I was wondering if there are any lights that do not affect plants during their night cycle. this would be handy if you need to get into your grow area during that time in case of emergency or wutever. black lights? photo dark room lights?

Green bulbs work fine. But as stated, best to keep it as limited as possible - just in case lol. Green is kind of a part of the light spectrum plants don't seem to really pick up, they utilize more of the red and/or blue parts of the spectrum - Although I have no scientific facts to back that up, so feel free to ignore it! Hahaha.

My hydro shop sells green bulbs for this purpose so I suppose they really do work, although I've never tried them myself.

Cheers.
