Megaphoton

What Megaphoton does

Megaphoton Inc. is a privately-held Chinese designer and manufacturer of integrated intelligent equipment for modern facility agriculture and commercial fishing, headquartered in Zhuhai, Guangdong. Founded in 2001 with registered capital of 53.625 million yuan and operating through three R&D centers (Beijing, Xi'an, Shenzhen) plus a 50,000 square meter production base, the company has built a four-pillar product portfolio: (1) artificial light systems including HPS, CMH, and LED grow lights alongside a specialized 1000-5000W digital ballast fishing light line; (2) integrated water and fertilizer irrigation systems such as the Seedling Spray Irrigation Fertilizer Applicator; (3) power distribution and internal environment control cabinets; and (4) software platforms including a self-developed AI Internal Environment Control System, the G-Lab digital intelligent management platform, and the G-MES Manufacturing Execution System. The company reports more than 80 national patents, cumulative sales exceeding 1 million artificial light sets, and over 300 completed facility agriculture projects across the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Belgium, Turkey, the United States, Russia, Canada, and Australia.

Megaphoton monetizes primarily through hardware sales of its grow light, irrigation, and power distribution systems, supplemented by recurring software subscriptions for the G-Lab and G-MES platforms and professional design and engineering services for turnkey greenhouse projects. Go-to-market is a mix of direct enterprise sales targeting greenhouse operators, agricultural investors, and government entities, and channel partnerships via exclusive supply agreements such as the February 2026 deal with Nature's Miracle Holding for Made-in-USA grow lights distributed under the partner's brand. The customer base is segmented across commercial greenhouse growers, commercial fishing operators (predominantly in coastal China), and large-scale agricultural investors; pricing is quote-based on enterprise projects and is not publicly disclosed.

Vertically integrated manufacturing is provided through wholly-owned subsidiaries Megaphoton Transformer Inc. (electronic transformers), Huizhou Lesno Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. (LED plant lighting, acquired August 2016), and Zhuhai Relighting Lighting Co., Ltd. (electronic ballasts and HID lamps, originally a 2001 entity and re-acquired in 2012). The company holds certifications including ISO 9001, CE, UL, CSA, ETL, TÜV, FCC, and CCC, and is recognized as a National High-tech Enterprise and a 'Little Giant' specialized and sophisticated enterprise by Chinese authorities. In February 2026, Megaphoton resolved prior litigation with Nature's Miracle Holding via a settlement agreement, receiving 15 million shares from the partner, while concurrently signing a new exclusive supply agreement for U.S.-manufactured grow light products.
