Luminaires and lighting design that bring greenery into interiors – developed on the basis of scientific research into ornamental indoor plants. For strong plants and greater wellbeing.
Without light, even the best care will not help. For photosynthesis, plants need a minimum amount of light in the right spectrum – and for enough hours per day. That is exactly where we come in.
Atrium, basement, zones far from windows: to the eye it looks bright, for the plant it is darkness. Just a few metres from the window the usable amount of light drops dramatically.
Yellow leaves, long thin growth, bare patches: typical signs of a lack of light – not of too little water or fertiliser. Replanting then happens on a yearly cycle.
The planting is planned, the light is not. Many standard luminaires do not provide enough photosynthetically active radiation for ornamental indoor plants.
Architectural luminaires with specially developed light spectra for ornamental indoor plants – for track, recessed and pendant mounting.
A clear process – you always know what we are working on and what matters.
Which plant species, what ceiling height, which location? We record the light requirement for each plant group and measure the available daylight on site.
Based on the project-specific parameters of the vigoro technology we calculate PPFD and DLI for your planting and derive the number of luminaires, their output and the operating hours.
Track, recessed or pendant – we choose the form, spectrum and beam angle so that lighting effect and architecture fit together.
We set the lighting hours and dimming and check again after the establishment phase – so the installation keeps performing as it should.
Lux describes how bright it is for the human eye. For plants, what counts is photosynthetically active radiation. That is why vigoro does not work with general guide values but with parameters defined individually for each project:
Our measurements show that even within a single installation the available amount of light differs markedly depending on position and distance from the luminaire. That is precisely why we plan every installation individually – instead of working with blanket target values.

Alongside irrigation and nutrients, the right light makes the decisive contribution to strong, lasting indoor planting. monolicht plans spectrum, light quantity and placement for your project.
