New Product: Plant-adaptive Dynamic LED Lighting System
March 4, 2025 
Plants use light differently throughout the day and growth stages. Measuring these changes helps optimize lighting, reducing costs while ensuring quality and yield.
Sollum Technologies, a horticultural lighting manufacturer, and Leaficient, a CEA ag tech developer, have partnered to develop the first closed-loop, plant-adaptive dynamic LED lighting system that adjusts lighting in real time based on plant productivity and growth rates.
The combined Sollum-Leaficient solution leverages Leaficient’s plant monitoring technology to measure photosynthetic efficiency and adjust light intensity accordingly. This closed-loop approach ensures that plants receive the exact amount of light they need, when they need it, eliminating unnecessary energy costs and optimizing growth conditions for different crop varieties.
“The future of horticultural lighting isn’t just about delivering more light—it’s about delivering the right light at the right time,” says Brian Stancil, co-founder and CEO of Leaficient. “By focusing on real-time plant productivity rather than static lighting schedules, we’re not just improving efficiency—we’re transforming how growers manage their crops.”
The collaboration between Sollum and Leaficient marks the first plant-aware dynamic LED lighting system that aims to maximize yield and sustainability. Beyond optimizing lighting efficiency, this innovation will enable precise control over crop development—triggering fruiting and flowering at optimal times or even enhancing specific nutrient and flavor profiles.
