Fluence, a leading global provider of energy-efficient LED lighting solutions for commercial cannabis and food production, today announced an exclusive partnership with BioLumic, a plant-growth biotechnology company that uses Light Signal RecipesTM to increase plant yields, health, and quality sustainably. Fluence and BioLumic have agreed to work together to deliver BioLumic’s cutting-edge UV Light Signals via Fluence’s industry-leading LED lighting systems.
The unique method of BioLumic uses UV photomorphogenesis to initiate biological events in seeds and early plants, significantly improving plant performance. The company’s UV Light Signal RecipesTM has significantly increased plant yields, desirable plant characteristics, and vigor while activating inherent plant resistance to disease and pests.
“Our goal at Fluence is to drive cutting-edge plant science and innovations in agriculture technology,” said David Cohen, CEO of Fluence. “We’re excited to pursue that goal in collaboration with BioLumic and create the next generation of leading lighting solutions for cannabis and produce growers around the world.”
Fluence’s lighting systems will administer BioLumic’s dynamic UV light treatments during plant propagation—one-time treatments that activate benefits that accumulate throughout the plant growth cycle. By combining BioLumic and Fluence’s market-leading products, cultivators can achieve high-quality yield gains, boost cannabinoid levels, and improve overall plant quality while minimizing cycle-to-cycle variability.
“BioLumic’s Light Signal Recipes™ allow cultivators to fully and frictionlessly harness UV lighting to improve plant growth and genetic expression without big input costs or chemicals,” said Steve Sibulkin, CEO of BioLumic. “This partnership will accelerate the development of BioLumic’s Light Signal Platform, increase our company’s access to the global horticulture market and strengthen Fluence’s horticultural lighting portfolio. It’s a tremendous win for growers looking for new ways to grow more with less.”
Fluence’s strong history of science-led innovation in photobiology is reinforced by this collaboration, which comes on the heels of many product introductions this year, including RAPTR, RAZR Modular System, VYNE, SPYDR Fang, SPYDR 2h, and Wireless Flex Dimming. Fluence’s dynamic and evolving portfolio of luminaires and lighting controllers provides farmers with cutting-edge lighting technology that meets and surpasses cultivation objectives.
