Far red par38

[thebigearl]

Seems I can find everything BUT a far red (730nm) in a screw in bulb.
Anyone have a source or link to buy?
Wonder if I could just replace the led chips in a different bulb with far red diodes...

Examples below..

I used to use halogen bulbs as trigger lights because of their far red component if that helps...

LED Grow Lights Depot has this GE Arize Flowering Lamp on their site. Says Flowering/pink for the spectrum, but looking at the link from that page to the brochure says 730nm.

I saw that GE bulb, couldn't find any additional info on whether it was only made up of far red or had other wavelengths as well. Can't find any where to order them either (that ships to canada)

All it says is 730nm. I guess you could message Grow Lights Depot and ask. They're very, very good with answering questions about their product offerings. (They sponsor the forum here, and they ship to Canada.)

Thank you!

You're welcome!

I happened saw those the other day when I was looking at the G8 Far Red UFO's. Not sure why I was looking at those, since my new light has plenty of far red, but whatever. Guess it was just curious browsing. Glad it could potentially lead to something useful and maybe help you out.

I don't think the Amazon bulbs a 730nm. I think they are 620-650. (if you have good grow lights, you're already giving that spectrum to them.) try these: Far Red Initiator Puck. I bought 4 of them for my 5x5 and they ran me about $175. If you have a smaller area you won't need as many.

a simple halogen flood light has enough far red in it to act as a good trigger light... cheap too.

but the far red does it's thing AFTER the lights go off. if you use a halogen, the rest of the spectrum interferes.
