JumpLights was recently featured in a special Grow World panel filmed live at MJBizCon 2025 in Las Vegas, where industry leaders came together to build a 2026 Under Canopy Lighting Buyer’s Guide for commercial cannabis operators and facility decision-makers.
The episode brought together top lighting manufacturers from across the industry to discuss what truly separates modern under-canopy lighting systems—from optical design and spectrum control to modularity, waterproofing, installation efficiency, and long-term ROI. Representing JumpLights on the panel was Ryley Leech, Vice President of Sales, who shared insights on how under-canopy lighting is evolving and what growers should be demanding from today’s technology.
Rather than focusing on marketing claims, the Grow World discussion centered on what actually drives results in real cultivation environments. Topics included light penetration into the middle and lower canopy, the importance of optics and beam angles, modular wattage and daisy-chaining for large facilities, durability in washdown environments, and how to evaluate true performance through side-by-side trials.
Ryley also spoke to how JumpLights approaches under-canopy lighting with a systems-level mindset—designing fixtures that integrate cleanly into facilities, reduce downtime, and deliver measurable gains in both yield and quality. The conversation highlighted why data-driven trials, energy efficiency, and service support are becoming just as important as fixture specs when operators make capital decisions.
As under-canopy lighting rapidly becomes a standard part of high-performance grow rooms, the Grow World panel made it clear: success in 2026 and beyond will depend on better optics, smarter system design, and technology that is proven in real facilities, not just on paper. JumpLights is proud to be part of that conversation and to help shape the future of how light is delivered where plants need it most.
