f you’ve ever built or updated a
growing operation, you know that
lighting is a tough decision.
Even when you dive into catalogues,
PAR graphs, and phone calls with
salesmen, answers can be elusive.
To make things worse, you have a
looming cloud of pressure reminding
you that if you choose the wrong
lights, you run the risk of installing
your lighting late and slamming your
farm with unexpected lighting costs.
If that’s you, don’t worry. A basic
understanding of lighting types will
decode most of those catalogues
and tables.
