LumiGrow Starts Pilot Program for Grow Light Sensor

LumiGrow recently started a pilot program for its horticultural grow light sensor. The grow light sensor works in tandem with LumiGrow LEDs to target the precise amount of light that a plant receives. By specifying precise light levels, greenhouse crops can experience perfect lighting conditions regardless of changes in weather or other light-limiting factors, according to the company.

The LumiGrow Grow Light Sensor works with the LumiGrow SmartPAR Wireless Control System, a cloud-based software that allows growers to schedule changes in light intensity and spectrum by zone. The sensor measures how much of the sun’s light enters the greenhouse, then feeds this information into the SmartPAR System to automatically adjust LumiGrow LEDs and manage precise light levels inside the greenhouse.

“Greenhouse lighting that adjusts with the sun’s intensity has potentially huge benefits towards increasing electrical efficiency and cost savings”, said LumiGrow CEO Shami Patel.

The LumiGrow Grow Light Sensor is a pilot product aimed at redefining how growers use and think about light, according to LumiGrow.
