COMMERCIAL CANNABIS LIGHTING
Under-canopy lighting.
More potential in every layer.
Bring supplemental light to lower leaves and flower sites. Explore Boost XE and estimate the potential costs and returns for your facility.
A DIFFERENT ANGLE ON YOUR CANOPY
Look below the top layer.
As the canopy fills in, lower leaves and flower sites can receive less light. Under-canopy lighting puts supplemental light directly in this part of the plant. Trial the layout and compare crop response with your current setup.
Evaluate the whole crop
Consider yield and flower quality together. Compare a trial against your own baseline before planning a wider rollout.
Put numbers to the decision
Weigh potential crop value against fixture cost, installation, electricity, and the demands of your room.

FROM IDEA TO INSTALLATION
Make it work for your room.
Plan fixture placement around the crop, available power, and the daily work in your room.
Talk to a Lighting Expert- 01
Start with a room and a baseline
Bring your canopy dimensions, current yields, crop value, and cultivation schedule. A representative trial gives you a useful basis for comparison.
- 02
Plan light, access, and power together
Review placement, dimming, electrical capacity, irrigation access, and day-to-day work around the crop. Fixture count comes from the layout. Floor area alone won’t give you the number.
- 03
Account for operating changes
Additional lighting adds electrical load. Review HVAC capacity and monitor crop response, irrigation demand, and environmental conditions as you adjust your approach.
A FEW PRACTICAL ANSWERS
Under-canopy lighting FAQs.
Have a question about your facility?
Talk it through with Thrive.
What is under-canopy lighting?
Under-canopy lighting places supplemental fixtures below the plant canopy to illuminate lower leaves and flower sites. It complements overhead lighting and should be planned around the crop, room layout, and cultivation strategy.
Does it replace my overhead lighting?
No. It adds light beneath the canopy and works alongside your overhead fixtures. Review the combined light distribution and operating schedule with a lighting designer.
What yield increase should I use in the calculator?
Use your own trial results when available, and compare several scenarios, including no yield increase. You can edit the assumed yield increase in the calculator. Results aren’t guaranteed, and the starting scenario assumes no improvement in harvest grade mix.
Will I need to change irrigation or HVAC settings?
Possibly. More light can increase the crop’s water and nutrient demand, and the fixtures add heat to the room. Monitor crop response and review irrigation, fertigation, and HVAC capacity with your cultivation and facilities teams. The calculator does not include added HVAC, nutrient, or labor costs.
How many fixtures will my room need?
The calculator uses editable coverage assumptions for early planning. Final quantity and spacing depend on canopy geometry, fixture placement, access, light distribution, and electrical limits. Thrive can help develop a layout for your specific room.
Is the ROI estimate a quote or a performance guarantee?
Neither. It is a planning estimate based on the assumptions you enter. Yield, quality mix, price, installation, rebates, and operating costs can materially change the outcome. Review the assumptions with Thrive before making a purchase decision.
