Sweden's Startup Heliospectra Launched L4A Series 10 for Advance Research in Plant Science

One of Sweden’s top technology start-ups of 2012, Heliospectra AB, announced today that it has officially launched the L4A Series 10 LED light system aimed at giving researchers an advanced tool for making new discoveries in the plant sciences. Ahead of today’s formal launch, a handful of researchers received the L4A Series 10 to research the effect of specific light spectra on plant characteristics. One of these studies is to develop species specific lighting, or light regimes, for optimizing and modulating plant growth. Heliospectra’s system has 240 individual LEDs across seven different wavelengths ranging from violet to far red. Each wavelength channel is individually adjustable allowing researchers to create precise spectra to match their experimental needs.
