In large-scale plant tissue culture production, lighting systems are typically required to operate continuously for long durations throughout the year, often providing 12–16 hours or more of daily illumination. Electricity consumption from lighting usually accounts for more than 30% of the total energy use in cultivation rooms, making it a major component of operating costs.

This high-energy consumption model not only increases daily operational pressure but also limits capacity expansion and profit margins. Therefore, the key challenge is how to effectively reduce supplemental lighting energy consumption while ensuring seedling growth quality-an essential step for enterprises seeking greater competitiveness.

PulseEco Tissue Culture Light: An Energy-Saving Strategy Aligned with Photosynthetic Rhythms

Long-term research and practice in plant lighting have shown that photosynthesis responds within seconds and does not require constant illumination throughout the entire process.

The PulseEco Tissue Culture Light solution applies this principle, combining the natural rhythm of photosynthesis with precise control strategies to reduce energy use:

√Dark reaction phase: Lights are switched off to reduce energy consumption and avoid resource waste.

√Light reaction phase: Lights automatically adjust to suitable intensity, meeting photosynthetic demand and supporting healthy seedling growth.

In trials with Phalaenopsis, potato, chrysanthemum, Anoectochilus roxburghii, and Dendrobium, the PulseEco solution not only reduced energy consumption by more than 50% but also maintained or even improved seedling growth performance, achieving genuine energy savings without compromising growth capacity.

Technical Advantages

High efficiency and energy savings: Intelligent regulation of photosynthetic rhythms enables electricity savings of over 50%.

High light-use efficiency: Delivers more effective photons per unit of power, improving energy utilization.

Optimized spectrum: Matches light quality to photosynthesis and morphogenesis requirements, supporting healthy growth.

Reliable operation: Provides consistent performance in long-duration culture environments.

Wide applicability: Suitable for a broad range of tissue culture crops including flowers and vegetables, with easy deployment and replacement.

Experimental Validation｜Phalaenopsis and Potato Tissue Culture

Phalaenopsis Tissue Culture - 58% Energy Savings, Stable Quality

In comparative tests between PulseEco and conventional tissue culture lights, energy use was reduced by up to 58%.

Key growth indicators-including plant height, leaf number, leaf length, and leaf width-were consistent with the control group. Seedlings remained compact, with vibrant green leaves and healthy overall growth.

1.Energy savings: Each bottle consumed only 0.09 kWh per month under the PulseEco system, compared with 0.23 kWh under conventional lighting. Reduced lighting demand also lowered environmental control costs.

2.Cost efficiency: Based on an electricity cost of RMB 1 per kWh, a 500 m² cultivation room could save about RMB 150,000 annually.

3.Stable growth: Key indicators (plant height, leaf number, fresh weight) matched conventional results, while root length was even superior (5.2 cm vs. 4.2 cm).

Equal quality, half the power consumption, with virtually no difference in seedling performance.

Potato Tissue Culture - 50% Energy Savings, Robust Seedlings

In potato tissue culture tests, PulseEco lights reduced energy consumption by about 50%.

Seedling height and leaf size were comparable to the control group, with strong stems, normal leaf color, and no signs of etiolation or chlorosis.

1.Energy savings: Each bottle consumed only 0.08 kWh per month under the PulseEco system, compared with 0.16 kWh under conventional lighting. Reduced lighting demand also lowered environmental control costs.

2.Cost efficiency: Based on an electricity cost of RMB 1 per kWh, a 500 m² cultivation room could save about RMB 150,000 annually.

3.Stable growth: Key growth indicators (plant height, stem diameter, fresh weight, and internode number) were consistent with conventional lighting.

Equal quality, half the power consumption, with virtually no difference in seedling performance.
