Vegetable cultivation under lamps
Home vegetable cultivation under lamps is becoming an increasingly popular way to utilize limited space in urban areas for obtaining fresh food. This is driven by the growing awareness among consumers regarding the impact of diet on health and the associated demand for organic food products. There is also a noticeable increase in customer expectations regarding production that is not only more "green" but also local, as it reduces long-distance deliveries and their impact on climate change.
Growing vegetables under Bilberry lamps means significantly lower consumption of valuable resources. Our devices demonstrate up to 40% savings in electricity compared to the commonly used sodium lighting. Additionally, due to the heat generated by HPS lamps, a large distance must be maintained between the light source and the plants. The use of LED technology in the design of Bilberry fixtures means that the fixtures do not need to be placed high above the seedlings. We offer three mounting options: on straps, chains, and easyroll lines.
Bilberry's proprietary devices will enable the cultivation of vegetables under lights even without natural light, accelerating growth and optimizing plant yields. Directly in urban areas, the cultivation of species not adapted to our local weather conditions becomes achievable.
Growing vegetables under lamps – let's create a microclimate for your seedlings together!
By choosing Bilberry devices, you are opting for the latest achievements in science and the experience of horticultural production practitioners. Our fixtures have been developed with the participation of researchers from the Institute of Plant Breeding and Acclimatization of the National Research Institute, Martin Luther University in Halle and Wittenberg, and the Leibniz Institute of Biochemistry. We also collaborate with JMP Flowers R&D Center, the Krasoń Seedling Producers Group, and Icon Genetics.
With Bilberry, you can have your own garden all year round. Growing vegetables under lights can be done anywhere, even in a big city. We have adjusted the sizes of our devices to fit popular grow boxes.
The entire system is controlled through a direct panel or wireless communication. With the use of a free application, it is easy to control the spectrum or intensity of light. The spectrum set for vegetable cultivation under lamps, developed by Bilberry, has been thoroughly tested by biotechnologists. Spectra can be individually tailored to each plant species to precisely meet their needs in their current growth phase.
Example implementations
Agricultural and Horticultural Farm Ryszard Prus
Ryszard Prus Agricultural and Horticultural Farm is famous for its high-quality raspberry tomatoes from the Kalisz region. Last season, the farm decided to test Bilberry fixtures. They were tested on two spectra B1P(1) and B1P(3). The results showed a 15% increase in tomato weight with a 30% energy savings.
Nowacki Ornamental Trees and Shrubs Nursery
In Mr. Zbigniew Nowacki's greenhouse, HORTI STANDARD 340W fixtures were installed. Three spectra were tested - specially selected and examined for rose cultivation. The flowers collected under the chosen spectra exhibited proper morphology, and the greatest advantage of this implementation was the significant energy savings. The power consumption of the HORTI fixtures was 45% lower than that of standard sodium lamps.
Roman Ślosarczyk Horticultural Farm
Together with the E&R Ślosarczyk Horticultural Farm, we conducted research to determine the appropriate intensity of umol/m2s for the optimal growth of Hoya. After the tests were completed, Mr. Roman decided to continue discussions regarding further research using Bilberry fixtures with the highest amount of PPFD.
Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry
Second implementation at the Institute and another research chamber equipped with 40 pieces of HORTI fixtures.

Two HORTI fixtures used as lighting for ornamental plants in the institute's lobby.
Luther University Halle-Wittenberg
Our research partners
We conduct numerous studies in collaboration with various institutions to further dynamically develop our product. Thanks to research at our R&D CENTER and cooperation with the Institute of Plant Breeding and Acclimatization – a State Research Institute, we have so far tested the effects of 40 spectra on over 160 plants. We also collaborate with the JMP Flowers R&D Center, where we have tested a total of 15 spectra on orchids and roses. Our lamps are being tested by the largest vegetable seedling producer in Poland – the Krasoń Seedling Producers Group. Additionally, we cooperate with Martin Luther University in Halle and Wittenberg, the Leibniz Institute of Biochemistry, and Icon Genetics.
