Apacer has spotted the opportunities and demands that come with LED horticulture lighting and developed luxometers and light sensors which are suitable for horticulture and agricultural applications.

The company has cooperated with Chinese company Sanan Sino-Science to develop inspection methods for effective lighting prescriptions targeting horticulture lighting. According to the company, how to maintain the effective lighting prescription when growing plants is critical for improving the yields and quality of crops. Therefore, professional inspection tools are necessary to ensure the lighting quality of LEDs. Apacer’s luxometers can inspect wavelength from 330-850nm and be tailored to test different light sources for specific plants.
