The USDA has reported* that exposure to light causes mushrooms to increase Vitamin D production — boosting their nutritional value and giving growers the opportunity to gain a competitive edge in today's health-conscious marketplace.
XENON's Pulsed Lamps offer the industry’s fastest, most effective way to enhance Vitamin D in mushrooms.
Why XENON’s lamps are the right choice.
Some mushroom growers have tried continuous mercury UV light to spur Vitamin D growth. But those lights contain mercury and require long exposure times of up to 20 minutes. XENON’s lamps, on the other hand, use a patented pulsed light technology to deliver a high burst of energy that works in just seconds.
• You save energy costs and keep your processing lines moving.
• XENON’s Pulsed Lamps come closer to duplicating real sunlight.
• They contain no mercury so they're environmentally safe.
Give your mushrooms an advantage on the store shelf — with XENON’s lamps!
