niQo Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I just got this light in the mail yesterday and when I plugged it in it looked a lot more blue then I was expecting as a majority of the LEDs are 660nm. Do our eyes not see this wavelength? This will be my new fuge light and I want to make sure I got the right one! Thanks! Link to comment

It has a lot of Reds, which I know are supposed to be helpful in growing plants. Link to comment

yungKitten Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 According to wikipedia 660nm is within the visible spectrum. Red is between is 620 and 740 nanometers. Link to comment

yungKitten Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Yeah, I'm not sure what makes it appear that way. I hope some LED experts chime in. Maybe @DaveFason would know. Link to comment
