RED Horticulture Launches SCARLED™, a Cutting-Edge LED Lighting System for Precision Cannabis Cultivation

As the cannabis industry continues to evolve, growers are increasingly equipped with advanced tools for greater precision, efficiency, and adaptability. RED Horticulture has launched ScarLED™, a next-generation LED lighting system designed in collaboration with experienced growers to provide enhanced control over every stage of the growing cycle.
Cannabis growers have mastered the art of cultivation, but as the market matures, new tools are emerging to increase consistency, optimize yield and refine quality. Lighting is a key factor in this evolution, and many professionals are now looking for solutions that integrate seamlessly with their existing expertise and infrastructure, while unlocking new agronomic potential.
Common challenges that producers face today include:
- Balancing efficiency with precision: High energy costs mean every watt must count, but fixed spectrum lighting can limit precise control over crop performance.
- Adapting to changing market demands: The need for standardized, high-quality production is increasing, requiring advanced tools that complement the producer's knowledge.
- Harnessing new technologies effectively: The latest lighting solutions are powerful, but they must be easy to use and adaptable to deliver real benefits without steep learning curves.
ScarLED™ was designed with growers, for growers, addressing these challenges by offering a dynamic, adaptable and cost-effective lighting system tailored to the realities of modern cannabis production.
Empowering producers with next-generation technology
ScarLED™ is not just a lighting system, it’s a precision agronomic tool that helps growers fine-tune their operations while maintaining the knowledge and experience they already have. Designed for real-world growing conditions, ScarLED™ offers:
- Unparalleled efficiency: efficiency up to 4,1 μmol/J, providing maximum light with minimum energy waste.
- Adaptive Spectrum Control: Growers can adjust four independent light channels, creating custom light recipes for each variety and growth stage.
- AI-Driven Automation: Integrated into MyRED™, ScarLED™ automatically optimizes lighting strategies based on crop feedback and environmental conditions.
- Long-term reliability: Sulfur-resistant LEDs and IP66 protection standards ensure long-lasting performance in any growing environment.
- Seamless Integration: With a plug-and-play retrofit design, the transition from HPS to ScarLED™ is simple and cost-effective.
- Guaranteed PPFD at crop level: Growers can count on consistent light intensity where it matters most, ensuring uniform plant development.
Supporting growers in the next phase of cultivation
Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution, ScarLED™ provides growers with the tools to refine and improve their existing strategies. By taking a flexible, science-driven approach, ScarLED™ helps growers:
- Enhance cannabinoid and terpene profiles with optimized light spectrum management.
- Maximize operational efficiency while maintaining the high standards you already maintain.
- Increase crop consistency and quality with lighting that adapts to different varieties and environmental conditions.
Lighting the way forward together
As the industry continues to professionalize, ScarLED™ offers an opportunity for growers to build on their success, not replace their expertise. By combining deep agronomic knowledge with cutting-edge technology, we are committed to helping growers unlock new efficiencies without compromising what makes their craft unique.
