US (MI): Case study Illumitex LED lights at Green Spirit Farms

Just a few minutes’ drive off Exit 1 in the idyllic lakeside village of New Buffalo, Michigan, hums a cutting-edge vertical farm that supplies fresh produce to Chicagoland customers hungry year ’round for locally grown greens and herbs.



After working with a wide variety of legacy lighting sources, and trying other manufacturers’ LEDs, founder of Green Spirit Farms Milan Kluko and his son, Dan Kluko, selected Illumitex grow lights for their farm. Both possessing the measure-twice-cut-once mantra common to the scientifically minded, the pair conducted numerous rigorous trials before settling on Illumitex LED lights. “We did our homework,” says Milan Kluko. “We put the lights through their paces.”

“If you talked to me about LEDS a couple years ago, I would’ve told you that they didn’t work. Illumitex LEDs changed my thinking. The amazing thing about Illumitex LEDS is that we use less energy and attain a higher yield,” says Dan Kluko. “Using less energy and attaining the same yield is great, but using less energy and achieving a significantly greater yield is a no-brainer.”
