Ledgnd, the brand-independent expert in light and data integration for greenhouse horticulture, is launching the integration of the newly launched Aranet light spectrum sensor into its data platform MyLedgnd during GreenTech Amsterdam. It helps growers to optimise lighting strategies based on real-time spectrum data.
Aranet, a brand of SAF Tehnika, is launching the Light Spectrum sensor at GreenTech Amsterdam 2025. The device delivers real-time spectral data across the 350 to 950 nanometer range and provides significantly broader analysis than standard PAR sensors. At the same event, Ledgnd will unveil the integration of the new Light Spectrum sensor into the MyLedgnd platform, offering growers intuitive data visualisation and control capabilities. This seamless integration allows users to optimise their lighting strategies based on detailed insights into both light intensity and color spectrum.
Research has shown that each crop requires its own unique light color mix. With this sensor, growers gain insight into the actual light their crops are receiving. Using the data from the sensor and the further processing within the MyLedgnd platform, growers can fine-tune their lighting strategy. With rising energy prices and a growing drive for sustainability, more growers are switching to LED lighting. While this transition requires an initial investment, it also results in significant energy savings. However, simply installing LED lights is not enough to achieve optimal results. MyLedgnd offers growers a practical and user-friendly way to visualise their greenhouse data. It provides a clear picture of different climate factors and their impact on crops, enabling growers to optimise their cultivation strategy accordingly.
