Thrive Agritech, Inc. is a US LED horticulture lighting maker with the Pinnacle, Apex, Boost and Infinity lines. Urth & Fyre specifies and supplies it.
Thrive Agritech, Inc. is an LED horticulture lighting company that designs and manufactures grow lights for cannabis facilities, greenhouses and vertical farms. It was founded in 2015 by Brian Bennett at the Y Combinator accelerator, traded as Transcend Lighting until a 2017 rebrand, and its product portfolio includes the Pinnacle, Apex, Boost and Infinity lines.
Urth & Fyre specifies and supplies Thrive Agritech fixtures in the cultivation facilities it designs. Thrive brand searches are small, so this page is built around the terms operators use when they buy: commercial grow lights, cannabis grow lights and LED replacements for double ended HPS.
The 600W Pinnacle launched in 2021 as a replacement for 1,000W double ended high pressure sodium fixtures, and Thrive reported canopy intensities above 1,500 PPFD in indoor flower rooms. The 840W Pinnacle HP followed in 2022, with Thrive reporting that indoor cannabis growers can reach 1,500 to 2,000 PPFD with fewer fixtures. Both are rated IP66, carry UL8800 safety certification and come with a standard 5 year warranty.
Apex is a 300W fixture launched in 2019 with the same IP66 rating, UL8800 certification and 5 year warranty. Boost is a 130W light bar rated at 285 micromoles per second, designed for high PPFD vertical farming or greenhouse supplemental lighting. Infinity 2.0 linear fixtures went into multi tier vegetative racks at Native Roots in Denver, where the operator ordered more than 1,500 fixtures and estimated savings of over 1.8 million kWh a year.
Lighting is sized from the target intensity at the canopy, not from a watts per square foot rule. Pick a target PPFD for each room and stage, then have the layout modeled at the planned mounting height so the fixture count and spacing hit that target with even coverage. Flower rooms and veg racks usually end up with different fixtures.
Check each specific model on the DesignLights Consortium list before you commit if utility rebates are part of the budget. The DLC horticultural requirements V4.0 took effect April 18, 2025, and require a photosynthetic photon efficacy of at least 2.5 micromoles per joule. Thrive listed its lights as DLC and UL listed in 2022, but listings are by model and version.
LEDs move heat out of the canopy and into the room differently than HPS, which changes the sensible and latent balance your HVAC must handle. The Cannabis HVAC Design Guide covers how lighting load feeds into equipment sizing.
HPS fixtures cost less up front and many growers know how to run them, but they put more radiant heat on the canopy and need lamp changes. Thrive positions Pinnacle HP as producing more output than the best double ended 1,000W HPS fixtures with higher efficiency and less maintenance, which is a manufacturer claim to check against photometric reports.
Many commercial LED fixtures for cannabis use a multi bar format. Compare them on tested PPF, efficacy in micromoles per joule, DLC listing status, ingress rating, dimming and controls, warranty length and driver location, using the same canopy layout for each quote.
Urth & Fyre specifies and supplies Thrive Agritech fixtures and sources and quotes the line new as part of a facility design. The lighting plan is drawn with benching, racking and HVAC so the fixture count, electrical service and cooling load line up. The commercial grow room equipment list shows how lighting fits with the other systems in a room.

Who makes Thrive Agritech grow lights?
Thrive Agritech, Inc. designs and manufactures its own LED horticulture lights. The company was founded in 2015 by Brian Bennett at the Y Combinator accelerator, traded as Transcend Lighting until 2017 and reported corporate headquarters in New York City. Its lines include Pinnacle, Pinnacle HP, Apex, Boost and Infinity.
What does the Thrive Pinnacle HP replace?
The Thrive Pinnacle HP is an 840W LED fixture positioned as a replacement for 1,000W double ended HPS lights in indoor flower rooms. Thrive says it produces more output than the best double ended HPS fixtures with fewer lights per room, and reports that indoor cannabis growers reach 1,500 to 2,000 PPFD with it.
Are Thrive Agritech lights DLC listed?
Thrive stated in 2022 that its lights were DLC and UL listed, but DLC listings apply to specific models and versions. Check each model on the DLC Qualified Products List before you count on a rebate. DLC horticultural V4.0, effective April 18, 2025, requires an efficacy of at least 2.5 micromoles per joule.
How many LED grow lights do I need per room?
The number of LED grow lights per room depends on the target PPFD, the fixture output, the mounting height and the canopy layout, so there is no fixed count per square foot. A photometric layout models the room and sets fixture count and spacing to hit the target intensity evenly across the canopy.
What warranty do Thrive Agritech lights carry?
Thrive Agritech lists a standard 5 year warranty on its Pinnacle, Pinnacle HP and Apex fixtures, which are also rated IP66 and certified to UL8800. For a used fixture, ask whether the warranty transfers to a new owner and what it covers on drivers and LED boards before you buy.
