustainable development of the environment and society. It can be said that the concept of sustainable development has been throughout the development of Signify.
In the field of aquaculture, which is closely related to the protection of people’s livelihood, Signify continues to enhance its independent R&D and innovation capabilities, and develops Philips aquaculture photoperiod LED lighting products, Philips solar aquaculture lights and other products, empowering customers to achieve aquaculture quality, efficiency and service Comprehensive improvement, so as to better respond to the global food chain supply challenges, and create more well-being for the society.
In the future, Signify will rely on the world's leading technology and strong innovative strength in the lighting field, adhere to the development strategy and goals of sustainable development, and inject more momentum into the sustainable development of society through energy-saving technologies and other low-carbon measures. The power of "Shining life, beautiful world".
