While greenhouse growers are starting to understand the yield, uniformity, and quality benefits of broad-spectrum lighting, they still face challenges in technology adoption. Fortunately, manufacturers have been quick to respond.

Cost, uncertainty, and a fear of the unknown are just some of the reasons growers are reluctant to switch to LEDs. However, there may be a change in thinking on the horizon.

With help from a lighting supplier, University of Florida researchers are exploring how the photosynthetic spectrum relates to an often overlooked element of cultivation: water-use efficiency.

This lighting solutions provider is looking to position itself as a multi-faceted supplier of tech-based plant solutions.

Is it time for an upgrade in lighting systems and components at your greenhouse? Here’s your chance to compare some of the newest products on the market, many of which are designed for versatility, easy management, and more.

Greenhouse Grower caught up with lighting industry veteran David Cohen, who says today’s LED technology offers great opportunities in horticulture.

Fluence Bioengineering is continuing to expand its in-house knowledge of greenhouse production with the hiring of Travis Higginbotham, formerly with Battlefield Farms, as its Director of Cultivation Support.

Fluence specializes in LED-based horticultural systems, using Osram LED chips, for a wide variety of applications, including vertical farming and greenhouses.

Big money and sexy technology may be hallmarks of this rapidly growing industry, but it still has some lessons to learn before it can feed the world.

Changing out your lighting system isn’t quite as easy as replacing a light bulb, but you’ll find the process a lot smoother with this advice from lighting manufacturers and researchers.

Deciding the best lighting system for your greenhouse — whether you’re growing ornamentals, vegetables, herbs, or something else — can be challenging. Here’s a close look at some of the latest lighting options on the market, and how you can determine whether they are a good fit for your operation.

Shenandoah Growers, a Virginia-based organic herbs producer, is finding that its investment in LEDs has increased production and improved plant quality.

Fluence Bioengineering recently produced two videos in which growers in the U.S. and overseas describe why they switched lighting systems.
