Under Canopy Grow Lights

Under canopy grow lights are supplemental lighting systems designed to provide light to the lower parts of plants, such as stems, lower leaves, and developing fruits. Unlike traditional grow lights that shine from above, these lights are positioned underneath or within the plant canopy to ensure that every part of the plant receives adequate light.

Benefits of Under Canopy Grow Lights

Under canopy grow lights work by emitting targeted light to the lower parts of plants, ensuring even light distribution. They penetrate dense foliage, stimulating photosynthesis in shaded areas, promoting healthy growth, and improving yields in indoor and vertical gardening setups.

  • Improved Light Penetration : Enhance light distribution to the lower parts of the plant, promoting even growth.
  • Increased Yields : Stimulate growth in underutilized areas of the plant, resulting in higher yields.
  • Healthier Plants: Prevent lower leaves from yellowing due to lack of light, ensuring overall plant health.
  • Optimized Photosynthesis : Boost the efficiency of photosynthesis by providing light to areas that don’t typically receive direct exposure.

What Growers Are Saying?

Grade‑A Across the Board

I use a 10,000-square-foot indoor facility with 40 flowering tables, reducing B-grade buds from 20% to under 7%, resulting in an extra 14lbs of top-shelf flower per run.

Weight Up, One‑Pass Harvest

I'm a craft grower using six 4x8s with under-canopy lighting, adding 30% yield and achieving uniformity in harvesting, with lowers finishing the same day as tops.

Desert Grow, Big Jump

An 8-bench rec facility in the desert increased yields by 25-30% due to increased light, but increased humidity. Adjusting dehumidifiers and dropping feed EC improved fall colors.

Use Cases

Icon 1

Vertical Farming

Under canopy lights in vertical farming provide balanced illumination across tiers, stimulating uniform growth and optimizing yield in multi-level systems.

Icon 2

Indoor Living Walls & Architectural Green Screens

Hidden LED strips gently light shaded lower wall tiers, preserving uniform foliage, reducing bald spots and humidity issues for vibrant installations.

Icon 3

Fruit and Flower Development

Under canopy lights promote fruit and flower development by illuminating lower plant regions, enhancing photosynthesis, stimulating growth, and boosting yield.

Why Choose Under Canopy Grow Lights?

Investing in under canopy grow lights remarkably enhances plant vitality and yields by delivering illumination to lower foliage. Suitable for vertical farming, hydroponics, and dense gardens, these efficient, easy-to-install lights ensure uniform growth, optimized photosynthesis, and fruit and flower development. Experience enhanced productivity and reduced energy costs with this smart, reliable solution.

FAQs

Are under canopy grow lights necessary for all plants? arrow icon
They are particularly beneficial for dense plants or those with large canopies that block light from reaching lower sections.
Can I use regular LED lights as under canopy lights? arrow icon
While regular LEDs may work, grow-specific LEDs provide the ideal spectrum and intensity for plant growth.
How much energy do under canopy lights consume? arrow icon
LED options are highly energy-efficient, typically consuming less power compared to traditional lighting systems.
Do under canopy grow lights increase the risk of pests or mold? arrow icon
When properly installed and ventilated, under canopy lights can help reduce excess moisture and prevent mold growth.
How do I know if my plants need under canopy lighting? arrow icon
If you notice yellowing or stunted growth in the lower parts of your plants, under canopy lighting may be beneficial.
