The ROI of LED Lighting for CEA Growers: Budgeting for a Smart Retrofit in 2026
One of the most impactful investments in 2026 is retrofitting with LED horticultural lighting — but understanding the true ROI requires more than comparing energy bills.
Understanding Life Expectancy (L90B5) in Horticultural Lighting
Life expectancy rating of a horticultural lighting luminaire is one of the most important—but often misunderstood—factors to evaluate.
CEA Lighting Upgrades: What’s the Right Solution for your Facility?
CEA lighting upgrades could mean switching from HPS to LED luminaires. What’s the right solution for your facility?
Are you lighting for optimum yields?
How do you achieve the highest yields with your lighting system? As we know, increasing light intensity up to a certain species-specific point results in a corresponding increase in yield. When light levels are not optimized for production or the type of crop you are growing, you have slower flowering, poor root development and plant […]
What to Know When you are Transitioning from HPS to LED
Many growers are looking to switch from HID technology (HPS and MH luminaires) over to LEDs for increased energy savings, reduced heat output, longer lifespan, and greater spectral efficiencies. While LEDs can offer many advantages over HIDs, there are several things a grower should know before jumping in. Since LEDs can cost 2-3 times more than HID luminaires, knowing how to manage costs and […]
Light Uniformity – Comparing LED and HPS Luminaires
Light Uniformity – Comparing HID and LED luminaires Light uniformity is an important factor when it comes to growing a consistent crop and optimizing your growing environment, however, there has been some misinformation about the way HID and LED luminaires distribute light and affect plant health. As a manufacturer of both HID and LED […]
