Flexstar to showcase brand-new lighting system at Greentech

Flexstar Horticulture will present a new lighting system at GreenTech Amsterdam in June, where the company will outline developments in spectral control, fixture design, and system-level lighting management for controlled environment agriculture.

“There is a quiet revolution happening in the world of Controlled Environment Agriculture, and it is reshaping the future of fresh produce”, says Peggy Chen, global sales manager with Flexstar Horticulture. Behind the scenes, the company has drawn on advanced R&D and extensive experience across numerous projects to engineer a solution to one of the industry’s oldest challenges. “Wow to achieve peak, uniform crop yields year-round, regardless of seasonal light fluctuations.”

The wait is almost over. This June, the veil will be lifted at GreenTech Amsterdam. “For growers looking to maximize yield per square meter, the future of grow lighting is arriving in Amsterdam”, Peggy says.

Precision lighting engineering for crops
At Flexstar Horticulture, lighting systems are meticulously designed for large-scale greenhouse and indoor facility integration. “These fixtures are not just designed to be bright; they are slim, high-efficiency systems built to work in perfect harmony with natural sunlight”, says Peggy.

She explains the company focuses on advanced spectral technology. “Our advanced lighting systems deliver an optimized spectrum tailored specifically for vine crops and other greenhouse and indoor crops. Instead of a generic full spectrum, Flexstar lighting fixtures provide a precise blend of wavelengths that enhance photosynthesis during low-light winter months and fluctuating overcast days. The result is better fruit set, stronger stems, and accelerated ripening times.”

Additionally, it features multi-channel independent control & the shade avoidance advantage. “Different crops require different spectra at different growth stages. The lighting systems address this need with Multi-Channel Independent Control, enabling full-spectrum tuning and the creation of a wide range of light recipes using blue, green, red, and far-red wavelengths. Multi-channel lighting options include different power inputs and 4-channel control, offering greater flexibility in lighting-plan design.”

Greenhouse structures naturally introduce shading, and densely planted crop rows often struggle with light uniformity. “Our lighting systems address this challenge with independent far-red control capabilities. By isolating the far-red wavelength, growers can manipulate specific morphological responses to improve crop performance and consistency.”

Built with an ultra-slim profile, Flexstar lighting systems minimize structural shadowing, ensuring that when the sun is shining, crops receive the maximum amount of available natural light.

Then, there’s the intelligence across acres: Ultimate Control Ecosystem. “We’re debuting our Smart Lighting Control System—the digital brain designed to optimize energy consumption and light delivery across massive commercial footprints.”

Fixture-level visibility allows operators to monitor fixture status, connectivity, and overall system performance in real time across the entire facility. Smart energy cost control optimizes lighting schedules based on electricity pricing while still maintaining required crop lighting targets. Adaptive PAR compensation automatically adjusts light output in response to changing sunlight conditions to ensure stable and consistent PAR levels. Zone-based crop control enables precise lighting strategies tailored to different crops, growth stages, and specific greenhouse zones. Wireless deployment supports flexible installation and scalable fixture management, significantly reducing wiring complexity while improving system adaptability.
