New lighting innovations, including dynamic LEDs and AI controls, help growers adapt faster and save energy.
What counts as “new” in greenhouse lighting is always shifting. A few years ago, LEDs were the headline. Today, the conversation has moved to dynamic spectrum control, artificial intelligence (AI), and even under-canopy or pulsed LEDs.
As with most technology, adoption spans a wide spectrum. Some growers are running cloud-based subscription systems that automate every lighting need. Others still walk in each morning, flip the switch, and listen to their high-pressure sodium lights hum to life.
In the end, what’s new depends on the system you’re currently using.
