TotalGrow Lights

The grower stands at the doorstep of a new era in agriculture, where sunlight is no longer a necessity for growing crops. With the twist of a knob, the door of a once-desolate building opens to reveal a futuristic farm where thousands of vibrant greens flourish beneath the pink-purple glow of LED lamps. This remarkable transformation has been many years in the making, brought about by a conjunction of technological breakthroughs, but chief among them is the cutting-edge LED lighting technology by TotalGrow Lights.

A trusted name in the horticulture industry, TotalGrow develops electromagnetic spectrum-perfect and patented horticultural LED lighting technologies that enable gardeners to grow lush, flawless produce.

“Our lighting solutions are engineered for a grower’s unique operation. We focus on creating a facility that allows them to produce the highest yield of crops using an ideal amount of light, increasing the ROI of the farm,” elaborates Jeff Mastin, director of lighting science and products of TotalGrow Lights.

Leaning on its decade-long experience, TotalGrow has built strong relationships with key players in the horticultural industry, including growers, suppliers, reseller networks, and utility incentive partners. It works closely with growers to enhance their understanding of lighting intricacies and partners with utility companies to improve lighting metrics and standards and maximize energy-efficiency incentives. This helps customers reduce energy costs, lower expenses, and increase yields.

The lighting expert shares its expertise and resources with trustworthy partners, enabling growers to avoid farm pitfalls and surpass initial expectations. It connects them with affordable equipment upgrades like HVAC and dehumidification to help them create optimal growing conditions for their plants and identify opportunities to maximize incentives. This allows TotalGrow to provide adequate lighting plans and resources for success, enabling growers to flourish in their farming endeavors.

Its product line includes the lower powered Stratum series, featuring three power levels for different vertical operations, and various high-powered light bars in different shapes, powers, efficiencies, and spectra, meeting all grower needs without compromising uniformity, spectrum, or intensity. The products are certified, long-lasting, waterproof, and energy-efficient, reducing operational and labor costs. Customers also enjoy customization options like tailored light spectrums based on their goals, altered product shapes for their setup, and adjusted efficacies based on their energy costs and incentives.

TotalGrow Lights understands the importance of integration and streamlining processes for the cannabis industry. For larger-scale operations, it focuses on integrating its lighting equipment with the existing environmental control system, reducing the equipment a grower needs for monitoring. For smaller setups, TotalGrow provides equipment for timers, dimmers, and light sensors to control the lighting on its own, including wired connections and Bluetooth mesh connectivity.

In one instance, TotalGrow worked with an indoor cannabis grower who had started building their facility. It provided an ideal set of lights to complete their buildout while also acquiring for them retroactive incentives on other lights they previously installed and incentives on dehumidification systems and other equipment. Reimbursements received were almost double the new lights’ cost, enabling the grower to cover past expenses and fully cover the investment for the lights.

The customized luminaires benefit various clients, including university research projects and customers looking to optimize plant health more reliably and efficiently, or illuminate unique growing environments. Its background in custom optic development and advanced ray tracing modeling techniques has allowed it to create cost-effective and functional solutions for the most unusual challenges.

TotalGrow Lights is leading the charge in the horticultural LED lighting industry by providing simple, efficient, and costeffective solutions for indoor growers. Its focus on collaboration, education, and customer service is a testament to the industry that creates a brighter future for indoor vertical agriculture.
