MONTRÉAL — Sollum Technologies partners with the Cannabis Research Coalition’s (CRC) to enhance its research capabilities which involves the integration of Sollum’s lighting solution into CRC’s new facilities.

During a recent site visit, Sollum Technologies and CRC reviewed the progress of 1900 sq. ft. of research space, which includes 16 dedicated R&D chambers. These chambers will feature Sollum’s LED lighting, including SF-PRO fixtures connected to the SUN as a Service platform. This setup aims to replicate natural sunlight and provide precise control over light spectrums to support cannabis growth and product quality.

“Due to limited university funding, the CRC stands as one of the few reliable sources for science-based cannabis research,” said Allison Justice, PhD, CEO of CRC. “The generosity and support of our industry partners have been crucial in expanding our research initiatives. With Sollum’s partnership, we aim to conduct cultivation research that makes the cannabis industry more sustainable, profitable, and safer.”

“Sollum Technologies is excited to partner with the Cannabis Research Coalition in their pursuit of advancing cannabis cultivation research,” said Matthew Bonavita, Sollum’s senior sales director for the U.S. market. “By integrating our state-of-the-art dynamic LED lighting solution into CRC research facilities, we are confident this will yield significant insights and innovations. Together, we aim to set new standards for sustainable and efficient cannabis cultivation, benefiting the entire industry.”
