Ive just found a light in my room, its chinese and the model number is MX-JCT4-8W. I think its a floro - it given out a blue/green light and its 8W. Could this be used to give extra light to my baby even tho its green/blue?

LOOL. Ive already got 2x20WATT Floros I just want a little bit more for the side of the plant becuase all the light is from above.

I meen is it okay to use this? its not gonna give out nasty rays or anything?

If it is green the plant will not benefit from it at all.

But no, it will not hurt the plant unless the fixture falls on it.

No, that's exactly the wavelength that green plants reflect, all other colors are absorbed. It's why they're green to our eyes.
Here's an interesting exerpt: Plant Physiology Online: The Blue–Green Reversibility of the Blue-Light Response of Stomata
Green Light Modifies Plant Architecture in Early Development and Contributes to Shade-Avoidance Response
A COMPARISON OF THE EFFECTS OF GREEN LIGHT AND OF RED LIGHT ON THE SIMPLE-LEAF DEVELOPMENT OF INTACT AND DECAPITATED BEAN PLANTS

I'd say it's about the worst thing to do.
Sorry, another: The spectrum

That report is based on providing the plants exclusively the red and green spectrum.

You're very welcome. :) Hey, you're not near Eindhoven by any chance, are you? I have a friend there.

One report is, others speak to the effect of other parts of the spectrum, and hopefully explain why green is the least effective with chlorophyll-bearing plants. Oh! And if you read the abstract of the one, they talk about how BOTH blue and red spectra affect stomata (the pores in the leaves) formation positively, but that which was induced by BLUE light was REVERSED by the green light. How'd ya like that? I thought it was a pretty interesting result.
