Organization Overview

SpectraLite, a Michigan LLC, is your opportunity to invest in advanced products & services in the growing Precision Agriculture Systems & Services industry not available in the market today. We are a company that will develop and sell a technologically advanced, energy-efficient, full- and multi-spectrum programmable LED lighting, quantum photo-spectrometers, and cutting-edge AI processes in a simple to use grow system to manage critical data on environmental parameters and automatically inform control systems to maximize the plants’ growth performance.

 

Investment Opportunity


SpectraLite controls the Intellectual Property and all the rights to a breakthrough agricultural convention that measures and manages key environmental parameters that include, but are not limited to light intensity and spectra, pH, nutrients, CO₂/O₂ interchange, VPD, soil and atmospheric moisture, and plant stress.  Each of these growth parameters that if gone awry, can wreak havoc on a crop. This IP recognizes that each plant phenotype has differing light spectrum and environmental needs for optimum growth and yield. To date, grow light technology has relied primarily on full-spectrum lighting with on-off or dimmable modes of lighting-a "one size fits all" approach. SpectraLite has developed an innovative, patent-pending, proprietary process to optically profile a target plant phenotype.  This process produces a recipe (Parison Profile™) for controlling a programmable light source and critical environmental factors to grow the plant under ideal conditions for optimal growth. SpectraLite’s investment opportunity can increase plant yields and reduce power consumption and grower operating costs. This can lead to significant rebates for the farmer from the utility companies.


Spectralite’s solution addresses the need for Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA, or indoor farming). Company research and testing have identified a huge, immediate opportunity in the fast-growing cannabis market. Cannabis phenotypes have a specific Parison Profile™, or recipe to achieve optimal environmental parameters.  Early test results are showing a 10-30% increase compared to HPS lights in dried and cured marihuana flower yields. At $2,000 per pound wholesale, a Michigan Class C licensed grower with 1,500-2,000 plants could increase revenue by over $2,000,000 per year. This is in addition to much lower energy consumption costs.

Simply put: SpectraLite’s grow system and applied technology produce a higher yield while maximizing efficiency, and minimizing costs.
