BLV is a brand of the Ushio Group +49(0)8094/906-0 |sales@ushio.de APPLICATIONS REFERENCES DOWNLOADS COMPANY CONTACT Home/About us Specialist lighting solutions for horticulture and sports facilities BLV is an independent brand of the Ushio Group, produced and distributed under the umbrella of Ushio Germany GmbH since 1 February 2021. BLV has been an established name in the field of horticulture and sports facility lighting and enjoys a worldwide reputation. The BLV HORTURION® and BLV STATURION® lamp series have been manufactured exclusively at the company’s site in Steinhöring, Germany, as well as at the own, ultra-modern production facility at its sister company Ushio Poland, which was inaugurated in 2017. However, the BLV brand does not only stand for high-quality lamps. Close customer contact, scenario comparisons, light calculations, support with yield plans, project installations and sustainable after-sales support are all part of the service portfolio. Besides the development, production and sales sites in Germany and Poland, the BLV brand is distributed via an office in Oude Meer, the Netherlands, and a global sales force. In-house research & development center 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. Ushio Germany GmbH, research and development center 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.
