Patent number: 11849684Abstract: A plant-growing apparatus having a first plurality of lighting panels coupled to a track within an aisle having vertical arrangements of botanical plants along both sides of the aisle. Each lighting panel hangs at fixed location on the track and is rotatable around a vertical axis relative to the track. Some embodiments simultaneously rotate all of the first plurality of lighting panels to alternately face one or the other side of the aisle. Each panel has a front face from which light is emitted. A first plurality of LEDs on the front face of each panel each emits a light spectrum that appears one or more of blue, red, white, infrared, and/or green. Some panels may be unlit at times. Some embodiments provide a continuously variable spacing between the lit face and the plants and variable scheduled lighting periods and changeable spectra for various types and growth stages of plants.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2023Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: SunSpectrum Technologies, LLCInventors: Aaron J. Golle, John T. Golle, David T. Iago
