Grow lights are used to grow the light plants receive. It may appear a tanning bed’s lights can perform exactly the same task, but its lights are different. Plants respond best to cool lights, which will not burn or otherwise damage leaf.
Grow Lights
Several kinds of grow lights offer a wide spectrum of lighting and therefore are acceptable for plant development. When natural sunlight isn’t available or restricted, use permeable or light-emitting diode lighting that stays cool. Incandescent and halogen bulbs are also solutions, but use those bulbs with caution because they are hot when on thus can damage leaf.
Tanning Bed Lights
A tanning bed includes ultraviolet lights using short wavelengths. The ultraviolet rays are able to penetrate human skin and cause it to tan in colour. The short wavelengths, however, also can penetrate plant development and cause foliage damage. Tanning bed lights, which are expensive to work with, get warm when lit for the long intervals that would be needed for plant development, and they would damage leaf.
