This blog post highlights two innovative advancements that are set to revolutionize your cultivation practices: the award-winning CABA DLI Detective and the CT-141 HPS replacement light fixture, both designed by brilliant minds at CABA Technologies.
Shining a Light on Innovation: The CABA DLI Detective
Our very own lead engineer, Brett Horstketter, recently received the prestigious AE50 Award from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) in recognition of his exceptional contribution to the field: the CABA DLI Detective. This free, user-friendly online tool empowers cultivators of all kinds, from cannabis enthusiasts to greenhouse veterans, to make data-driven decisions regarding their supplemental lighting needs.
Harnessing the Power of Data for Optimal Yields:
By simply entering your email address and location, the DLI Detective leverages five years of NASA Power Project data to generate a comprehensive report specific to your geographic region. This report provides:
- Daily Light Integral (DLI) readings for your exact location, broken down by month and measured in mols (millimoles per square meter per second).

With this valuable information at your fingertips, you can:
- Strategize your crop planning to maximize growth potential.
- Make informed decisions when purchasing supplemental lighting.
- Design customized lighting schedules tailored to the specific needs of each crop, whether it’s cannabis, vegetables, flowers, or anything in between.
