Unlocking the Full Power of LED Lighting Controls

Kasey Holland discusses how DesignLights Consortium's Horticultural Qualified Products List helps growers fine-tune their lighting controls.

As a greenhouse grower, you already understand the power of sunlight. But what if you could fine-tune that light — by spectrum, intensity, timing, and distribution — just like you do with irrigation and nutrients?

LED lighting paired with advanced controls makes this possible. The best way to find high-quality fixtures ready for precision is the DLC Horticultural Qualified Products List (Hort QPL).

Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all lighting. Today’s commercial greenhouses are embracing dynamic lighting strategies — adjusting output based on DLI, plant growth stage, or even weather conditions.

LEDs are not only more energy-efficient than legacy HPS systems — they’re controls-ready, offering features like:

Not all LEDs are built the same. The Hort QPL helps with this challenge.
