Grow lights with separately dimmable deep-blue, green, red and far-red channels, so every growth phase gets its own light mix — paired with a free app where the community builds, shares and rates recipes.
Most grow lights shine one fixed spectrum, all season. Ours don't. Seedlings, leaves and flowers don't want the same light. So we split ours into channels — deep blue, green, red, far red — and give every growth phase its own mix.
Hardware, firmware and a mobile app — built end-to-end so they actually work together.
Most LED grow lights run one fixed white spectrum from seedling to harvest. Ours split the light into deep blue (~450 nm), true green, hyper red (~660 nm) and far red (~730 nm), each dimmable on its own, so every growth phase gets the mix it needs. Dimming runs at 20 kHz, so there is no visible flicker.
Pair a new light over Bluetooth — no switching your phone's WiFi, no QR codes taped to the back of the panel. The light checks your WiFi password before saving it. Once a schedule is set, it is stored on the light itself and keeps running while your phone is off.
Name, reboot, monitor and group every light from one screen. Starter adds device groups — control a whole rack with one set of sliders — and a web dashboard at app.plantaelight.com.
Firmware updates install over WiFi. Each update downloads over an encrypted connection, is checked before it is installed, and rolls back automatically if anything goes wrong. New recipes don't even need an update — they come straight from the app.
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.
One slider per light channel. Set the exact mix your plants want and watch the light change in real time. Free adjusts in 5% steps, Starter in 1% steps.
Pick from 21 ready-made 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.
Open any community recipe to see the full phase-by-phase plan — channel mix, 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.
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? It keeps going.
Starter 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.
In-app articles and tips, written in plain language, on what to grow and how.
Manage everything from any browser at app.plantaelight.com — included with Starter.
Once a schedule is set, it runs on the light itself — your phone can stay off.
The app speaks English and German today, with more languages to follow.
Every recipe can be published, copied, tweaked and shared again — rated by the growers who used it. The community builds the cookbook together.
A cookbook that gets better every harvest — written by the growers who choose to share.
Save someone's published recipe to your device in a tap. Tweak it for your tent, your tap water, your sun cycle — then share the new version back, or keep your tweak private. The cookbook grows from the recipes people choose to share.
The green check can't be bought. Growers with a public profile and at least five public recipes can apply, and our team reviews every application.
Sharing is opt-in. If you show your location, it is only a rough area of about 5 km — exact coordinates are never stored. Your devices never appear in the community.
Every ready-made recipe is split into growth phases — from germination to harvest. Copy one, tweak the channel mix, share it back. Drag the rail.
