EMPOWER GROWERS
with efficient and quality horticulture lighting products.
The Horticulture Lighting Group sells LED lighting products for the
horticulture lighting industry. The company sells LED lamps, modules, and
heatsinks. All their LED modules are custom designed. Their latest
QB 288 V2 LED module is made by Samsung in South Korea.
Horticulture Lighting Group uses high-efficiency white
light LEDs for its products. Co-founders Amit Chandna and
Stephen Johnson took the time to answer our questions.
What prompted the merge between Johnson
and Northern Grow Lights?
Johnson Grow Lights and Northern Grow Lights where both
startup companies that were going on their second year as light-
ing companies. These startups gave Amit and myself a great
exposure to the industry, helped us understand LED technology,
efficiency, and what the customers are looking for. We saw an
opportunity to work together on research and development of a
new revolutionary lighting source for horticulture. We decided
that it would be mutually beneficial to merge our resources and
started Horticulture Lighting Group in 2016.
Was it a smooth merge or were there some growing pains?
Transition to working together was easy as we had been
collaborating for the previous six months. We shared similar
values and goals, and that helped us overcome the problem
of living in different states.
