What We Do
Our Features
what Working with the University of Minnesota and lighting experts, Sun Spectrum Technologies has created a Tunable LED Lighting System that allows growers to “tune” to any light spectrum to meet individual plant needs. This includes everything from micro-greens to flowering plants during their entire maturity cycle.
Low Cost Lighting Solutions
Sun Spectrum lights offer an efficient, cost-effective solution that can reduce lighting expenses by up to 50%.
Wake Up Plants Faster
Saves Energy
Unique Benefits of Tunable Grow Lights
Using Samsung Ag Diodes, SUN’s patented 4-circuit tunable light is capable of creating almost any spectrum needed to grow almost anything – and is controlled with a programmable IoT Digital Cloud-Based system.
• Start the early growth of each plant by dialing in more blue light early in the growth cycle.
• Gradually shift the spectrum to include more red lighting as the plant starts to mature.
• Increase far red lighting for the last 10 minutes of each day to gain larger leaves and improve taste and/or flowering.

Advantages of R&L System (Rotational & Lateral)
This system allows for alternating lighting between opposite-facing rows. The grow light panels rotate to light the first row, and then after 12 hours (or designated time) it rotates to light the second row while the first row is sleeping. Our R&L systems are designed to be built to the custom lengths that are needed for each grow center.
The lateral system reduces the distance of lights to plants increasing efficacy while still allowing good access to the plants for harvesting.
Dr. John Erwin, on emulating the characteristics of the Sun.
The growing of plants is truly “just science” as Dr. John Erwin, now Professor and Chair of the Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture at the University of Maryland, once told me many years ago. When asked what is the best light for plants, his advice was to mimic the SUN which has successfully been growing plants for millions of years (much easier said than done). However, with Sun Spectrum Lighting Equipment and Solutions, our tunable spectrum allows a grower to mimic the ever-changing spectrum of the sun in a controlled and constant manner.
