This lamp is an LED Flood lamp very common in boat shops and patio lighting, last year,...this lamp has a modified chip to enhance the deeper red bands, and they are getting popular with noobies moving out of CFL's, with the daylight chip is better or floodlight with the 6500k chip, I do like these leds, but still cannot get my head around how they actually measure these fantastic lumen readings ....?

So could a person buy one from say Lowe's or off Amazon and put a 730 nm far red led in it?

I bought one of these

http://www.lowes.com/pd_150661-75774-LPAR3814005KLEDG5_0__?productId=50107550&Ntt=6500k+led+light&pl=1&currentURL=?Ntt=6500k+led+light&facetInfo=

the ones marked 6500k right now I'm using it at work, and this is very white and strong, right now I'm using HO t5's in a 8 lamp fixture, but I was thinking of buying the ceramic bases and screwing them into a 1" think piece of plywood say 4' long by 24" wide and planting six of these beauties and doing agrow and testing against the 400w t5 fixture , not sure 6 of these would have the light penetration the 8 t5 bulbs have, but it sure would be fun, either way 6 of these would only be 156 watts ;)

only thing is the t5 fixture with 8 6500k bulb sells for 173.00 on ebay, 6 of these bulbs would be a lot more with bases and wood. I know the wattage pays for itself in one year

Those are 60lmpw

Would be better off with any of these 3. They also make 5000K too if you want to add a little extra blue leaning light.

Guys,this is not a regular grow light. It's used to change the plants phytochrome state and is only run for 5 to 10 minutes after lights out.

I think some of you are not getting what I asking. I'm wanting to know if I could buy one of those flood lights from Lowe's or Home Depot and replace the led with a 730 nm far red led?

This is not a replacement for a main light its a supplement just read the site you link it says to use in the last hour of the day to boost production....

Yoda, you still don't understand op's purpose for wanting the 730nm far red light. Running for that "1 hour" (which is longer than necessary truth be told) manipulates phytochrome response in plants before lights out. Search Google for "far red phytochrome photoperiodism pfr" and photomorphogenisis to learn about the benefits
