Hemp producer makes the switch from HPS no dynamic LED lighting

Having recently gained their first client in the cannabis industry, Sollum has now been selected by Innovagro, their first client in the hemp industry. Facing similar challenges and pressures as experienced with cannabis production, Innovagro has made the decision to switch from more conventional high-pressure sodium (HPS) and metal halide (MH) fixtures to dynamic LEDs to better control light spectrum and intensity.

Sollum wins its first client in the hemp industry with hemp producer Innovagro who makes the switch from HPS to Sollum’s dynamic LED lighting solution in their high-end performance greenhouses.

With customers in skin products, cosmetics and therapeutic sectors, Innovagro is a testament to the versatility and diverse applications of hemp products. Based in Sainte-Sophie, Québec (Canada), Innovagro's greenhouses boast high-performance technology while operating with sustainability and ethical production as guiding values. In this context, the conversion to Sollum's fully dynamic grow light solution from the company's current use of HPS and MH fixtures, which possess significant limitations, makes great sense.

Sollum Technologies designed the only 100% dynamic LED lighting solution that modulates the full spectrum of the Sun's natural light to illuminate closed environments such as greenhouses, research centers and laboratories. Sollum's award-winning, turnkey solution consists of internet of things, AI-powered light fixtures that are controlled by Sollum's proprietary SUN as a Service® cloud platform.
