Subject: RE: RJP lighting.
I've had success under flourescent lights by using a combination of
both red and blue (hot & cold) tubes. This is a combo I used in
hydroponic cloning and is the closest thing to natural light that a
flourescent setup can crank out. A good ratio is 2 red to 1 blue.
My bots move around pretty well under this light, but the buzzing
from the ballast gives me a headache! I've never tried it, but I
would assume that a gro-light would also work, as they are also
supposed to produce something close to natural light spectrums ~
although not as good as the red/blue combo.
A good fluorescent mix may provide more usable light for the wattage.
Best,
Steve
