Is this "full spectrum" in relation to simulating the sun on growing &amp; flowering plants ?

It is a pure clear light that makes reading and other close work easier. The regular incandescent lights have a slight yellow cast so these are great for working with photos or colors. It is different than a grow light.

Mixed (full) spectrum would be a T5 fluorescent or a cool white LED. Blue is used on vegetation stage and red for flowering

It is supposed to be a full spectrum light including a little UV. No need for grow/veg settings, but you can buy another one with more blue if you really think you need it for veg (like the Lighthouse Hydro Veg/Clone LED Grow Light, 90-watt ).

it depends on what type of plants your growing. But most people would use the 6400 for the veg stage of the plants life and the 3k or warm for the flower stage. Plants want the blue spectrum for root and branch growth red spectrum for flower growth. I myself for flower though always keep at least one blue for every 3 warm or dual hoods or dual arc bulbs. I find its best to keep a good spectrum especially in the first few weeks of flower when they do so much growth. give them what they want so they dont have to ask for it ;)

Hello,what is working for my plant is 72-75.I hope that helps.And it gets indirect sunlight.

Probably not, you will most likely need the LED indicated for plants, it has a different light spectrum

If you want broad spectrum bulbs, Exo Terra has the repti glo 10.0 broadspectrum for desert reptile and repti glo 2.0 to simulate bright daylight Sun. They also have bulbs for rainforest reptiles, too.

The light that these bulbs produce is the closest spectrum to natural sunlight. I purchased several of these for my mom and my girlfriend and they love them. It is much easier on your eyes than the "yellowish" fluorescent lighting that most bulbs produce and is great for reading and crafts also. I hope this was helpful. Dave J.

it is a full spectrum, which includes the spectrums of natural sunlight. I think a cfl is just a fluorescent, and has a 'natural' spectrum. If you mean is it the spiral type of bulb, no, it has a four prong base, and is flat-like, with around four or five little tubes.

Yes, one of the better options for doing so. For vegetative growth I recommend you have full spectrum or "blue" spectrum bulbs. 5400 Kelvin? That's from memory. If that's off the answers are a Google search away

The lighting is very bright. Very good for plants, too bright for atmosphere. I used for 1 hour then returned it.Now I use a light bar that had a remote for adjusting, brightness and color changes. My plants are doing fine. I think the name brand is Current.

You don't wanna use the factory settings anyway. Set them as you want. My settings are. Blues on for 12hrs a day at 80% and whites on for 5 hrs at 20% with the moon lights on for an hr before and afterwards

I had never checked if the WakaWaka unit charges under artificial light- so, I do not know. I expect that it would to some degree charge under artificial light. ( comment) Yet, the Sun is full spectrum and "Artificial" is likely only a specific set of wavelengths that are available. Thus, any conversion of artificial light MAY be less than from the sun. Certainly, Plants ( I have read) take advantage of the "Ying and Yang" of entangled photons that few man-made solar collectors do. In only a few years to come, I expect that many solar collectors efficiencies will double in any light- as the exponential increasing technology embraces the unique qualities of light. Just wait and see. I had never checked if the WakaWaka unit charges under artificial light- so, I do not know. I expect that it would to some degree charge under artificial light.

I have a Happy Light and a full spectrum floor lamp. I turn the floor lamp on every day over my houseplants to give them light as the days are so dark, but I don't use the Happy Light for that. I also would suggest going to the website for Verilux and asking them. I can't tell whether or not my plants are flourishing but they are still alive at this point and look as good as they did in the fall when I brought them in, so you might give it a try.

From what I have read these meters do not accurately measure LEDs. I have LED lights and the meter reads 4500 to 7000 lumens but as you say that is a focused spectrum. My plants spend part of the day in natural light and the readings are much higher in the greenhouse.

It can certainly be done. An issue to be faced is the differing distances these two light types require from the plants. HPS generates a great deal of heat and, in most cases, will need to be several feet from the top of the canopy whereas these LEDs will lose effectiveness over that kind of distance.
