Professional crop-lighting guidance for commercial growers Plan a project
From crop target to operating plan

Hortilux project services connect design intent with the canopy

A commercial grow-light project is a chain of decisions: crop morphology, target DLI, facility geometry, photoperiod, electrical capacity, controls and commissioning. Our service path keeps those dependencies visible so procurement teams, growers and engineers can make the same decision from the same evidence.

A continuous project thread

01

Crop brief translation

We turn crop stage, target PPFD and photoperiod into a defined lighting question. The discussion includes existing daylight, bench or row dimensions, desired DLI contribution and practical access for cleaning or replacement.

02

Layout and uniformity review

Fixture count alone cannot predict a successful canopy. We review mounting geometry, edge losses and obstructions, then frame average PPFD together with minimum-to-average uniformity so localized excess does not disappear inside one headline number.

03

Electrical coordination

Input voltage, circuit loading, driver behavior, inrush current and dimming interface are organized for the electrical team. This reduces late substitutions that change photon output or compromise control zoning.

04

Controls commissioning

Schedules, dimming limits and zone names are documented around real cultivation routines. Operators receive an understandable baseline that can evolve with crop feedback rather than an opaque automation sequence.

05

Handover and optimization

After installation, measured light levels can be compared with the plan. The review distinguishes commissioning adjustments from agronomic experimentation and gives facility teams a traceable starting point for future crop cycles.

Decisions we make easier to verify

DLIlinked to operating hours

IPconsidered with washdown exposure

Values are established per project rather than promised as universal outcomes. This distinction matters: a target at one mounting height, crop architecture or reflection condition cannot simply be copied into another room. By keeping inputs explicit, a grower can see what changed when a revised layout, schedule or luminaire is proposed.
