Who We Are

At 9th Ray, we design lighting systems for cultivators who are obsessed with optimization—not just participation.

Founded by organic grower and lifelong cultivator John Gilboy, 9th Ray was built on a mission to bring precision-engineered grow lights to home and craft-scale growers without the inflated price tags or marketing fluff. Our custom-tuned LED and Quantum panels are designed for serious performance, featuring Samsung LM301H diodes, UVA for resin production, Far-Red for accelerated flowering, and dimmable Meanwell and Juson drivers for full canopy control.

John grows strictly organic—no synthetic nutrients, no shortcuts. That same integrity runs through everything we do, from the spectrum composition to the heat profile. This isn’t plug-and-play—it’s purpose-built innovation for growers who want more control, better yields, and real results.

With a 3-year warranty on every fixture, 5 years on the driver, and shipping in 5–7 business days, we make high-performance lighting accessible without compromise. And with a growing community of over 2,900 dedicated cultivators, we’re proud to be part of the movement pushing homegrown cannabis into its next evolution.

You’re not just growing.

You’re optimizing.

Built by growers, for growers.
