LED grow lighting

Grow lights play a key role in maintaining healthy, resilient greens. When natural sunlight and warmth are limited, they stimulate photosynthesis, the essential process that drives growth and recovery. SGL Golf’s LED grow lighting technology is the latest innovation in turf management, helping greenkeepers achieve consistently high-quality grass while supporting sustainable maintenance practices.

Optimal greens

Optimal turf growth depends on the right balance of light and temperature. SGL Golf’s LED systems let greenkeepers adjust light and heat independently, matching conditions precisely to the grass’s needs. Sensors continuously monitor surface temperature, and the system adds heat automatically when required, ensuring healthy, resilient greens even when sunlight is limited or weather is unpredictable.

Efficient performance

By matching light and heat precisely to the grass’s needs, SGL Golf helps greenkeepers optimise growth while reducing energy use. Built-in sensors ensure heat is only applied when necessary, saving up to 43% energy in warm conditions or under covered areas. Independent control of light and heat lets greenkeepers manage each unit efficiently, supporting healthy turf and sustainable maintenance.

Optimised light spectrum

Grass relies on different colours of light to drive photosynthesis, with some wavelengths supporting growth more efficiently than others. By understanding this, greenkeepers can influence both root and shoot development, ensuring healthy, resilient greens. Each colour also requires a different amount of energy, making the choice of spectrum crucial for both performance and efficiency.

SGL Golf’s LED technology enables the creation of a precise “light recipe,” allowing greenkeepers to select specific colours and ratios to match the grass’s needs. Since 2008, our Research & Innovation Centre has refined these light recipes, resulting in the most effective and energy-efficient spectrum for consistent, high-quality turf worldwide.

Advanced grow lighting technology

SGL Golf’s LED grow lights are designed in-house, developed to meet the exact needs of turf management. Our agronomy and development teams work together to continuously refine the technology, ensuring optimal growth performance and ease of use.

Each LED fixture is built from scratch, based on over a decade of research. With uniform light distribution and precise control of spectrum and intensity, the lights deliver superior grass growth, consistent quality, and maximum energy efficiency in any conditions.
