Underground gardens are no longer sci-fi. MAERICH’s G-Spot Recessed Grow-Light Series, designed with WOHA, flips the switch on what lighting tech can do, bringing nature back to the city, even where sunlight doesn’t reach.
No Sun, No Problem: The Future of Biophilic Lighting
MAERICH’s G-Spot Recessed Grow-Light Series is a sharp, modular lighting system engineered for spaces where sunlight is absent. Designed in collaboration with WOHA, the series is a direct response to the growing demand for biophilic design in urban architecture. It’s not just about illumination, it’s about enabling ecosystems to thrive in places they were never meant to.
The core of G-Spot’s appeal lies in its spectral output. Unlike traditional grow lights that cast an unnatural pink or magenta hue, G-Spot delivers a pre-formulated white growth spectrum with CRI and R9 values both above 90. This means plants get the light they need for photosynthesis, while humans experience a soft, natural glow. It’s a lighting solution that respects both biology and aesthetics.
MAERICH’s long-throw optics and 40° cut-off design push the boundaries of visual comfort. The dark light configuration ensures glare control without compromising on intensity. This is precision engineering with a purpose, turning basements and enclosed interiors into lush, multi-layered gardens.
Biophilic Tech for Future Cities
G-Spot is more than a grow light. It’s a tool for sustainable development. By enabling greenery in zero sunlight environments, it supports ecosystem services like air purification and psychological well-being. The product’s dual-purpose design allows architects to integrate nature into spaces previously considered inhospitable. It’s a game changer for landscape architecture and interior design.
The lighting system’s modularity and compact form factor give designers creative freedom. MAERICH’s technology doesn’t impose, it adapts. Whether it’s a subterranean garden or a horti-tainment attraction, G-Spot fits seamlessly into the design narrative. WOHA’s involvement ensures the product isn’t just functional, it’s architecturally relevant.
MAERICH’s ethos is clear: small details make a big difference. Their commitment to innovation and reliability is embedded in every beam of light. The G-Spot series exemplifies this philosophy, offering high performance with minimal energy consumption. It’s a sustainable solution that doesn’t compromise on impact.
The product has already gained international recognition, winning the LIT Lighting Design Award in Agricultural Lighting and earning nominations from the German Design Council. These accolades reflect its technical excellence and design-forward approach.
G-Spot isn’t just a product, it’s a statement. It redefines what lighting can achieve in the context of urban sustainability. With WOHA’s design input and MAERICH’s engineering, it’s a fusion of form and function that speaks to a new generation of architects and designers.
MAERICH – Light Differently.
