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.
