Looking to increase production while lowering operating costs? Discover how Bio Extra Solum, led by Vittorio Gariglio in Piedmont, built highly efficient indoor vertical farming systems. By integrating our LED grow lamps, he was able to stabilize plants growth, reduce greenhouse expenses, and optimize inputs such as water and fertilizers. With a compact design and excellent LED efficiency, our AE32 lamps revolutionized his basil cultivation process. This case study shows how vertical integration and LED lighting for growing plants can transform the performance of hydroponic farms and create scalable, sustainable agriculture models. It highlights the benefits of vertical farming powered by next-gen technology and real-world grower insight.

To meet year-round market demand without compromising quality, Mr. Gariglio created a fully enclosed vertical farming system using hydroponic technology. The goal was to maintain consistent basil growth across every cycle, with deep green leaves as a quality benchmark. In this controlled environment, every variable—light, humidity, temperature, and nutrients—is carefully regulated. The greatest challenge was replacing natural light with high-performance artificial lighting to stimulate photosynthesis effectively. With our LED grow lamps, Bio Extra Solum achieved uniform growth, excellent color, and healthy development across all crops. This approach demonstrates the critical role of LED lighting for growing plants in modern hydroponic farming and proves how lighting precision directly affects crop success.

The basil indoor vertical farm consists of six racks, each with four levels, designed for high-density plants shelves. To ensure full-spectrum lighting across all levels, we installed our ultra-slim AE32 lamps, perfect for greenhouse shelving and low-voltage environments. These fixtures emit a finely tuned LED lighting spectrum, stimulating healthy plants growth from seedling to harvest. Benefits included:

• The right amount of light for every level of the structure.
• Consistent growth across all shelves.
• A vibrant green color, indicative of healthy, high-quality plants.

This modular lighting setup enables scalable production in compact spaces, improving the efficiency of vertical farming technology while minimizing energy waste. AE32 has proven to be the ideal solution for enclosed hydroponic systems where light matters most.
