The best LED grow lights for herbs in vertical farming

Many growers have built successful vertical farming facilities that grow herbs indoors under herb grow lights. LED lighting offers a number of benefits for growing sustainable food. By controlling the light, growers can germinate herbs quicker, grow roots faster and get bigger yields. Since LEDs run at cooler temperatures than other grow lights, they can be placed closer to the plant to encourage homogeneous growth. Ideal for growing herbs indoors with artificial light in vertical stacks. Our custom LED light recipes enable growers to steer flavour, appearance and other plant characteristics to meet specific consumer demands.

The best LED grow lights for herbs in greenhouses

Philips LED grow lights for herbs help growers dramatically increase yield by up to 30% in their greenhouse. They also offer clear benefits in terms of the quality and consistency of crops. For example, basil crops produced with Philips grow lights have more consistent leaf development, deeper foliage colour and better taste compared to other types of grow lights. Our custom LED light recipes allow you to further steer specific plant aspects, from shelf life to taste, to differentiate your herbs in the market.

Leverage proven results from Philips light recipes

Philips light recipes capture all the elements of lighting that steer plant growth when growing herbs indoors with artificial light.
