ScarLED Launch

Partnering with growers to meet industry challenges

Cannabis growers have mastered the art of cultivation, but as the market matures, new tools are emerging to enhance consistency, optimize yield and refine quality. Lighting is a key factor in this evolution and many professionals are now looking for solutions that integrate seamlessly into their existing expertise and infrastructure while unlocking new agronomic potential.

Common challenges growers face today include:

  • Striking the right balance between efficiency and precision is key: With soaring energy costs, every watt matters, yet fixed-spectrum lighting can restrict the ability to fine-tune crop outcomes.
  • Meeting changing market demands: As the call for consistent, high-quality production increases, growers need advanced tools that enhance their expertise and support standardization.
  • Maximizing the potential of new technologies: Modern lighting systems offer immense power, but to deliver real value, they must be intuitive, user-friendly, and easily adaptable; without demanding steep learning curves.

ScarLED™ is designed with growers, for growers, addressing these challenges by offering a dynamic, adaptable and cost-effective lighting system tailored to the realities of modern cannabis production.

Empowering growers with next-generation technology

ScarLED™ isn’t just a lighting system, it’s a precision agronomic tool that helps cultivators fine-tune their operations while maintaining the knowledge and experience they already have. Designed for real-world growing conditions, ScarLED™ offers:

  • Unmatched efficiency: Up to 4.1 μmol/J for greenhouse setups and 3.2 μmol/J for indoor facilities, delivering maximum light with minimal energy waste.
  • Adaptive spectrum control: Growers can adjust four independent light channels, creating custom light recipes to suit each strain and growth phase.
  • AI-driven automation: Integrated with MyRED™, ScarLED™ automatically optimizes light strategies based on crop feedback and environmental conditions.
  • Long-term reliability: Sulfur-resistant LEDs and IP66 waterproofing ensure durable performance in any cultivation environment.
  • Seamless integration: With a plug-and-play retrofit design, transitioning from HPS to ScarLED™ is straightforward and cost-efficient.
  • Guaranteed PPFD at crop level: Growers can rely on consistent light intensity where it matters most, ensuring uniform plant development.
  • Minimal light degradation over time: While many systems lose 10 - 20% efficiency in just a few years, ScarLED™ guarantees <0,1% performance reduction per year, ensuring long-term success.

Supporting growers in the next phase of cultivation

Instead of prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution, ScarLED™ provides growers with the tools to refine and improve their existing strategies. By embracing a flexible and science-driven approach, ScarLED™ helps cultivators:

  • Enhance cannabinoid and terpene profiles with optimized light spectrum management.
  • Maximize operational efficiency while maintaining the high standards they already uphold.
  • Ensure crop consistency and quality with lighting that adapts to different varieties and environmental conditions.

Lighting the way forward together

As the industry continues to professionalize, ScarLED™ provides an opportunity for growers to build on their success, not replace their expertise. By combining deep agronomic knowledge with cutting-edge technology, RED Horticulture is committed to helping cultivators unlock new efficiencies without compromising what makes their craft unique
