| Re: led grow lights?
Still e-mailing with the manufacturer. Today he sent me this:
"The blue color is in the 470nm range although
as you may know, LEDs vary in their bandwidth bell curve and we have
carefully chosen our blue specifically for plant growth.
If you would be kind enough to send me information on existing coral
lighting systems, we could tease out the active colors and make the LED
lights for you. The advantages of LEDs for specialized lighting are many,
and I think the most exciting potential is to create the specific color
required by the subject and not waste energy on unnecessary wavelengths."
Anyone know what the IDEAL wavelengths are? All my research into reef lighting always has a Kelvin rating, not the wavelength. What is the right wavelength for photosynthesis to occur in corals?
