2025PEL™ Power over Ethernet Lighting Technology
Precision-Controlled Agricultural Illumination for the Future of Food Production
The 2025PEL™ Power over Ethernet (PoE) Lighting System, developed and manufactured by A4 Systems Corporation, represents a breakthrough in the integration of advanced photonic engineering and agricultural science. Distributed exclusively by G & G Lighting Inc., this high-efficiency lighting technology is engineered to deliver unprecedented precision, energy efficiency, and control in controlled environment agriculture (CEA) applications.
At its core, the 2025PEL™ system merges digital power delivery with spectral optimization—enabling growers to harness the full biological potential of light. By operating through Power over Ethernet, each fixture receives both power and data through a single cable, dramatically simplifying installation, reducing energy loss, and allowing granular control over spectral composition and light intensity at every node. This digital backbone transforms traditional horticultural lighting into an intelligent, networked system that can dynamically adapt to the specific needs of plants across all growth stages.
Engineering Excellence in Spectral Control
Unlike conventional LED grow lights that prioritize brightness or general efficiency, the 2025PEL™ system is designed to manipulate light at the quantum level—where the number, wavelength, and distribution of photons directly determine photosynthetic and photomorphogenic responses. The system uses finely tuned wavelengths across five key spectral zones:
- Blue (450–460 nm) for chlorophyll activation, stomatal regulation, and vegetative strength.
- Green (520–530 nm) for canopy penetration and uniform leaf photosynthesis.
- Red (620–630 nm) for photosynthetic acceleration and flowering initiation.
- Deep Red (650–670 nm) for fruiting energy and carbohydrate synthesis.
- Far Red (720–740 nm) for shade response modulation and stem elongation control.
Each wavelength can be independently controlled to create custom light recipes, optimizing growth for different crops or plant development stages. For example, leafy greens benefit from blue and green emphasis, while flowering and fruiting crops thrive under elevated red and deep red ratios.
Power over Ethernet Efficiency and Simplicity
The use of Power over Ethernet (PoE) represents a fundamental shift in how agricultural lighting is deployed and managed. Instead of relying on high-voltage AC circuits and dedicated wiring infrastructure, PoE allows low-voltage DC power and data to be transmitted through standard Ethernet cabling.
This innovation provides several tangible advantages:
- Ease of Installation: No electrical permits or high-voltage wiring required. Fixtures plug directly into network switches, simplifying deployment and reconfiguration.
- Safety and Reliability: Operating at low voltage minimizes electrical risk and eliminates heat from power conversion losses.
- Centralized Digital Control: Every luminaire becomes an addressable network device—allowing software control of intensity, spectrum, scheduling, and diagnostics.
- Scalability: Modular PoE networks can be easily expanded without overhauling electrical systems, making them ideal for greenhouses, vertical farms, and research facilities.
By merging light, data, and power into a single intelligent infrastructure, 2025PEL™ dramatically reduces energy consumption while providing a level of precision automation previously achievable only in high-end laboratory settings.
Close Canopy Performance and Thermal Stability
One of the defining engineering breakthroughs of the 2025PEL™ is its close-canopy compatibility. Conventional horticultural lighting often requires large separation distances to prevent heat stress or optical intensity damage to plants. In contrast, the 2025PEL™ system operates safely at just 5 cm from the plant canopy—a range traditionally considered too close for effective PPFD measurement using standard ASABE S640 techniques.
At this ultra-close distance, the 2025PEL™ system demonstrated mean PPFD values of 670–890 µmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ per wavelength band, achieving uniformity ratios approaching 1.0—meaning each photon is evenly distributed across the canopy. These results confirm that 2025PEL™ not only delivers higher photon flux but does so with near-perfect homogeneity.
Equally important is its thermal stability. The system runs at ambient room temperature, allowing plants to “hug” the lights without risk of heat damage. This enables denser crop spacing, vertical stacking, and optimal light utilization, which translates to higher yield per cubic meter of growing volume—an essential advantage for space-limited indoor farms.
Intelligent Design for Advanced Plant Science
A4 Systems engineered the 2025PEL™ to be more than just a lighting fixture—it’s a scientific instrument designed for data-driven agriculture. Built with precision optics, narrow beam angles (60°, 90°, 120°), and a digitally tunable output, the system allows researchers and growers to integrate real-time feedback loops into their growing environments.
Paired with quantum sensors such as the Apogee MQ-610 Quantum Flux meter, growers can monitor photon flux density (PPFD) at micro-resolution, adjusting the spectrum dynamically to maintain target DLI (Daily Light Integral) values.
Key operational capabilities include:
- Real-time spectrum adjustment to synchronize with photoperiods and crop cycles.
- Integration with automation platforms through Ethernet APIs or cloud control interfaces.
- Energy analytics dashboards for tracking power efficiency and photon efficacy.
- Remote firmware updates enabling long-term scalability and adaptability.
This data-centric architecture positions 2025PEL™ as the foundation for AI-assisted agriculture, where autonomous control algorithms can modulate lighting recipes in response to live environmental and plant-growth data.
Standards and Compliance
The 2025PEL™ system has been designed and tested under ASABE S640, DesignLights Consortium (DLC) horticultural guidelines, and CEA best practices for PPFD measurement and uniformity. All data were collected using a 10×10 cm grid over a 1 m² area, providing precise modeling of light distribution across real agricultural conditions.
A4 Systems’ adherence to these standards ensures repeatable, verifiable performance for commercial operations and scientific validation. It also positions 2025PEL™ as a candidate for inclusion in government and utility rebate programs that recognize DLC-certified energy-efficient technologies.
Economic and Environmental Advantages
Beyond the measurable technical performance, 2025PEL™ provides profound economic and sustainability benefits:
- Energy Efficiency: Up to 40% energy savings compared to traditional LED drivers by eliminating AC-DC conversion losses.
- Lower Maintenance: Modular plug-and-play fixtures simplify replacement and eliminate ballast failures.
- Sustainability: Reduced material footprint and full recyclability of Ethernet cabling infrastructure.
- Operational Cost Savings: Lower power draw reduces HVAC cooling loads, while intelligent dimming extends LED lifespan.
The combination of digital efficiency, precise photon control, and low environmental impact makes 2025PEL™ the ideal lighting solution for next-generation farms, whether in vertical rack systems, hydroponic greenhouses, or advanced CEA research facilities.
Future-Ready Agricultural Lighting
The agricultural sector is entering a new era defined by precision agriculture, electrification, and digital intelligence. The 2025PEL™ system stands at this intersection—bridging plant biology, photonics, and IoT-driven automation. It’s not simply a light source; it’s a platform for innovation.
By enabling precise management of the four critical light parameters—quantity (PPFD), duration (DLI), quality (spectrum), and distribution (uniformity)—the 2025PEL™ system empowers growers to produce healthier plants, faster yields, and superior quality crops year-round.
Whether deployed in research greenhouses, vertical farms, or high-tech food production facilities, 2025PEL™ is the technological foundation for sustainable, data-driven, and profitable agriculture.
