Fotonica (Flora Fotonica Ltd) was an Israeli horticulture‑lighting startup founded in 2013 in Mazor. The company developed adjustable‑spectrum LED systems for controlled‑environment agriculture, with emphasis on medical cannabis and leafy greens. Its flagship EVA3 fixture combined 11 tunable bands from UVA/UVB through far‑red/IR with command‑and‑control software and a multispectral camera to implement crop‑specific light recipes, detect stress early, and cut energy use versus HPS. In 2017 Fotonica announced an R&D collaboration and investment from MedReleaf to validate performance in commercial cannabis trials. Academic work referencing Flora‑Fotonica’s adjustable EVA3 luminaires documented use in research settings. According to Startup Nation Finder, the company ceased operations in January 2023, but remains a relevant reference point for spectrum‑tunable horticultural LEDs used in cannabis and other controlled‑environment crops.
