Unlock the power of precision spectrum control with the Advanced Spectrum Tuning Lab, designed to give students hands-on experience with light-driven plant physiology, energy efficiency, and controlled environment agriculture. Using the Alina Spectrum-Tunable System, educators can simulate real-world lighting conditions, allowing for deep exploration into how light spectrum impacts plant growth, development, and biochemical processes. The Syrcadia software supplied with the package (PC running Windows® 10 or newer not included) provides controls that allow students to create and record light recipes, schedule the day length and trigger lighting states automatically using a recorded day plan. Day plans can be combined into a crop plan for a full growth cycle.
