Food Autonomy recently collaborated with Plant Lighting as an independent research company to conduct a pilot study examining the effects of LEDFan technology on greenhouse climate and crop performance. The study, focusing on high-wire tomato cultivation, explored how integrating ventilation with LED lighting can influence airflow, temperature distribution, and plant responses.

LEDFan is a lighting fixture integrating LED modules with active air circulation. The system moves air through the fixture to redistribute heat and influence airflow within the crop canopy. The trial aimed to observe the localized effects of the technology and assess its influence on plant-climate interactions. By optimizing air circulation and heat distribution, LEDFan technology has the potential to improve both climate control and crop productivity in greenhouses. The findings provide insights into how growers can achieve a more efficient and controlled growing environment, contributing to sustainable horticulture practices.
