CoreStarLite Smart Greenhouse Experimental Facility Achieves Milestone Results: Proprietary Supplemental Lighting and Intelligent Control System Demonstrate Significant Yield Increase
    Recently, CoreStarLite's self-built smart greenhouse experimental facility completed a planting verification experiment spanning over eight months, with all test objectives successfully achieved. The results show that the use of the company's self-developed Mars Series 1 plant supplemental lighting fixtures​ and StarLink intelligent control system​ increased tomato and cucumber yields by 50% compared to outdoor cultivation, and by 30% compared to traditional high-pressure sodium (HPS) supplemental lighting solutions, while fruit quality was simultaneously and significantly improved. These results provide solid data support and practical evidence for the company's delivery of complete cultivation solutions to commercial clients.
 


I. Experimental Background and Objectives 
    To comprehensively validate the overall performance of its plant supplemental lighting products and intelligent control system, CoreStarLite constructed a dedicated smart greenhouse experimental facility and conducted systematic verification across the following five dimensions:
    1.Spectral Efficacy Validation​ – To assess the growth-promoting effect of the Mars Series 1 light spectrum formula under real cultivation conditions;
    2.Luminaire Reliability Validation​ – To test long-term operational stability, luminous flux maintenance, and service life of the fixtures;
    3.Wireless Control System Validation​ – To evaluate the reliability and long-term operational stability of the wireless control link;
    4.StarLink Integrated Solution Validation​ – To verify the coordinated scheduling capability of integrated cultivation parameters including temperature and humidity control, CO₂ supplementation, and water-fertilizer delivery; 
    5.Solution Accumulation and Optimization​ – To accumulate practical data for subsequent end-to-end cultivation solutions for clients, and to continuously refine technical solutions and service capabilities.

II. Lighting Equipment Configuration in the Smart Greenhouse Experimental Facility 
    (A) Mars Series 1 Top-Light Lamp (Model: LH-CS-T1000900100)
     This fixture is a self-developed product with the following key technical specifications:
     1.Spectrum Ratio: Blue 5% (400–500 nm), Green 9% (500–600 nm), Red 78% (600–700 nm), Far-Red 8% (700–800 nm). This ratio was determined through multiple rounds of customer planting trials and represents the current optimal light spectrum formula;
     2.Photosynthetic Photon Efficacy (PPE): 3.6 μmol/J;
     3.Control Method: Supports dual-channel independent wireless control of RED/BLUE/GREEN and Far-Red, with remote adjustment via a mobile app; 
     4.Operating Mode: Constant illuminance auto-pilot. The system uses an illuminance sensor to collect real-time natural light data and automatically adjusts fixture on/off status and output power based on a preset target value, ensuring that the total illuminance inside the greenhouse remains constant.


   (B) 100W UV Supplemental Light (Primary Wavelength: 390–410 nm)
     1.Functional Positioning: Supplements the UV light spectrum to stimulate chlorophyll synthesis, inhibit plant elongation (etiolation), and improve plant compactness;
     2.Plant Protection Effect: Kills insect eggs, reduces pest and disease incidence, and enhances plant resistance; 
     3.Operation Strategy: Set to activate during fixed nighttime hours, forming a day-night coordinated supplemental lighting mechanism with the top-light fixtures.


III. Experimental Results and Conclusions 
     After over eight months of continuous planting and data monitoring, the experimental facility achieved the following core results:
 


     Experimental Conclusions:
     1.The Mars Series 1 spectrum ratio demonstrated excellent growth-promoting effects in real cultivation, and the PPE of 3.6 μmol/J was fully validated; 
     2.The constant illuminance auto-pilot mode achieves precise maintenance of the light environment while significantly reducing the need for manual intervention;
     3.The StarLink intelligent control system successfully realized a closed-loop integration of light environment, environmental parameters, and nutrient delivery, with system stability and reliability meeting commercial deployment standards; 
     4.The addition of UV supplemental lighting delivered the expected benefits in plant morphology regulation and pest/disease prevention.

IV. Next Steps
    CoreStarLite will continue to adhere to its technical philosophy of "customer-centricity and cost reduction with efficiency gains,"​ and will keep iterating and optimizing its light spectrum formulas and intelligent control systems. The practical data and operational experience accumulated from this experiment will be directly applied to the design and implementation of future commercial projects, ensuring that every cultivation solution delivered to clients is backed by empirically verified technical reliability and economic viability.
