The plant LEDs from urbanhive – why our plants thrive so well

At urbanhive, the plant LEDs play a central role in successful plant growth. Light is crucial for photosynthesis and therefore for the health and growth of your plants. But what makes urbanhive's light system so special? Here you'll learn how our well-thought-out lighting solution supplies your plants optimally and guarantees long-lasting growth.

1. Maximum efficiency through an optimised light cone

Our lighting system lets you aim the light cone precisely at your plants. That means the light is strongest exactly where it's needed most – directly on the plants.

  • Optimal distribution: The light cone ensures that all plants are lit evenly, without scatter losses. That means even the lower leaves receive enough light for photosynthesis.
  • Adjust light intensity: With our height-adjustable LEDs you can easily regulate the distance between the light source and your plants. The closer the LEDs, the more intense the light – perfect for the needs of every plant size.
The homefarm is modular. The plant boxes unhook effortlessly so you can take your plants straight to the table.

2. Full light spectrum for healthy growth

Plants need different light wavelengths for different growth phases. Our LEDs cover the full light spectrum your plants need for optimal photosynthesis.

  • Blue light promotes leaf growth.
  • Red light supports flowering and fruit formation.

This interplay of different light waves ensures even, fast and healthy plant growth.

3. Light angle – efficient use of light energy

The light angle of our LEDs is crucial for efficiency. It determines how strong the light is in different areas of the light cone.

  • Center of the cone: This is where light intensity is highest. That's why we aim the cone so that the main part of the plant always sits in the optimal zone.
  • Beam angle and field angle: These ensure that even the outer areas of the plants still receive enough light. Thanks to the clever arrangement and the use of reflective materials, the light is used efficiently.

4. Energy-efficient lighting – less power, more growth

Our LEDs are not only powerful but also extremely energy-efficient. This not only saves you electricity, it also keeps heat generation low, which is ideal for plants.

  • Low power consumption: You save on energy costs in the long run without compromising on healthy plant growth.
  • Sustainability: With our system you can grow fresh plants all year round while protecting the environment.

5. Automated light control – full control via the app

Our urbanhive app gives you full control over your garden's lighting. You can easily set lighting times, adjust the light intensity and receive notifications when your plants need extra hours of light.

  • Individual adjustment: Every plant has its own light requirements. With the app, you can fine-tune the light to achieve the best results.
  • Optimized plant management: The app gives you tips and guidance to take the best possible care of your plants.
