Founded in 2012 by Martin Anker, MSc, the company, headquartered in Schruns, Vorarlberg, has grown from a one-man garage operation into a major player in the European LED grow light market. Anchored in scientific expertise, SANLight established itself through a consistent focus on quality, performance, and customer-centric design. In-house R&D includes a fully equipped lighting and electronics laboratory, complete with an integrating sphere for precise PPF (Photosynthetic Photon Flux) measurements, as well as controlled cultivation environments for plant testing and applied research. Insights from these trials are continuously integrated into product development.

“We’re excited to bring SANLight’s cutting-edge, sustainable LED grow light solutions—including the EVO, EVO-Compact, and STIXX Series—to the U.S. market,” SANLight founder Martin Anker said. “Made in Austria and developed through transparent, science-based research, our lights deliver unmatched efficiency, longevity, and performance, helping cultivators and greenhouses lower costs, reduce their environmental footprint, and grow brighter. Coming from a background in the car industry—where efficiency, innovation, quality, and longevity are key—my passion fuels our commitment to developing products that set new standards in cultivation lighting.”

With current activations from Humboldt, Calif., to New York, SANLight continues to light up from the East Coast to the West, with eyes on the New Jersey, Maine, Massachusetts, Florida, Las Vegas and Arizona markets and more. Additional rollouts are expected through the end of 2025 and into 2026.
