Powerful. Precise. Proven.

As leafy green and herb growers face seasonal light limitations such as short days and low light levelsas well as tight margins, and the need for consistent year-round quality, Heliospectra provides innovative, research-backed LED lighting solutions that help you take control—improving yields, plant health, and operational flexibility. 

Why LED lighting for
Leafy Greens & herbs?

Leafy greens and herbs require precise environmental control to maintain flavor, texture, and shelf life. Heliospectra’s tunable LEDs and smart control systems, gives you just another tool to control your plant growth, you can: 

lettuce

Enhance aroma, flavor, and visual appeal

Stimulate essential oil production and boost pigmentation to meet growing consumer expectations for freshness and quality.

Speed up cycles, even in low-light seasons

Supplemental light supports steady production and shorter growth times year-round — without sacrificing crop uniformity.

Tailor growth with spectrum and intensity

For herbs, adjusting the balance of red, blue, and green light influences biomass, stretch, and structure. Compact crops reduce the need for growth regulators, while our broad spectrum 4-channel lamps (no FR, high blue, high green) promote strong, healthy plants with low MRL levels.

For lettuce, our 4-channel lamps with FR support dense centers, reduce glassiness, and improve foliage coverage. A late blue boost helps harden leaves, enhance nutrients, and improve flavor. High output across all major spectra ensures reliable results.

Improve resilience and reduce waste

End-of-production light strategies help strengthen plants for transport, improve shelf life, and minimize losses post-harvest.

The science behind the light

Backed by nearly two decades of plant research, Heliospectra’s lighting solutions combine proven spectral strategies with advanced control technologies to deliver measurable results in leafy green and herb cultivation:
