What Greengage Lighting does

Greengage AgriTech (operating as Greengage Lighting) is a UK-based agri-tech company that designs, manufactures, and sells the ALIS (Agricultural Lighting Induction System), a proprietary inductive power-transfer lighting platform for livestock facilities. The system replaces traditional hardwired barn lighting with a contactless architecture: a two-channel Power Hub converts mains supply to 50kHz AC, a sealed double-insulated Bus Cable loop carries the power, and a family of clip-on luminaires — wide and narrow Colony Lamps, Tube Lamps, Nest Lamps, Blue Colony Lamps, and a Bus Switch — receive power inductively without plugs, pins, or licensed-electrician installation. An ALIS DTD Controller delivers dawn-to-dusk dimming, and in 2020 the company extended the platform with IoT acoustic and movement sensors for animal welfare monitoring in poultry and swine. The product line is rated IP66/IP67/IP69K for ammonia-rich, high-pressure wash-down environments, with a stated 100,000-hour lamp lifespan and a 3-year warranty.

Greengage sells four solution families — Broilers, Breeders, Layers, and Swine — to commercial livestock operators. Go-to-market is primarily indirect through 8 distribution partners and sales agents across 22 countries, supplemented by direct enterprise engagement and a request-a-quote sales motion. Hardware (Power Hubs, Bus Cable, lamps, controllers) is the sole disclosed revenue stream. The company has deployed 10,800 power units globally and claims 20% UK broiler market penetration.

The company was founded in 2008 in London as Greengage Lighting & Glo-bulb, divested its domestic lighting business in 2015, relocated to the Roslin Innovation Centre on Edinburgh University's Easter Bush campus, and acquired Isotera Ltd in 2016 to consolidate the core inductive power patent. It is privately held with 14 employees, has raised approximately $17M cumulatively across 20 equity rounds led primarily by Par Equity alongside Hotspur Capital, Scottish Investment Bank, Old College Capital, and Innovate UK grant funding, and holds 75 patents, 11 trademarks, and 2 registered designs.

Core offering

Greengage designs, manufactures and sells the ALIS (Agricultural Lighting Induction System) platform — a proprietary contactless inductive-power LED lighting ecosystem for livestock buildings — together with inductive-powered IoT acoustic and movement sensors for animal welfare monitoring. The offering combines a Two-Channel Power Hub, double-insulated Bus Cable, Dawn-till-Dusk Controllers, and a range of clip-on LED lamps (Colony, Tube, Nest, Blue) targeting broiler, breeder, layer and swine operations.

Product overview

Greengage Lighting offers the ALIS (Agricultural Lighting Induction System) platform — a proprietary inductive power-based lighting ecosystem for livestock agriculture. The platform consists of the ALIS Two-Channel Power Hub (central power conversion unit), ALIS Bus Cable (double-insulated induction power loop), ALIS DTD Controller (dawn-till-dusk dimming control), and various ALIS lamp types including Colony Lamps (Wide and Narrow at 160°/130° angles), Tube Lamps for layer systems, Nest Lamps for breeder applications, and Blue Colony Lamps for catching phases. An ALIS Bus Switch enables quick power toggling. The ALIS IoT Smart Sensors add acoustic and movement monitoring for welfare assessment. All components use contactless inductive coupling — lamps simply clip onto the bus cable without hardwiring. Solutions target broilers, breeders, layers, and swine operations across 22 countries.
