Engineered between the US & Germany · Shipping across the EU

The future is bright.

Selective-spectrum grow lights that emit only the wavelengths plants actually consume — radically more efficient than the full-spectrum norm — paired with a free iOS & Android app where the community builds, shares and rates recipes.

01 The thesis

Most grow lights are full-spectrum. We are not. Plants reflect green — that's why they look green. The rest of the industry pays the electric bill for that anyway. We emit only the wavelengths chlorophyll asks for, and nothing else.

02 The technology

Selective. Not full-spectrum.

Hardware, firmware and a mobile app — built end-to-end so they actually work together.

/01

Selective spectrum, not full

Most LED grow lights flood plants with white light, then plants reflect roughly 90% of the green back into the room — so the rest of the industry is paying the electric bill for it. We measured chlorophyll absorption, then engineered fixtures that only emit the wavelengths plants actually consume. Every watt becomes growth.

Setup in under a minute

Pair a new fixture over Bluetooth — no WiFi switching, no QR codes taped to the back of the panel. Once paired, schedules run on the device itself, even when your phone is off or the internet goes down.

  • SetupBLE first
  • OfflineYes
  • Direct controlBLE / WiFi
/03

Multi-device dashboard

Name, reboot, monitor and group every light from one screen. Pro adds device groups — control a whole rack with one set of sliders — and a web dashboard at app.plantaelight.com.

FW v 04.7

Smarter after you buy it

Firmware updates ship over the air. New recipes, new wavelengths added to the driver, new sensor calibrations, new languages — your hardware quietly improves while it sits on the shelf.

03 The app

One dial. Or none at all.

Pick a recipe, build your own, or copy one from another grower. The app runs day-by-day so you can stop reading absorption charts and start eating tomatoes.

/01

Live spectrum control

One slider per wavelength. Adjust the exact emission profile your plants want, watch the light change in real time, and let Pro apply every change with 1% precision. New wavelengths arrive over the air as we add them.

  • Live preview — every change applies instantly on Pro.
  • Add wavelengths via firmware updates as they ship.
  • One dial brightness for the whole fixture.
/02

Build, share, copy & rate

Pick from 23 built-in recipes, or write your own from scratch. Publish it to the community, and see it copied, tweaked and rated. Or — fork someone else's recipe and make it yours.

  • Custom recipes with phase-by-phase wavelength curves (Pro).
  • Copy a friend's recipe and tweak it without breaking theirs.
  • Five-star ratings surface the recipes that actually work.
/03

Save it, grow it, fork it

Open any community recipe to see the full phase-by-phase plan — wavelengths, PPFD targets, day/night durations. One tap to save, mark "I grew it", or fork it into your own collection and tweak without breaking the original.

  • Five-star ratings surface the recipes that actually work.
  • Fork keeps the lineage — credit travels with the recipe.
  • "I grew it" tags become real signal for growers like you.
/04

Groups & schedules that run themselves

Bundle a whole rack of fixtures into a single group and control them with one set of sliders — every fixture stays in lockstep. Then assign a schedule, and the recipe plays day-by-day, phase-by-phase, with day/night cycles baked in. Phone off? Internet down? It doesn't care.

  • Group unlimited fixtures into named racks (Pro).
  • Schedules execute on the device — no cloud round-trip.
  • Phase tracker shows where you are in the lifecycle.

Same app, bigger screen

Pro unlocks app.plantaelight.com — the full PlantaeLight experience in any browser. Manage every fixture, edit recipes, drive sliders live, all from your laptop while the firmware does the actual work.

04 Community

Verified growers. Top-rated recipes.

Browse the recipes the community trusts most — each one rated, copied, tweaked and rated again by growers who actually shipped a harvest.

Top-rated recipes

Sort by rating, by uses, by yield. The cream rises — and the recipes that don't actually work get filtered out fast.

Verified growers

The blue check is earned, not bought. Growers verify by shipping at least one full lifecycle — and keeping their average rating above 4.5.

Privacy by default

Sharing is opt-in, location is fuzzed to ~1 km, and your devices never appear in the community feed unless you publish them.

05 Recipes

Twenty-three plants. And every grower's remix.

Every built-in recipe is structured into growth phases — germination, vegetation, flowering, harvest. Copy one, tweak the wavelength curve, share it back. Drag the rail.

Tomato

Tomato

Red-dominant emission with a far-red boost during flowering for fruit set.

Basil

Basil

Bright, blue-leaning emission to keep leaves compact and aromatic.

Peppers

Peppers

Slow vegetative phase, then a long, warm flowering arc tuned for capsaicin.

Strawberries

Strawberries

Day-neutral cycle, gentle far-red pulse to coax flowering year-round.

Cucumbers

Cucumbers

High photon flux during vegetation; classic 16/8 day-night to push climbing growth.

Microgreens

Microgreens

A two-week sprint. Cool blue, almost no red — just enough to germinate and stop.

+17

And seventeen more

Lettuce, cabbages, cannabis, ornamentals — and counting.
