Italian lighting manufacturer C-LED, the horticultural lighting division of Cefla, used GreenTech Amsterdam 2026 to showcase its latest vertical farming lamp, a model the company says was developed specifically for multi-layer applications and has already been deployed at scale in a fully automated Italian facility.
"Vertical farming is always looking for efficiency, specific spectra and multi-channel control, and better heat dissipation with an external driver," said Rafaello Montanari, describing the priorities behind the company's vertical farming development.
The lamp launched roughly a year ago and remains a relatively new addition to C-LED's range, which spans micropropagation lab lighting, vertical farm lamps, high-efficiency fixtures and artificial lighting for greenhouses. Despite its short time on the market, the fixture has already been used in a large automated vertical farm project involving thousands of units, located in northern Italy. Montanari noted that a second Italian client is now beginning production using the same system, having only recently moved from planning into an operational phase.
Montanari described the response to the lamp as strong, attributing the company's traction to its position in the mid-size segment of the market, rather than competing directly at the high end. The company suggested this positioning has helped it build credibility with growers moving from smaller installations toward larger, more automated operations.
Reflecting on this year's GreenTech compared to previous editions, Montanari said this year's visitors were of a noticeably higher quality, meaning more serious, decision-ready buyers. The company also pointed to a broader shift in what buyers are looking for on the show floor. Rather than evaluating standalone products, more conversations centred on turnkey solutions and the integration of different technologies into a single system, a trend C-LED said it expects to continue shaping the vertical farming and CEA sectors going forward.
