Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, is proud to announce the outstanding success that Equinox Growers has achieved in their leafy greens production using Philips LED toplighting force.
Located in Louisa, Virginia, Equinox Growers has seen significant improvements in crop quality, consistency, and production efficiency since implementing the Philips horticulture LED lighting solution.
Equinox Growers selected Philips LED toplighting force as part of their commitment to innovation and excellence in controlled environment agriculture. With a mission to deliver fresh, high-quality leafy greens to their customers year-round, the grower sought a lighting partner that could provide not only a superior product but also long-term reliability and stability.
“Choosing the Philips brand was an easy decision for us,” said John McMahon, Equinox Growers. “We wanted to partner with a company that is stable, reliable, and offers the highest-quality products and strong support. We needed a partner who would be here not just today, but in one year, five years, and ten years. Signify and the Philips brand horticulture LED solutions embody those qualities, and the results have been outstanding.”

Philips LED toplighting force is designed to deliver high light output with energy efficiency, making it the perfect solution for leafy greens, herbs, and other high-density crops. Its tailored light spectra and uniform light distribution help growers optimize photosynthesis, improve plant quality, and maintain consistent yields throughout the year. For Equinox Growers, the adoption of this cutting-edge technology has allowed them to meet growing demand while keeping sustainability and operational efficiency at the forefront.

“Equinox Growers is a great example of how innovative lighting solutions can transform the horticulture industry,” said Michael Hanan, Sales Leader for the North America Philips LED lighting team. “We are thrilled to see how our Philips LED toplighting force has enabled Equinox to achieve their goals of producing superior-quality leafy greens while maintaining a sustainable approach. Our shared commitment to innovation and reliability creates a strong foundation for a long-term partnership.”
The success of Equinox Growers underscores the importance of working with trusted partners who understand the unique challenges of modern horticulture. With Philips brand LED lighting, growers can count on the company’s expertise of almost 20 years of dedicated product development and horticulture research, proven track record of delivering value in horticulture lighting, and Signify’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology that drives real results.
As Equinox Growers continues to scale their operations and expand their reach, they remain confident in their decision to partner with Signify. By investing in Philips LED toplighting force, they have not only enhanced their production capabilities but also set a new standard for excellence in leafy greens cultivation.
