LumiGrow, Inc., a provider of horticultural lighting, has signed a North American distribution agreement with Hydrofarm, Inc., one of the world’s largest wholesalers and manufacturers of indoor gardening products. Hydrofarm’s six state-of-the-art distribution centers will make LumiGrow LED lighting for greenhouses, controlled environment agriculture farms and urban gardens readily available to more than 1,500 garden centers and hydroponic equipment retailers throughout the United States and Canada.
Hydrofarm will carry the full LumiGrow product line, including the ES330 and ES165 systems for greenhouses and indoor gardens, the LumiBar LED strip light for shelf systems and the LumiBulb red and far red LED light bulbs for supplementary light applications.
“The marketplace is signaling its readiness for LED lighting solutions that deliver substantial crop yield gains and energy savings,” said Chris Whipple, product manager, Hydrofarm. “We selected the LumiGrow product line because of the company’s proven track record for product and service quality.”
“Hydrofarm’s specialization in high-quality indoor growing equipment for garden center and hydroponic retailers makes it a strategic fit for LumiGrow,” said Neil Coppinger, vice president of sales for LumiGrow. “Hydrofarm’s logistics expertise will provide retailers looking for our products with superior service in the key areas of product availability, on-time delivery and responsiveness.”
Designed and built in the U.S., the LumiGrow product line is independently proven to improve crop yields and reduce operating costs by half compared to conventional lighting. Growers gain more control over crop characteristics with the LumiGrow solution’s tunable color spectrum. The LumiGrow solution’s compact, all-in-one design minimizes canopy shadowing and eliminates the cost and complexity of systems requiring fans, ballasts and reflectors. GT
