THE LIGHTING KNOWLEDGE COMPANY
P.L. Light Systems offers a complete range of innovative horticultural lighting products across a variety of technologies.
ParFX Ultra
Designed to deliver ultra-high light output and unrivaled uniformity, the ParFXTM Ultra is a high-performance LED top-lighting solution that provides the ultimate balance of power and precision.
The ParFXTM Ultra’s lens is optically engineered to deliver a wide or ultra-wide batwing distribution for exceptional uniformity. This ideal combination of wide light distribution and exceptionally high light output enables wider spacing, so growers can achieve desired light levels evenly across the surface of the crop with fewer luminaires.
Main Features:
An integrated driver, standard horticultural power connectors, and intuitive mounting allow for easy installation in both new or retrofit applications.
The ParFXTM Ultra is thermally and mechanically engineered to dissipate heat through conduction and convection paths—minimizing LED junction temperature and maximizing light output, lifetime, and reliability.
HOW IT WORKS
Convection currents draw cool air into the slots along either end of the luminaire.
The air then passes through the integrated fins that span the length of the luminaire, drawing heat away from the LEDs and electronics compartment.
These integrated aluminum fins also allow for additional conductive heat dissipation for optimal passive thermal management.
Main Features:
- Delivers exceptional uniformity and ideal light distribution.
- Engineered for optimal thermal management.
- Optimum performance and energy savings.
- Simple plug-and-play platform.

TriPlane Linear
This series leverages the best of both LED and HID technologies—high light output, controlled distribution, optimized efficiencies, and exceptional thermal management. Engineered to deliver multiple mounting configurations and distribution angles, it is the ideal combination of form and function in any CEA application.
Designed for maximum flexibility, the TriPlane Linear offers both Linear and SQ mounting options to deliver the ideal form factor in any application. The LED modules can be field-adjusted independently in precise increments in either direction—allowing for highly customized light distribution, depending on the application.
Main Features:
The TriPlane Linear is thermally and mechanically engineered for optimal thermal management—maximizing the lifetime of the luminaire and reducing heat stress on the plants.
The integrated fins on the top of the aluminum LED modules are engineered to dissipate heat through conduction for optimal passive thermal management. The integrated driver is housed in an aluminum enclosure separate from the two LED modules to allow maximum airflow around the electronics compartment—further allowing for passive cooling.
A standard horticultural power connector—along with intuitive, toolless mounting brackets—allows for an easy plug-and-play retrofit of existing HID lighting installations.
The ability to daisy-chain both the power and 0-10V control enables reduced installation cost and complexity.
Main Features:
- Engineered for optimal thermal management.
- Multiple distribution and spectral options.
- Optimum performance and energy savings.
- Simple plug-and-play platform

- Wireless mesh network
HOW IT WORKS
- The customer’s Climate Computer (with HLP protocol module enabled) transmits a communication signal to the MeshIQ Industrial PC using either the supplied ethernet cable, or the customer’s own optical fibre cable that adheres to Modbus TCP/IP standards.
- The Industrial PC then transmits the Modbus TCP/IP signal to the MeshIQ Gateway, also through a supplied ethernet cable (or customer’s optical fibre cable).
- The Gateway then converts the Modbus TCP/IP signal into a digital signal that is wirelessly transmitted to the MeshIQ Receivers (dongles) in the luminaires—enabling comprehensive coverage of the LoRaWAN wireless mesh network within the control area.
- The Receivers are individually programmable—allowing for the creation of luminaire groups to facilitate zonal control.
