Each plantation layer at the facility has Philips GreenPower LEDs installed, that contain blue, red and far red LEDs and are designed and formulated specifically for growing crops, and allow for the fine tuning for tailor-made light treatment."

NO COBS FOR YOU!

Action Then, according Khyber on slashdot (where I found the press release):

"I love how slashdot sucks up to Philips advertising while forgetting their very own denizens that have been doing this LONG BEFORE Philips got into the game.

Let me tell you why the Philips system is a bad idea:

1. Of the Philips lighting I've tested - EVERY PIECE WAS FALSELY ADVERTISED. Under-specced in every aspect.
2. Of the Philips lighting I've had custom-specified - THEY STOLE MY LIGHTING BLENDS. Your heavy-blue lighting regimen for most leafy greens came directly from me, while everyone else was doing red-heavy lighting.
3. Philips has been trying to play the finance game with their lighting systems - dead giveaway to scams is when you need to finance something.
4. I've caught Philips fucking over two other clients so far, and I expect to find that they have fucked over several others as soon as that lighting that was sent to them gets shipped to me and dissected.

Do not get Philips LED lighting. They've been playing games with me and other people in the horticultural industry, stealing our ideas and designs."
