Cover Story: Horticulture Lighting Group - by MMM Report

If there is one common complaint that most indoor cultivators of cannabis have, it’s their energy bills.  Running enough lights (with adequate wattage) to cover all your plants with enough lumens to produce those beautiful, pungent buds of dank takes a lot of electricity.  A lot.  Many gardeners have tried several tricks to lower their energy costs.
One factor keeping cultivators from turning to LED lighting sources is the uncertain harvest results.  The LED lights on the market have not been able to produce consistent, bountiful results. Horticulture Light Group (HLG) has a solution.

The first ever LED high density modular light for horticulture.

HLG wants to empower growers with the world’s highest efficiency, reliable and affordable LED horticulture lamps.

Northern Grow Lights (NGL) (est. 2015) was the first company to introduce Pin Heatsinks for Horticulture lighting. Pin Heatsinks enabled new lighting designs with less weight and reliable passive cooling. They were also the first company to promote splayed Pin heatsinks, SSTX for superior COB cooling. Eventually NGL introduced Citizen COB to help lower cost for horticulture lighting.

Johnson Grow Lights (JGL) (est. 2015) was the first company to introduce forced Air cooled LED based fixtures called Maximizer. This designed offered the advantage of significantly cutting down the cooling requirements for grow space. JGL was the first company to offer high efficiency COB based LED fixtures at retail locations.

In 2016 JGL and NGL merged together and founded Horticulture Lighting Group. With the combined expertise and experience HLG designed the first high density modular light engine for horticulture. Quantum Boards have created a new revolution in the horticulture lighting industry by not only improving the efficiency standard of white light in horticulture but also by making efficiency affordable.


LED lighting is an industry full of growth and potential and HLG wants to be the manufactures to lead the way.  HLG plans to continue innovating. They plan to launch a newer version of their light modules with an even higher efficiency, with optics and higher levels of production quality.

Let’s make that jump and begin saving on our energy bills.  HLG is shinning its pure white light on the path of saving the green to produce the green.
