Optimal growth requires the right spectrum at each stage of plant development. Most horticultural LEDs run a single static spectrum throughout the cycle. Photophil Dynamix's protocol shifts the spectrum across germination, flowering, and ripening stages to optimize growth. Sensors and machine learning identify the plant's current stage and adjust the program in real time.

The Spectrum Gap
Electricity is 30% of your operating cost. Your yield isn't keeping up.
Vertical farming was supposed to feed the world. Ten years in, 90% of it still grows lettuce
Because the crops that justify the energy bill need more light, more time, and more cycles than the unit economics can carry.
The industry treats this as a hardware problem. It isn’t. The bottleneck isn’t how much light hits the canopy. It’s which light.
Most mainstream grow lights stop in the near-infrared.
They cover the visible range that drives photosynthesis plus a thin slice beyond it. The deeper infrared range is left out.
Sunlight at sea level reaches well past it, and plants evolved under that full spectrum. Those deeper bands are not negligible: they drive cell expansion, sugar accumulation, and the post-sunset signalling that tells a plant when to flower and when to ripen.
The bands the industry leaves out aren't an incremental boost. They're where the second half of your yield lives.
Our system fills that gap. We layer in measured intensities across the deeper infrared, chosen because those bands sit in transmission windows where water inside the leaf absorbs less light, so the energy penetrates plant tissue rather than being captured at the surface.
In our own trial, strawberry plants grown with the full IR layer produced nearly twice the fruit weight of plants grown with a system that stopped in the near-infrared.

And Data-Backed Answers
Measured. The strawberry trial ran for 13 weeks in three independent grow chambers using a six-cell comparative design, with infrared intensities measured by an ILT5000 photometer with a 750 nm cut-off filter. Cell-by-cell data is available on our results page. The technology earned a grant from the Israel Innovation Authority on the strength of that data.
The protocol is engineered around the flowering and ripening stages, so it transfers cleanly to other fruiting crops, soft fruits, and pharma-grade botanicals where the same biology drives yield. For leafy or herb crops, the mechanism is different and the relevant data comes from earlier basil and lettuce trials. The pilot is the cleanest way to find out for your specific crop and cultivar.
The pilot runs as side-by-side cells against your existing setup, so no retrofit is required. For full deployment, the protocol needs the right wavelengths to be available, and most mainstream horticultural LEDs cap at 850 nm and won’t deliver the IR bands the protocol depends on. Photophil’s controller is being developed to drive third-party fixtures where the spectrum is compatible.
IR intensities are kept deliberately low and ramped gradually, specifically to avoid heat stress and circadian disruption. The post-sunset programme runs at intensities well below daylight, with cooling fans on the rigs. The trial saw no heat-related crop damage across 13 weeks.
Photophil isn’t a fixture vendor. The patent-pending IP is the protocol itself: the wavelength recipe, the timing, and the controller that delivers them. That IP can run through compatible fixtures over time. The company is grant-validated by the Israel Innovation Authority, embedded in the Israeli CEA ecosystem (Grow-Tec, Galgal HaOr, MIGAL), and led by a Weizmann-trained photosynthesis biologist with a published scientific advisor. The pilot is the right way to evaluate the protocol without committing to a vendor relationship.
Yes. The protocol and the controller are both patent-pending. Photophil owns its hardware-engineering stack through its CTO’s company, Galgal HaOr, and the science was grant-validated by the Israel Innovation Authority.
