Light Systems proudly marks 45 years of service as a premium North American manufacturer of commercial horticultural lighting solutions, celebrating more than four decades of specialized experience stimulating, supporting, and sustaining growth in the controlled environment agriculture (CEA) industry. Light Systems standard for supplemental horticultural lighting and laid the foundation for a company built on engineering rigor, manufacturing quality, and long-term grower partnerships", Todd recalls.
In 2012, anticipating the growing role of energy-efficient lighting in CEA, P.L. "As the industry has steadily shifted toward LED, Pwe intentionally engineered our LED luminaires to support straightforward 1:1 replacement, simplifying retrofits and minimizing disruption for CEA operators." This dual-technology expertise—spanning decades of HPS innovation and more than a decade of LED development—gives P.L.
Why this matters: This matters when it gives operators a clearer way to manage water, nutrients, and root-zone risk. That kind of control usually improves both resource efficiency and crop consistency.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should growers evaluate before changing a lighting strategy?
They should look at crop type, canopy structure, current light distribution, energy cost, expected yield gain, and whether the new strategy improves whole-canopy efficiency.
Why is light distribution often as important as light quantity?
Because adding more photons to already saturated leaves does less work than improving how light reaches the parts of the canopy that are still underperforming.
