Fluorescent Grow Bulbs
Fluorescent grow bulbs are best used in situations where plants receive some sunlight, as in a
greenhouse or near a window. The additional added energy in the far-red
region of this lamp's color spectrum promotes the photosynthetic
performance. The lamp radiates energy in the far-red (700-800nm), red
(600-700nm) and blue (400-500nm) regions of the spectrum and produces
results similar to the combined use of cool white fluorescent and
incandescent lamps. With a single fluorescent source, the need for
the color of incandescent lamps is eliminated, temperatures can be
better controlled and operating costs are reduced.
