The ‘color’ of light (the emission amplitude and spectral distribution) can significantly affect plant growth. Low color temperature implies warmer (more yellow/red) light while high color temperature implies a colder (more blue) light. Daylight has a rather low color temperature near dawn, and a higher one during the day. Our lights offer a rich blue/white light that is rated at 6500 degrees Kelvin. The light as you can see from this chart would be higher then the sun light at noon on a sunny day and similar to the light at full daylight. Some expensive Sodium Bulbs used in plant growth can reach 2100 degrees kelvin, which would be a much warmer light, while others for marine aquariums will be 10,000-12,000 degrees Kelvin which is a Bluer light. It is necessary for you to understand the specific requirements for the growing or your plants or marine life as they will vary. For coral growth, you should find out if your coral comes from shallow or deep waters. The closer to the surface o
