Advancing plant research through light.
Valoya was born from a genuine curiosity about how plants respond to light and a desire to translate that understanding into practical solutions. Over the years, this curiosity has driven the development of a portfolio of patented light spectra and a range of LED luminaire form factors, now used in both global crop science research and commercial cultivation.
Yet the journey is far from complete: innovation continues, and Valoya remains committed to pushing the boundaries of plant lighting, helping researchers and growers achieve greater precision, efficiency, and reproducibility.
Valoya conducts primary research in its own growth chambers, where light spectra and plant responses are tested under controlled conditions. This in-house research allows precise measurement, repeatability, and validation before translating findings to real-world cultivation.
We partner with leading research institutions, including the University of Helsinki and the Natural Resources Institute of Finland (LUKE), to advance plant science. Collaborative studies expand the scope of our experiments and generate insights that guide both scientific understanding and practical applications in horticulture.
Valoya provides its lighting solutions to universities and research institutes worldwide for independent trials. Data from these studies feed back into our research, helping us refine lighting strategies and support growers with evidence-based guidance for more reliable and efficient cultivation.
In plant science and commercial cultivation, meaningful results depend on consistency. Without standardized light spectra and performance, outcomes cannot be reliably compared, repeated, or scaled.
Valoya’s lighting solutions adhere to the horticultural lighting industry’s most rigorous spectrum quality standards which is why they are used in the growth chambers and greenhouses of leading crop science companies, universities, research institutes, and commercial cultivation facilities worldwide.
Reliable, Repeatable Results
Standardized light ensures experiments and cultivation trials can be trusted and replicated consistently.
Transferable Research
Lab findings translate seamlessly to outdoor and commercial cultivation, enabling scalable, real-world impact.
Long-Term Consistency
Standardization guarantees the same spectral quality now and years into the future, enabling long-term studies and reliable comparisons over time.
Valoya is the most published horticultural lighting provider, with over 200 peer-reviewed articles to date. These studies, conducted in collaboration with universities and research institutes worldwide, demonstrate the scientific rigor and real-world impact of our lighting solutions across a wide range of crops and cultivation environments.
Check back soon for our upcoming Academic Article Search Tool, designed to make it easy to explore all research conducted with Valoya lighting solutions. You’ll be able to filter by crop, spectrum, and study type, allowing you to quickly find existing protocols and reference them in your own work. This tool will help researchers save time, compare results, and build on established knowledge with confidence.
Over 150 university and research institute partnerships.
Our collaborations with the academia provide independent validation of our lighting solutions, contribute to peer-reviewed publications, and generate insights that also help us better understand the interaction of plants and light.
Valoya welcomes researchers and institutions to collaborate on trials and studies with our lighting solutions. Whether for controlled experiments, long-term crop studies, or applied research, our fixtures and expertise can support scientific discovery and practical cultivation alike.
