Key Takeaways
- Ledgnd will unveil the integration of Aranet’s new Light Spectrum sensor into its MyLedgnd platform at GreenTech Amsterdam 2025.
- The sensor measures light spectrum data from 350–950 nm, going beyond standard PAR sensors (400–700 nm).
- Real-time data enables growers to optimize lighting strategies, enhance crop quality, and improve energy efficiency.
- The platform helps users visualize greenhouse conditions, combining light, climate, and plant response data.
- Live demonstrations will take place at Ledgnd (02.231) and Aranet (01.625) booths during the event.
Ledgnd Integrates Light Spectrum Sensor into MyLedgnd Platform
At GreenTech Amsterdam 2025, Ledgnd, a Netherlands-based company specializing in light and data integration for greenhouse horticulture, will officially launch the integration of Aranet’s Light Spectrum sensor into its MyLedgnd platform. The announcement coincides with the debut of Aranet’s new sensor, developed by SAF Tehnika, designed to deliver real-time spectral data across the 350–950 nm range.
Growers using the MyLedgnd platform can now access granular insights into both light intensity and color composition, enabling them to adjust lighting strategies with greater precision.
Real-Time Spectrum Data for Targeted Lighting Strategies
From Basic PAR to Advanced Light Intelligence
Traditional PAR sensors only measure light in the 400–700 nm range, which limits understanding of how crops interact with light. Aranet’s Light Spectrum sensor captures a broader spectrum and delivers minute-by-minute data using long-range wireless technology.
Ledgnd’s integration allows growers to visualize this expanded data, helping them fine-tune lighting intensity and spectral mix to align with specific crop needs. This not only improves crop development and yield but also supports energy savings by enabling more accurate dimming schedules.
Enhanced Control and Sustainability
Reducing Energy Use and Extending LED Lifespan
As more greenhouse operators transition to LED lighting, the need for precise data has grown. The MyLedgnd platform processes sensor input to give growers a clearer picture of how different lighting scenarios affect plant growth. By tailoring light conditions, growers can reduce energy consumption, extend fixture lifespan, and manage crop quality more effectively.
According to Ledgnd, the combination of spectral data and plant feedback in one interface makes it easier to track how crops respond to both light and climate.

The wireless sensor can be installed anywhere in the greenhouse and offers a battery life of several years. Data collected can be accessed through Aranet Cloud, MyLedgnd, or integrated with existing climate control systems.
Ledgnd (booth 02.231) and Aranet (booth 01.625) will showcase live demonstrations during GreenTech Amsterdam, taking place from June 10 to 12.
