    Spokane, WA, April 3, 2023: CABA Tech, a subsidiary of Best Lighting Products, announced today that its proprietary daily light integral (DLI) calculator, the DLI Detective, is available for public use through its updated website. This tool optimizes plant growth and will be live and available for global growers on April 3, 2023 

    Growers in the cannabis and agricultural products industries can access the DLI Detective by visiting CABA’s company website and simply entering their email address. A quick email from Micro Mole will grant users immediate access to the tool. Using NASA’s responsive data, this industry-first tool makes it a quick, painless process for growers to calculate the natural lighting conditions for their grow. Upon entering geographical information, such as address or city, growers are eligible to receive a FREE DLI supplemental lighting report, which outlines the type and quantity of LED lighting needed to achieve record yields. 

    “The DLI Detective gives growers more than just a 20-year average DLI for their region,” Tony Vilgiate, President says. “We take the most recent data from NASA’s global satellites and provide an accurate and current picture of average monthly DLI. The calculator then takes the users greenhouse transmission efficiency and their provided target DLI to generate a report on how much supplemental lighting is needed, and when to apply it,” he explains.
