Client: AstroSpace®/Agile Spectrum®

Our Agile Spectrum® LED Grow Light (ASLEDGL), designed under similar rigorous requirements as those we apply to our space and defense applications, has eight separate, individually controlled channels that allow the user to adjust the spectrum of the light output, to virtually any requirement. In addition to these eight channels, the lights can be run in a continuous current (DC) mode or a pulse width modulated (PWM) mode, in which the frequency of modulation is fully adjustable from one to 1000 hertz, and dimming from 0 to 100% of current. The ASLEDGL provides a stable and reliable light source for applications ranging from botanical research to greenhouse use.
