Light Science Technologies secures trials for sensorGROW potentially worth £940k
Light Science Technologies (LST), has announced that it has signed trial contracts for its recently launched sensorGROW. If successful, these trials have the potential to roll into subscriptions and be worth up to £940,000 in recurring revenues over a three-year period. LST is also in talks regarding a series of other trials.
LST has already established a strong footprint within the CEA market and its latest product, sensorGROW, offers technology, data collection, advisory and maintenance services for clients, on a three-year contracted basis.
Launched in June 2022, sensorGROW is an all-in-one growing intelligence tool aimed at giving indoor farmers better environmental control, with benefits including reductions in water usage, nutrients, fertilisers and energy while increasing yields, producing healthier crops and reducing waste. It also saves money by allowing growers to spot trends with big data via interactive dashboards.
Simon Deacon, CEO and founder of Light Science Technologies, said: "I am pleased to see confirmation of several sensorGROW trial contracts and expect more to be forthcoming. This demonstrates how growers see the importance of combining intelligence and increasing productivity to maximise yields within their indoor growing environments in a time when energy efficiency is crucial."
Valued at US$1.5 billion in 2022, the European indoor farming sensor market is expected to reach US$2.3 billion by 2028, growing at a 7.6% CAGR over the forecast period.

Featured Product
Photophyll™ Select from CREE LED
Photophyll Select is a new phosphor-converted LED color with blue and green spectral output tuned for horticulture applications. These LEDs are designed to replace the white LEDs that are common in two-channel white + red horticulture luminaires. By maximizing green content and minimizing red content versus standard lighting LEDs, this LED color enables significant enhancements to luminaire cost and performance. Photophyll Select LEDs are the industry's first LEDs to be entirely binned in horticulture metrics, enabling more straightforward spectrum design without confusing translations or conversions. The spectral output of these LEDs is binned into two metrics, both of which are based on the amount of PPF in standard Blue (400-499 nm), Green (500-599 nm) and Red (600-700 nm) bands. The two spectral metrics are percentage of Red PPF content and the ratio of Green to Blue PPF content.
