Greenhouse Lighting
Get in TouchAt Lumigro, we provide innovative greenhouse lighting solutions, tailored to enhance plant growth and optimise energy use. Our range includes LED, HPS, and fluorescent systems, each designed to deliver optimal light spectra for different plant types and growth stages.
We cover the area and beyond, ensuring each client receives bespoke advice and installation for their specific horticultural needs. Contact us today to discuss how our solutions can benefit your greenhouse environment.
How Much Does Greenhouse Lighting Cost?
Greenhouse lighting typically costs between £80 and £150 per fixture, depending on the type and specifications. LED systems usually demand a higher upfront investment but offer significant energy savings due to their efficiency and longevity, reducing electricity bills over time.
High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) and fluorescent lighting options might be more budget-friendly initially but often result in higher long-term costs due to increased energy consumption and frequent maintenance requirements.
Additional factors influencing the cost include installation complexity, which can be affected by the existing electrical infrastructure and the need for specialised equipment like ballasts or timers, as well as the size and layout of the greenhouse, which determine the number and placement of fixtures.

We offer a variety of greenhouse lighting options to suit different horticultural requirements:
LED Systems: Energy-efficient with an extended lifespan, ideal for precise spectrum control and reduced energy bills. These systems often come with dimmable features, allowing growers to adjust the light intensity according to the plants' needs. LEDs are available in various spectrums such as red, blue, and white, suitable for different growth stages.
High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) Lights: Known for their high output and efficiency, suitable for flowering stages. HPS lights emit a broad spectrum of orange to red light, promoting robust plant health and accelerated growth. They are often used in larger greenhouse setups where high lumen output is critical.
Fluorescent Systems: Cost-effective and versatile, often used for seedlings and early growth phases. They come in cool white or full-spectrum configurations, which are effective for promoting compact and healthy seedlings. Their low heat emission helps to keep the greenhouse environment stable.

How Long Does It Take to Install Greenhouse Lighting?
Installing greenhouse lighting typically takes one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of your greenhouse setup. Our specialists conduct a thorough site assessment to identify any specific requirements, such as custom light layouts or integrating with existing systems.
For larger greenhouses or those incorporating smart lighting technology, the process may extend over additional days. We use industry-standard LED fixtures and ensure safety and adherence to regulations like the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards during installation.
We also perform post-installation checks to verify luminous intensity and uniformity, ensuring optimal growth conditions. Whether you are a commercial grower or a smallholder, let us know how we can assist with your project.
What Are the Benefits of Greenhouse Lighting?
Greenhouse lighting offers numerous benefits for growers, enhancing both productivity and crop quality.
Extended Growing Seasons: Facilitates year-round cultivation by simulating natural light conditions, allowing growers to produce crops even during the shorter days of winter. This is especially beneficial for perennials and vegetables that flourish under consistent light exposure.
Enhanced Growth Rates: Promotes photosynthesis and accelerates plant development, increasing yield rates and reducing time to harvest. By maintaining optimal light levels, growers can ensure that plants receive the necessary energy to thrive.
Energy Efficiency: Modern systems like LEDs reduce energy consumption and operational costs. They typically offer a lifespan of over 50,000 hours, substantially lowering the need for frequent replacements and maintenance interventions.
Custom Spectrum Lighting: Tailors light wavelengths to specific plant needs for improved quality and yield. Systems can be customised to deliver red, blue, and far-red light, which are crucial for processes such as flowering and vegetative growth.
These advancements translate into improved operational efficiency and better crop outcomes. Contact us to explore these advantages for your greenhouse.
