Light Science Technologies Holdings PLC (AIM:LST) rose 5.5% in afternoon trading after the company announced a key patent win and a new commercial lighting order.
The AIM-listed group has secured a patent for its environmental sensor technology, sensorGRO, which monitors growing conditions around both the roots and leaves of plants.
Already in use by clients such as Dyson Farming Research and Bridge Farm Horticulture, the system helps boost yields in indoor and large-scale farming.
The company said the patent lays the groundwork for expanding into areas such as water and air pollution monitoring, with modular add-ons creating opportunities for recurring revenue.
LSTH also confirmed an initial order through a distribution partner for a bespoke LED lighting setup covering a 0.8-hectare glasshouse, due to go live in early 2026. Its sales pipeline now exceeds £44 million.
CEO Simon Deacon said the business is expanding its reach and building momentum across multiple AgTech markets.
The shares rose 0.2p to 3.85p.
