Description

Michael Cardenas and Jason Green from Heilux, Creators of LumaFilm® and GrowFilm® Brands of Products are this week's guest experts on The GATE. They share how a jewelry story light found it's way into agriculture and is now used by greenhouses, vertical farms, and even by home growers. It's used by growers of food and cannabis alike, because according to Peter, "a plant, is a plant, is a plant".  


The lighting industry continues to evolve and grow. In this discussion we cover many of the different factors influencing the industry, from new government regulations requiring all horticulture be lit with LEDs to new technology raising questions about adjustable spectrum vs full spectrum lights. If you are new to lighting (like Michelle) or friends with all the lighting professors (like Peter) you will gain a better understanding of lighting and how it can impact your farm, greenhouse, or business.
