Stogger's Innovative Approach to Sports Grass Maintenance
The Story of Stogger
Founded in 2014 by engineers Stefan Dorssers, Aubert Dupont, and Pieter Peeters, Stogger launched a groundbreaking wireless lighting project, earning recognition as one of the Netherlands' top innovative SMEs. The company has since grown to 28 members.
Innovative Turf Lighting
In 2022, Stogger started to work closely with MechaTronix to specialize in an advanced lighting solutions for turf care. Utilizing the high-tech industry expertise of both companies, Stogger now provides controlled, data-driven lighting to ensure optimal turf health and growth for sports clubs.
Innovative Lighting for Optimal Turf Pitch
Stogger's mission is not only to provide the right light for optimal turf pitch but also to make it steerable, controllable, and data-driven. Stogger introduced a cutting-edge Dynamic Light Spectrum Rigs system, engineered to foster the most natural grass growth possible.
Cutting-Edge DLS LED System
The DLS (Dynamic Light Spectrum) LED system , powered by MechaTronix LED grow lights, features upgradeable LED engines that deliver a dynamic, 3-channel light spectrum. Each channel can be individually controlled to mimic the natural progression of sunrise, midday, and sunset, creating optimal conditions for grass growth, effective rooting, and plant vitality. The LED modules are equipped with a passive heat pipe cooling system, ensuring maximum cooling efficiency. With a 90% LED efficiency output after 75,000 burning hours, Stogger's Dynamic Light Spectrum rigs are among the most efficient on the market.
Dynamic Light Spectrum
Gone are the days of simple on/off lighting. The dynamic light spectrum creates a natural cycle that gently wakes the plant and provides optimal stretching through the use of far-red light. This dynamic approach improves plant health, resulting in stronger, more resilient grass with better root growth.
The DLS LED system uses a combination of red, blue, and far-red (FR) light to benefit grass growth:
- Far-Red (FR): Promotes length growth and mimics the shadow effect, essential for early stages.
- Horti White (HW): Activates grass gently year-round, ensuring steady and healthy growth.
- Red (R5RB): Enhances plant health and extends growth.
Benefits for Grass
Healthy grass not only grows better but is also stronger and more resistant, with improved root development. The advanced LED technology ensures that sports clubs can maintain lush, robust turf throughout the year, providing an optimal playing surface for athletes.
Conclusion
Stogger's innovative approach to sports grass maintenance combines cutting-edge technology with a deep understanding of plant physiology. By delivering a steerable, controllable, and data-driven lighting solution using MechaTronix LED grow lights, Stogger helps sports clubs achieve superior grass growth and maintenance, setting a new standard in the industry.
