About Plantlife Technologies
Plantlife Technologies is the plant lighting specialized division of BILTON LEDON TECHNOLOGY GmbH, based in Saalfelden am Steinernen Meer (Austria). The team develops highly efficient LED lighting solutions for compact indoor cultivation areas, in particular the ModuLED lighting system with LightPads and integrated Grow Controller. The spectrum of the luminaires is matched to the photon absorption curves of plant pigments such as chlorophyll, carotenoids, phototropin and phytochrome; according to the manufacturer, the plants use around 99% of the emitted photons. A network of LightPads achieves an average light distribution uniformity of 75% across the cultivation area. Target industries are indoor farming, medical cannabis cultivation and horticulture. The company supports installations scientifically, offers consulting on the growing environment and objectives, and distributes its products via wholesalers and sales partners. Bilton Ledon Technology sees itself as a pioneer of the LED lighting industry.

Technology & Spectrum
LED Technology
Combinable LEDs (including deep blue and deep red) enable the creation of plant-specific light spectra with precise intensity control.
HPS Comparison Technology
Sodium vapor lamps serve as reference; in a comparative study, ModuLED achieved 24.5 g versus 11.8 g of dry mass per plant with over 40% lower energy consumption.
