BIOS horticulture lighting focuses on how plants respond to sunlight to deliver the perfect biological energy source that plants need to thrive. BIOS showcases high efficacy, industry-leading light uniformity, and superior long-term performance.
“The LED lighting that we use today was created to enhance good vision and plant response while reducing energy consumption.” says Savadatti “The greatest disservice committed by the lighting industry is ignoring the impact of light on the health and wellness of human beings.
