Programmable Spectrum LEDs 'Revolutionize Cannabis Cultivation'

Revolution Micro claims that its Avici 1500 LED breaks industry records with high energy efficiency, the longest rated life, the most flexible spectrum, and the highest output of any high power horticultural LED.

Programmable Spectrum LEDs open up a whole new world of possibilities to cannabis cultivators. They can be used to mimic seasons and shorten harvests to increase the number of cycles per year. They can control plant architecture, using plants’ natural response to blue to shorten internodal spacing for stocky plants or using red to encourage reaching. They can influence terpene profiles to grow a more flavorful, aromatic crop or to boost cannabinoid content for a high THC content. They can even influence the color of the bud by using shorter wavelength (bluer) light to trigger anthocyanin production which give the buds more purple, red, and pink tones.

The Avici series is also environmentally friendly and reduces overall facility costs with its high efficacy. At 2.06 - 3.8 uMole/J, depending on spectrum, the Avici lights a room to HPS brightness with thirty percent less light. That’s also thirty percent less heat, which leads to less air conditioning needs and overall reduces the electrical consumption of facilities by 40% compared to HPS.

That’s a reduced carbon footprint in addition to the reliable, future-proof lights that will stay out of the landfill far longer than other LEDs.
