SUSTAINABLE YEAR-ROUND LETTUCE PRODUCTION IN THE DESERT
Greenlife Kuwait is redefining what’s possible in extreme climates. Located in one of the world’s hottest regions, the company faced the challenge of producing fresh lettuce year-round while managing soaring summer temperatures and the limits of conventional greenhouse cooling. With NLight, they’ve proven that sustainable, high-quality production is achievable even in the desert.
PROJECT Details
Greenlife Kuwait required a system that could reduce reliance on cooling, stabilise growing conditions, and deliver consistent lettuce yields all year long. By combining a closed-screen greenhouse with RV1000 LED fixtures and aeroponic benching, the project created a controlled, efficient environment that supports compact, high-quality growth.
GREENHOUSE SIZE:
Commercial-scale closed-screen greenhouse
LOCATION:
Kuwait
Control System:
Single-channel spectrum control (88/6/6 spectrum)
Fixtures Installed:
180 × RV1000
Objective:
Achieve sustainable year-round lettuce production in extreme desert conditions
Outcome:
Stable climates, compact lettuce heads, reduced energy use, and lower operational costs
Crop Types:
Lettuce
Sustainability Focus:
Lower reliance on cooling, reduced resource use, and improved local food security
RESILIENT FARMING, REDEFINED
Greenlife Kuwait demonstrates how technology and sustainable practices can overcome even the harshest growing conditions.
CLIMATE CONTROLLED
Closed-screen systems combined with LEDs reduce reliance on energy-intensive cooling.
OPTIMISED FOR LETTUCE
RV1000 fixtures with a tailored spectrum deliver the exact light needed for compact, high-quality heads.
RESOURCE EFFICIENT
Aeroponic benching conserves water and nutrients while supporting robust growth.
SECURING LOCAL SUPPLY
Reliable year-round production reduces import dependency and strengthens food security.
