LED technology is now so advanced it can make a massive difference to crops.

Super Advanced Horticultural LED Lighting


The EarthBAY and EarthPLATE is a range of high quality, high performance LED

light fittings spceifically designed for growing.


Our system is unique it its design and is modular meaning you can expand it when you need to, take care of your harvest this year and don't be stuck next year, you can change it or move it around your farm. It is built on the chasis of our traditional LED fittings that have been sold in Africa for over 20 years. They are tough and durable by design, and have some of the highest lumen efficency ratings technically possible. This is a range truly at the peak of its performance


Spectrums

You will hear alot about Spectrums when discussing grow lights with many companies claiming to have the best solution. The truth is the spectrum is very dependant on the environment and harvest you are growing. We have over 12 specifically tuned outputs to provide sustenance and enhance growth for propagation, vegging, flowering and fruiting stages of the plants life cycle.


Intensity

The horti industry is highly light intensive and the commercial flowering stage of recomended UV light output is between to 500 and 1000 umol/ms/s. It is vital to understand how the light impacts the growing cycle and to choose the correct distance from the plant to ensure maximum growth yield.  You can achieve the required UV output needed using a combination of fittings designs to fit your existing farm architecture. We have various beam angle options to help direct the light exactly where you need it.


Success

All life grows when nurtured properly. We have proven our LED chips special spectrum delivers results and are happy to share this with you. We dont just make claims from the lab we have tested them live in the field, you can talk to our farmers for recomendations and advice as well if you like.

Wisedom comes with age, it doesnt mean every one older than your is always right! but it can lead to a refreshing new mindset to talk through business decisions with an outsider. If you are managing change in your organisation perhaps for the first time and would like to understand the ramifications of your decisions on a one ot one basis then a mentor is a great way to think. Small Groups or Huge ones! One to One programs specifically designed for you to enhance your skill set. We also work with teams (large or small) to deliver motivational plans. Weekly calls to de-stress you and provide an outsiders view to help you make more balanced decisions. Mentoring over a longer period is available with academic testing, report discussion, feedback session and action plans that we will guide you through. Or simply 24/7 access to an experiened business leader to discuss any issues you face.

The world has changed for sure, we have all learned lessons and become more resilient, wise and adapted our approach to survive the last 12 months. Business owners will be familiar with this concept as we embrace change to grow our businesses. Change management has been around for a long time but it is implemented with varying levels of resistance and speed. The Covid pandemic forced many businesses to change extremely quickly, look at the supply chain and downscale in many cases to ensure survival. We wouldn't want to go through that again every year but in fact it may have given some valuable lessons and perhaps for some showed that change can be good and that it can help a business. Now is the time to take that to the next stage as we build a global vaccination program. Are you set up to take advantage of the market? can you out smart your competitors? are they thinking and planning the same things right now? YES! is the answer and many companies are indeed planning, investing and getting ready to exit the lockdown with a new plan. Strategy is important, think of it as an opportunity to re-evaluate what makes your business strong and attractive to customers. Come out from behind the mask with confidence but do it soon to grab the new opportunities that are starting to appear even now.
