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

The light characteristics of this bulb are very similar to the full-spectrum lights I use on my planted freshwater aquarium. I would expect that this bulb's intensity and color temperature would be excellent for indoor plants. Hope this helps!

This would be a good bulb for rooting and growing clones or seedlings. A flowering plant would prefer a color temperature of under 3000k. To provide enough light to a 2'x2' space, I would recommend 4 of these. That is, if you are trying to maximize plant development.

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.

This is a bulb intended to provide the spectrum that mimics sunlight in order to mitigate effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder. While they may function as grow lights, they are not designed to provide the same wavelengths of light at the same intensities as grow lights would.

depends on light and ventilation system - light should reach all the vegetative canopy

I use mine for photos, but the Internet has plenty of info on what spectrums of light are best for specific plants and at what time to use them. I would think a full spectrum 'daylight' (6500k) would be better, but even You Tube may offer better info, and based on what you are growing.

The answer is yes, but depending on what type of coral you have, deep of tank and other very important conditions. Thinking that you are familiarize with coral growth, and that you have all the water temperature, chemical, cycle and other important issues controled, lighting is one of the most important assets on your set up. Lets talk about corals...Most corals are photosynthetic and approximately 85% of the energy required for their growth and coloration is provided through the symbiotic relationship they share with the zooxanthellae algae which live within the coral. In order to facilitate the development of the zooxanthellae, it is essential to provide not only the right intensity of lighting (approx. 1w/liter for T5 fluorescents provides optimal photosynthetic irradiation spectrum - PAR), but to ensure also that the lighting provides the correct color spectrum for corals. That means that you need a range from actinic blue to Real red and a combination of those including white from 6500k to at least 14000k or more. The finnex fugeray led can work for some corals but you may need to add some specific more blue and\ or some white on the very hight K range in order to have a complete wavelength apropiate for saltwater and corals. Look at this site and then take your desicion.. http://successfulreefkeeping.com/learn/reef-tank-101/lighting-101/ i hope this will help you... Carlos Alvarado

We have two beds located in an area with close to 100% sunlight throughout the day, and didn't have any issues with this. Grew a pretty wide range of plants this year and they all turned out fine.

Hi Eric,To my understanding, it is. The definition I found and it's quite describing what my light bulb does is:"Full-spectrum" is not a technical term when applied to an electrical light bulb but rather a marketing term implying that the product emulates natural lightThanks for your question.

No, it's way more on the yellow/red end of the spectrum, like...2000K or so. Really good for the flowering stages of...flowers, but you'll find it lacking in vegitation qualities.

A previous responder said about 40%. That sounded too little to me, so I just checked; considering straight up as 90 degrees, this goes to about 45, so the other answer is about right. In eyeballing it, I would also say you would not get full sun if it is directly above you but most of the time you can have full sun, moving it a little bit, if you need to; it is very light and moves easily.

yes. blue spectrum bulbs for growing, red spectrum bulbs for blooming/flowering.

It is a LED with a color temperature of 5000k and CRI if 80. How close that is to "sunlight" is subject to your own opionions, not to mention what kind of conditions you are measuring "sunlight" in (sunlight color temperatures vary with time of day, overcast or not, etc). Clearly no lightbulb gives off true sunlight, or anything all that close to it, despite marketing terms being used to describe bulbs that try to be closer than average. (Some of the differences are good, would you really want a lightbulb that gives you sunburn?)

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.

Yeah it should be. I think the most light demanding plant I am growing is rotala indica and it grows like crazy. Everything else I am growing is not as demanding but doing well also (anubis nana, subwassertang, moss balls, java fern, and java moss).

I don't remember the actual specifications, but it does look quite natural, so it is quite likely full spectrum.

You would have to raise it really high to get light over everything... Hint , leds with reds , yellows , blue, violet (full spectrum ) grow coral good..

Yes it is possible to work the way you describe, however, you want to be aware of code and over-current issues. Depending on the exact location, for example where there is higher solar radiation, you could have over-current.

No, the specturm is wrong and weak for any plants. For just display lighting, it's ok for the price

Hello! There is nothing extra that's needed to compliment this light's spectrum for flowering as it is already the absolute most complete spectrum that you can create using LED lights once both switches are used for flowering purpose. We use our proprietary 11-band spectrum which has been tuned, tried and tested for years with incredible results. If you're looking to not compliment the spectrum but compliment the *overall light footprint*, then that's a different story! 2 of these in a 4x4 tent would allow a very tight panel height above plant tops and only yield more and more. Or, step up to the 150x3w model.. Hello!
