Lighting — Purpose & App Modes

Why light matters

Light is required for mushroom development cues (pinning, orientation). It's not for photosynthesis, but for consistent, even growth.

App Control Modes

Emotional

Adaptive visuals that reflect the system's status and the selected species' health indicators—at-a-glance feedback while your grow runs.

Animation

A gallery of 30+ light animations for ambient, dynamic effects without disrupting growth cues.

Manual

Set a fixed color and brightness to your preference for steady, uniform illumination.

SMART Behavior (Species-Aware)

When you select a mushroom species and the control mode is SMART, the system follows that profile automatically. If the chosen species does not require light, the lights will not turn on.

Tip:
For the most even results, keep lighting uniform across the canopy and avoid harsh, single-direction glare.
