Abstract: In general, one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a horticulture lighting device having a plurality of LED light channels that may be selectively energized to produce a predefined light pattern. Each of the LED light channels may emit one or more wavelengths and may be pulsed at a rate that may be imperceivable to a human eye, e.g., at 120 Hz to 720 Hz.
