green light for dark cycle?

for working during the dark cycle. I've heard you can use a "green" light because the plants leaves are the same color not absorbing any of it? I've searched everywhere for more info and nothing, strange I thought this would be a more common question

anyways can you just use a green tinted party light, or does it have to be something special?

I believe any green bulb or filter will do. As long as it looks green to you it should to the plant.

been using green ballcap light with no problems. GE now makes a green "party bulb" that is a cfl. perfect for work in dark.

thanks, for quick reply! I thought maybe it had to be a certain Kelvin color temperature.

thanks again

as long as it's pure green no problem. I use a green cfl and it works great. GL

This is a re-post from another forum by a well known and respected member of the community.

"I have 25w true green bulb lights in all my flower rooms. They have no affect on the plants what so ever. I don't go into my flower room with the light on I run CO² and can't. I can only do my plant maintenance in the dark period. For me it's been this way for many years.

A green filter is not correct it must be a true green bulb.

The plant will not see the color green."
