Heliospectra, a Swedish horticulture LED lighting solution provider and AIPH Affiliate Member, explains how its smart LED lighting technology and precision growing maximise energy savings and plant growth. Rebecca Nordin, Heliospectra’s Chief Commercial Officer and Head of IR tells FCI more.

Imagine a greenhouse where lighting adapts seamlessly to the needs of plants, optimising energy consumption without compromising growth. Heliospectra has turned this vision into reality with its high-quality LED lights, equipped with wireless dimming capabilities and integrated sensors, all managed through its innovative helioCORE software.

“Heliospectra’s approach is rooted in creating a lighting strategy that is efficient, intelligent and adaptable,” says Heliospectra’s Rebecca Nordin. The helioCORE software ensures optimal plant growth by automatically adjusting and dimming LED lights based on factors such as natural light levels, fluctuating energy costs, and the efficacy of the light itself. By avoiding using the lights when not needed and prioritising the use of lamps when energy costs are at their lowest, growers can significantly reduce operational expenses.
