The market of plant grow lights was full of cold, medical-looking designs.

I wanted to bring warmth and personality, and I envisioned a mushroom growing out of the plant pot. Early factory prototypes used purple LEDs, but my research showed that separate red, blue, and white were needed LEDs give effective light for plant growth. I collaborated closely with the packaging team to ensure the box and instruction sheet clearly communicated the light’s unique features, automatic timer funcitons, and light temperature range.

I experimented with a natural copper-colored stem but we switched to stainless steel to maintain rust resistance for a longer life. The result is a novel fungi grow light unlike anything else out there!
