We don't have spectral tuning functionality at the moment but it's something we are working on. A number of customers growing fruiting/flowering plants have asked for this sort of spectral control. For non-fruiting plants there seems to be less of a demand. We plan on having a next gen remote phosphor design with spectral control within the next 12 months.

thanks for your response.
i would imagine spectral controls to be less useful for leafy greens. will the spectral controls be remote controllable? ie; an api over some type of wifi connection?
with the legalization of marijuana already happening in some states and pending in many others, the lighting industry is full of fluff right now and too many players... will be interesting to see who stands, who falls and who M&A. I think many growers will stick to HIDs until someone can prove LEDs, Plasma or induction not only delivery the same quality product, but can actually do it cycle after cycle, these 50k hour guarantees are suspicious at best.
