Algae Farm, a company which produces algae through indoor cultivation for the nutraceutical, cosmetic and renewable energy market sectors, is implementing the LED based horticultural lighting at its facility based on the Houston Advanced Research Center campus in The Woodlands, Texas. LumiGrow, Inc., based out of USA, is said to provide the LED product. The LumiGrow system was selected  to promote superior yields at a fraction of the cost of fluorescent lighting. Using this lighting, the company is expected to save $400,000 in the first year following the installation. Algae Farm also avoids the release of mercury into the environment, a toxic waste hazard inherent to fluorescent lighting.
