Reach the lower canopy
Add a supplemental light source below the canopy, where dense growth can limit the reach of overhead light.
COMMERCIAL CANNABIS LIGHTING
Under-canopy lighting.
More potential in every layer.
Bring light to the lower canopy. Explore a practical way to improve crop performance—and see what the economics could look like in your facility.
A DIFFERENT ANGLE ON YOUR CANOPY
Look below the top layer.
As the canopy fills in, lower growth can receive less light. Under-canopy lighting adds a targeted layer of illumination—and a new variable to evaluate in your cultivation strategy.
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.
A good lighting plan considers the grower as well as the crop.
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 is a layout decision, not just a floor-area calculation.
- 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
Before you add another layer.
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. This application adds light beneath the canopy while overhead fixtures remain part of the lighting plan. 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. Thrive’s published Boost XE page describes gains of up to 30%; that is not a guaranteed result for your facility. The calculator makes this an editable assumption and starts quality-mix improvement at zero.
Will I need to change irrigation or HVAC settings?
Additional light can change crop demand and adds electrical heat to the room. Monitor the crop and growing environment, and review fertigation, irrigation, and HVAC capacity with your cultivation and facilities teams. The calculator does not separately model additional 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.
