Ridder Light Restriction (RLR) Screens are essential tools for greenhouse growers to control light, energy, and climate. They provide a 99.5% reduction in light escape, preventing light pollution, protecting neighboring crops, and complying with regulations.
The screens are especially valuable as growers increasingly use supplemental lighting (LED, HPS, HID), which can otherwise cause environmental issues and energy inefficiencies. Their knitted structure allows moisture to pass through, helping maintain optimal climate conditions while preventing excessive humidity buildup. Made from durable PE foils and polyester yarn, RLR screens are designed for longevity and ease of handling.
The current model - RLR 99 FR W, offers significant energy savings—up to 51%—and high reflectivity to reduce heat and enhance light intensity from lamps, all while being flame-retardant for safety. For full blackout, Ridder offers the RBO 100 R FR W roll-up screen, which darkens facades and sides. RLR screens also support variable shading when combined with diffusion screens, allowing precise control over light intensity akin to a dimmer switch.
