Grow light comparisons, spectrum quality + $ per umol
Spectrum built. Output measured. ProTerp uses deliberate multi-band spectra, independent control on select channels, and sphere-tested output.

Why Modern LED Grow Lights Are Moving Beyond Traditional White + Red Spectra and towards CMH/Sunlike Inspired Spectrum.
For nearly a decade, the formula for building a high-performance LED grow light was fairly straightforward: use efficient white LEDs for most of the output, add 660nm deep…
Why 640nm Peak Diodes Appear in Select 2026 ProTerp Fixture (And Why Our Stance on “Dual Red Peaks” Hasn’t Changed)
Why 640nm Appears in Select 2026 ProTerp Fixtures (And Why Our Stance on “Dual Red Peaks” Hasn’t Changed) Our baseline target spectrum for the ProTerp Series remains a…
Why Dual Red Peaks in Grow Lights Are Nonsense
Why Dual Red Peaks in Grow Lights Are Nonsense Not a new idea. Not useful. Just bad engineering and worse marketing. There’s a trend spreading through grow light…
