East Providence, Rhode Island Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Growgenics LLC has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for its innovation in horticultural lighting technology. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 12041893, titled ‘Grow light assembly with inspection mode and method of operating thereof’, introduces an advanced grow light system that enhances plant growth while providing a specialized inspection mode for growers.
The patented grow light assembly features primary and secondary light modules equipped with LEDs, which can be adjusted in height and angle to optimize light exposure across the plant canopy. A key innovation is the inspection mode, allowing growers to manually switch the light output to a specific spectrum – white light during the day cycle and green light during the night cycle – facilitating plant inspection without disrupting growth cycles.
This technology addresses common challenges in indoor farming, such as uneven light distribution and the need for plant monitoring during dark periods. By incorporating adjustable light modules and a controllable inspection mode, Growgenics’ system ensures consistent plant development and simplifies maintenance tasks.
Growgenics LLC’s invention represents a significant advancement in controlled environment agriculture, offering growers a versatile and efficient lighting solution that supports both plant health and operational convenience.
