Why the Aspect™ Stands Apart
World's First Luxury Full Spectrum LED Grow Light
The
Aspect LED Plant Light, has struck a balance between a high precision photosynthetic spectrum and supreme lighting quality that is traditionally reserved only for museums and galleries. But this discovery didn’t happen overnight. The Aspect is the result of volumes of plant and lighting research and countless series of testing. We did all this because as plant lovers who take pride in our homes we wanted something new. Most importantly, we wanted it done right.
Features
There are a few features that make our products stand out from all of the rest, the most important being our spectrum. Our warm white spectrum stands out among our competitors’ because we know interior design is important to you! The Aspect is the ideal light for both supporting your plants and
displaying them beautifully indoors. With a color temperature of 3000K and a color rendering index (CRI) value of 97, the Aspect grow light promises a professional level of color accuracy usually reserved for photographers and art galleries.
The Aspect™
Our specially designed warm white LEDs are then set inside our uniquely sleek and modern pendant fixtures which are each carefully inspected before being shipped out of our Bethlehem, PA location. The design and development of the Aspect has been a long and meticulous process, but the beautiful results have made it more than worth it.
Crash Course: Photosynthetic Spectrums 101
Artificial lighting options for
indoor gardeners can sometimes be confusing. A simple search will turn up hundreds of different products. These range from red/blue LED lights, incandescent bulbs, HID systems, fluorescent bulbs and even plasma light! The Aspect is unlike all of these technologies. It is different because it is a full spectrum LED grow light that was made for your home décor, not commercial applications.
Grow Light Science
Plants are able to absorb nearly all wavelengths of light, but the process is very inefficient and a waste of electric. It was discovered that only a narrow range of blue wavelengths, between 440nm – 460nm, and red wavelengths, between 630nm – 680nm, are easily absorbed by chlorophyll and effectively used for photosynthesis. The result of this discovery lead to highly efficient red/blue LED lighting to take command of the grow light industry. This is great news for commercial growers, but nothing was created for residential use until now. We created the Aspect to produce wavelengths that correspond with photosynthesis yet function as interior lighting.

Typical Red and Blue LED Grow Light (below)
The Aspect is unique because it creates light using a balance of blue, green and red. We focused on a 1:4 ratio of blue to red light for healthy root and stem development. This ratio is critical because blue light supports root development and dense plant growth, while red light supports plant growth and flowering. An unbalanced spectrum will cause deformation, elongation, or a weak root system. We also provided enough far-red light (680+ nm) to enhance the photosynthetic efficiency of other wavelengths using a process called the Emerson effect.
Typical LED bulbs
used strictly for residential and commercial lighting create white light using only blue and yellow light (below). The lack of red light does not support healthy plant life.
Fluorescent lights (below)
are popular for small plants and starting seedlings. They often do not produce enough red light to support most plants. These bulbs also contain harmful mercury and have a short lifespan.
High-intensity discharge and metal-halide lights (right)
are popular bulbs used in large commercial grow operations. These bulbs consume the most electric and produce the highest amounts of light and heat. This results in very expensive electric bills for the entire life of each light.
Luxury Meets Utility
The level of precision that goes into developing an
effective grow light is of the upmost importance. The more precisely a spectrum pinpoints the most effective peaks for photosynthesis the less power it requires for plants to grow. The Aspect is capable of doing with a fraction of the watts that are typically required by traditional grow lights because of its precision. There is no need to sacrifice looks for performance. It’s effective, it’s beautiful – it’s the first luxury plant light.
