The MITRA X C3 from Heliospectra represents a new generation of dynamic, multi-channel LED lighting designed specifically for growers and researchers who require precision, flexibility, and efficiency in controlled environment agriculture. With three independently adjustable spectral channels—base PAR, horti-white, and far-red—this highly customizable system enables growers to fine-tune light conditions throughout every growth stage, from early vegetative phases to fruiting. By integrating seamlessly with Heliospectra’s proprietary helioCORE™ software, MITRA X C3 transforms modern greenhouses into intelligent, responsive environments optimized for plant health, yield, and energy efficiency.
The C3's multi-channel architecture allows each spectrum to be tailored individually, giving growers the ability to adapt light recipes to match crop-specific requirements or evolving seasonal needs. Whether the goal is to stimulate flowering, improve photosynthesis, or support robust plant morphology, the spectrum can be adjusted on demand. Advanced efficiency capabilities allow the fixture to reallocate power from inactive channels to active ones, ensuring 100% operational performance at all times. With efficacy levels reaching up to 3.7 µmol/J, the MITRA X C3 offers one of the most energy-efficient solutions in the professional grow lighting market.
In addition to its horticultural benefits, MITRA X C3 contributes to overall greenhouse productivity with practical features like work-mode lighting. This functionality produces a whiter, more comfortable light environment for workers, improving visibility and ergonomics during harvesting and maintenance. It also plays a key role in enhancing pollination by optimizing light conditions for bumblebee activity—an essential function in vegetable and soft fruit production environments.
HelioCORE™ elevates the system’s capabilities by enabling dynamic zoning, allowing growers to divide the greenhouse into multiple zones and assign custom lighting strategies to each. This flexibility is particularly valuable when managing different crop varieties or production cycles in the same facility. With real-time spectrum control and energy monitoring tools, growers can optimize each grow zone independently, reduce energy consumption, and ensure consistent plant quality. The HelioCORE Spectrum Design Tool adds further ease and accuracy by allowing growers to create, adjust, and replicate light recipes quickly with full control over spectral ratios.
Designed with adaptability in mind, MITRA X C3 bridges the gap between fixed, Flex, and dynamic lighting systems. The broader MITRA X platform’s modular structure allows it to scale with the needs of each operation, whether it's a research facility requiring ultra-precise spectrum control or a large-scale commercial grower seeking energy savings and automation. By integrating dynamic lighting into the MITRA X platform, Heliospectra brings over a decade of Agtech and research experience into mainstream greenhouse cultivation.
The operational flexibility of MITRA X C3 goes beyond plant performance. The system provides seamless compatibility with existing greenhouse infrastructure and ERP systems, enabling growers to track energy usage, manage costs per production batch, and automate lighting schedules based on crop lifecycle or external factors like light availability and energy pricing. These intelligent adjustments minimize resource use and maximize output, delivering measurable return on investment.
With its three configurable channels—base PAR, horti-white, and far-red—MITRA X C3 gives growers an expansive palette of spectral combinations to support a wide range of cultivars and desired outcomes. Whether enhancing flowering with far-red, adjusting light temperature for plant development, or improving human work conditions, the system provides unmatched control. This balance between spectrum precision and operational practicality makes it a powerful tool for professional horticulturists aiming to future-proof their grow operations.
In summary, the MITRA X C3 is a dynamic LED grow light system that offers spectrum customization, operational efficiency, and intuitive integration with Heliospectra’s intelligent light management ecosystem. With up to 3.7 µmol/J efficacy, adaptive zone control, and modular expandability, it sets a new standard for precision horticulture, supporting consistent, high-quality plant production and streamlined energy use across every stage of growth.
