The Importance of Light

The demand for horticulture products has never been higher with growing populations, rising food prices and the desire for fresh, organic, all year-round crops.

The rapidly exponential growth of horticultural indoor farming is due to increased modern requirements and demands. It gives growers control of year-round crops that are not affected by weather conditions and at times, extreme temperatures.
