Why ThinkGrow
White-based Full Spectrum
Full-spectrum solutions are more cost-effective and productive than conventional narrow spectrum.
​
ThinkGrow’s white-based full-spectrum LEDs are 100% powered by SAMSUNG. SAMSUNG’s high-efficiency full-spectrum LEDs include a green spectrum in addition to red and blue, ensuring industry-leading performances in photosynthesis stimulation, disease prevention, and generation of utilizable bioactive compounds. Hence, it results in healthier and more balanced growth.
A green spectrum can penetrate deeper than blue or red light in the plant canopy due to its high transmittance, allowing light to reach the lower branches and leaves of the plant. Green light is also involved in a reverse defense mechanism that can be triggered by blue light, which influences flowering and morphogenesis. The influence of each wavelength region on photosynthesis is described in the following diagram.
Specifically Designed for Crops
A wide spectrum stimulates photosynthesis and plant growth
Samsung’s LED diodes offer a wide spectrum selection ranging from 450 nanometers blue to 730 nanometers far-red necessary for plant growth. They utilize the unique plant-centric spectrum by pumping the most suitable 437 nm wavelength for plant growth. The spectrum can change the way plants grow so it’s very important to design the correct spectrum. Samsung’s grow LEDs are specifically engineered for maximum photosynthesis that stimulates growth and phytonutrients while providing industry-leading PPE.
Superior Crop Quality Delivered
Plant-centric spectrum is suitable for both physical growth and nutrient enrichment
​
Samsung’s plant-centric spectrum LEDs offer the most energy-efficient solutions with industry-leading PPE. Unrivaled in quality they enable growers to cultivate more nutritious plants while saving energy. Plant-centric spectrum with a 437 nm peak wavelength improves cultivation productivity and harvests with superior crop quality. Overall crop quality is improved by enhancing taste, boosting crops or fruits ripeness, and maximizing nutritional values.
Maximum Plant Growth at Minimum Cost
Saving in Initial Investment
Accumulated cost is significantly lower than conventional LEDs
​
LEDs with high efficacy are essential to succeed in horticulture applications and Samsung satisfies that market demand by providing industry-leading robust efficacy (high PPF & PPF/W) LEDs. As a result, the accumulated cost of the horticulture lighting system for Samsung’s cost-effective full spectrum LEDs is significantly lower than HPS lighting, narrow-spectrum LEDs, and conventional full spectrum LEDs.
Saving in Operation Cost
Plant-centric spectrum LED boosts crops and lowers the cost
​
A huge amount of electrical energy consumption of LED luminaires can be reduced with industry-leading efficacious LEDs. Samsung’s white-based full spectrum LEDs outstandingly increase the yield of crops and bring down operation costs by reducing energy consumption with its best-in-class performances and high-efficacy LEDs. Samsung’s plant-centric lighting solution boosts maximum crops at the minimum cost.

Excellent Device Architecture for Durability
Flip Chip Technology
Extraordinary performance Flip Chip technology can prevent potential wire-open & blackout failure
​
Samsung pursues pioneer technologies that challenge traditional LED solutions. Its wire-free Flip Chip technology has shattered the industry’s conventional Epi-Up. It is a relatively new technology and involves mounting the chip upside down in the LED housing. This technology improves thermal dissipation and further reduces energy consumption compared to current LEDs, bringing the result of preventing potential wire-open and blackout failure.
Poor wire bonding structure and frequent on-off switching of traditional LEDs in the market can cause wire failure. Samsung utilizes wire-free Flip Chip technology to prevent this as the technology exhibits better thermal dissipation during frequent on-off switching and reduces wire failure. Samsung wire-free Flip Chip technology undoubtedly results in excellent heat management and remarkable luminous efficacy in higher current density conditions.
Exceptional Sulfur Resistance
Present superior sulfur resistance in farming conditions
​
Performance degradation can be caused by chemical exposure for example LEDs can be damaged by sulfur in a horticultural environment. Sulfur is one of six essential nutrients and is commonly contained in chemical fertilizers. Sulfur is also used as an acidifier to lower the pH level of the soil and is sometimes burned or vaporized for pest control and disinfection. If an LED is not appropriately designed, sulfur can react with the silver-lead frame inside the LED and reduce its performance, the chemical reaction creates a dark material and causes discoloration.
LEDs with protection schemes are more desirable. An IP rating of a fixture is not enough because ingress protection only applies to solids and liquids, not against gasses. Hence, the LED itself needs to be sturdy. Covering a TiO2 reflector is one of the solutions Samsung is using right now. Titanium dioxide around the light chip can present superior sulfur resistance in farming conditions, and hence, ensure higher durability and present excellent performance.
