Grow Lights for Leafy Greens

Leafy Greens is an encompassing term that applies to a variety of plants, including lettuce, microgreens, herbs, and specialty leafy vegetables. Leafy greens prefer cooler temperatures, making them a fall and winter crop. However, natural solar radiation is not optimal during these seasons resulting in longer production times. In addition to longer production, plants may become elongated and anthocyanins levels reduced. Without adequate light, growth related issues can become compounded.

LumiGrow Smart Horticultural LEDs correct low light issues while directing desirable growth characteristics. Precise management of light intensity and wavelength can maximize the economic efficiency of plant production, quality, and nutritional potential.

Grow Lights for Vine Crops

Vine Crops are some of the most prolific greenhouse produced crops in the world, with the top three being tomatoes cucumber, and sweet peppers.  Supplemental lighting is crucial for vine crop growers due to the high light needs of their crops.

LumiGrow LEDs provide multi-use utility for vine crop growers.  First, the luminaires efficiently provide optimal light levels for healthy crop production in dark seasons.  Second, the dynamic adjustability of our LEDs allows for control of desired crop characteristics.  Research and commercial production data has proven that increased yield, more control over growth rate, extended crop life, and higher quality vine crops are all possible with LumiGrow Smart Horticultural LEDs.

Grow Lights for Cannabis

Cannabis is a plant for which light (or dark) is a necessary component for inducing flowering. Cannabis will flower only when days are short as the plant’s chemical signal begins to accumulate. In nature, we see this happen during the fall. In a controlled production setting, grow lights can be used to manipulate this chemical signaling to better control crop growth rates, yield, and other characteristics.

Regardless of flower, vegetative, or mother growth stages, LumiGrow Smart Horticultural LEDs can be used successfully for vigorous plant growth and yields. Our spectrum maximizes energy output within the red and blue PAR ranges for the most efficient photosynthetic potential, as well as provides better canopy penetration and yield uniformity from the bottom of the plant to the top.

Grow Lights for Floriculture

The floriculture industry encompasses a wide variety of planting styles from bedding, to potted and cut flowers. Lighting needs vary based on species and production styles, however light remains an integral growth variable in production.

Low light conditions result in poor quality plants that show an increase in blindness, stretching and have smaller flowers with thinner stems. If plants are grown at excessively high light levels, leaf orientation will change to avoid the light and the plants may also develop “sunburn”.

LumiGrow Smart Horticultural LEDs address the importance of aesthetics and control for floriculture. Our dynamic LEDs allow for increased control over flowering times, quality, and robust growth.

Grow Lights for Speciality Crop

Plants use light for more than just photosynthesis. Light is used to control growth, signaling, metabolite accumulation, and other processes.

At a rudimentary level, low light conditions will result in poor quality plants because the plants lack sufficient energy. Conversely, plants grown at excessively high light levels can develop “sunburn”. Most commercial greenhouse crops are lit at moderate light levels to avoid these negative effects.

LumiGrow Smart Horticultural LEDs have dynamic control over intensity and spectrum so you can always target required light levels efficiently, while having the tools necessary to achieve quality and production goals demanded by the modern professional grower.

Grow Lights for Propogation

There are multiple methods used to propagate plants, but the goals remain the same. When using grow lights for plant propagation it’s important to produce uniform, compact, and high-value seedlings.

It’s important to control DLI to maintain adequate light intensities throughout propagation stages. Light intensity needs may vary throughout the growth cycle. By using LumiGrow Smart Horticultural LEDs it’s possible to increase intensity in respect to growth.

LumiGrow LEDs can be used to increase biomass by increasing photosynthesis, and use dynamic spectral control to speed or slow flowering times, influence compactness, improve quality, and reduce rooting and grafting times.

Grow Lights for Breeding

The needs of a plant breeder often differ from those of a commercial grower. At LumiGrow we’ve designed our solution to also address plant breeding requirements for producing the highest quality seedlings.

Research has shown that seedlings grown under LEDs generally are higher in quality than with traditional HID lighting. The low ambient heat of LumiGrow LEDs creates a safer and more controlled breeding environment with less risk of burning pollen. Plant breeders are currently using LumiGrow adjustable light spectra to better control flowering times and increase uniformity, creating a modern research space that’s more reliable and controlled.
