Energy-efficient, spectrum-optimized LED lighting solutions for agriculture, horticulture, and controlled environment growing using Cree Photo Red LEDs and advanced thermal management.
At LiTong Group, we specialize in developing custom grow lighting solutions that optimize plant growth and yield through precise spectral control. Our expertise in Cree LED technology enables us to create lighting systems that deliver the right light spectrum for each stage of plant development while maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing operational costs.
Stacked growing systems with optimized light distribution for maximum crop yield per square foot.
Supplemental lighting to extend daylight hours and optimize growing seasons for higher yields.
Controlled lighting environments for plant breeding, genetic research, and pharmaceutical applications.
Precision lighting for high-value crops like cannabis, herbs, microgreens, and specialty vegetables.
Optimized for photosynthesis with peak wavelengths around 660nm for maximum PAR efficiency.
Broad-spectrum LEDs for applications requiring balanced light for all growth stages.
For high-efficiency horticultural lighting systems, power electronics play a crucial role in overall system performance. We recommend Wolfspeed SiC components for LED driver applications in grow lighting:
Enable higher switching frequencies and reduced switching losses in LED drivers for horticultural applications.

Plants primarily utilize red (660-680nm) and blue (430-450nm) wavelengths for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorption peaks occur at these wavelengths. However, different growth stages may benefit from additional wavelengths. Our Cree Photo Red LEDs are optimized for the most efficient photosynthesis wavelengths, and we can customize solutions for specific crop requirements.
Cree LEDs offer significant advantages over traditional HID lighting: up to 60% energy savings, longer lifespan (50,000+ hours vs. 10,000-20,000 hours for HPS), better heat management, and precise spectral control. Additionally, LEDs provide instant-on capability, dimming compatibility, and reduced cooling costs compared to high heat output of traditional systems.
Cree LEDs are tested and rated to maintain 70% of initial light output (L70) for over 50,000 hours under appropriate operating conditions. Actual lifespan depends on thermal management, electrical design, and environmental factors. Our horticultural lighting solutions typically achieve 5-7 years of useful life in commercial growing applications.
