Description: Interesting compact grow light. My research regarding Wavelength specifications of 660nm(Red), 630nm (Red) and 460nm (Blue) indicate the following usage. Interesting enough is that I also found out the red light wave length has skin healing properties as well as helping plants flower. Here’s the specifics: Blue light (430nm-450nm) This range of spectrum enables cryptochromes and phototropins to mediate plant responses such as phototropic curvature, inhibition of elongation growth, chloroplast movement, stomatal opening and seedling growth regulation. It affects chlorophyll formation, photosynthesis processes, and through the cryptochrome and phytochrome system, raises the photomorphogenetic response. In more practical terms, these wavelengths encourage vegetative growth and are essential in lighting for seedlings and young plants during the vegetative stage of their growth cycle, especially when “stretching” must be reduced or eliminated. It also stimulates the production of secondary pigments which can enhance colors and is known to also stimulate Terpene (i.e. fragrance) production. Red light (640nm-680nm) Red light affects phytochrome reversibility and is the most important for flowering and fruiting regulation. These wavelengths encourage stem and vegetative growth, flowering and fruit production, and chlorophyll production. The 660nm wavelength has a very strong photosynthetic action. It exhibits the highest action on red-absorbing phytochrome regulated germination, flowering and other processes. This wavelength is most effective for light cycle extension or night interruption to induce flowering of long-day plants or to prevent flowering of short-day plants. The Benefits of Red Wavelengths The most beneficial red light wavelength for skin is commonly considered to be 660 nm, which is near the upper range of visible red light. This wavelength has deeper penetration than the shorter 630 nm wavelength, with similar effects. Red wavelengths penetrate the skin and sebaceous glands to rejuvenate the skin’s tone and texture. The 630 and 660 nm wavelengths are the two most widely studied wavelengths of the red light spectrum. Here’s a small sampling of some of the powerful benefits: Reduced fine lines and wrinkles: In this study, the 630 nm red light wavelength was combined with other beauty treatments (e.g., microneedling) to create a statistically significant improvement in photodamage, fine lines, and sagging. This finding has been supported by numerous other clinical trials, such as a 2014 study by researchers from Germany. Improvement in chronic skin disorders like psoriasis: One study showed that the use of the 630 nm red light wavelength in conjunction with hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) helped to eliminate the symptoms associated with psoriasis within 17 days. Hair regrowth: According to a 2013 study, red light therapy containing the 630 nm wavelength is a safe and effective method of stimulating hair growth in both men and women. Treatment of acne: A 2017 review published in Dermatology Times states that red light therapy could be a viable treatment for acne. Many popular LED light treatments for acne combine blue and red light. Reduced training fatigue: A 2011 study revealed that red light at 660 nm combined with 830 nm NIR light can delay the development of fatigue in the muscles, and enhance skeletal muscle performance. (Athletes, take note.) This is one of many studies that suggest using more than one wavelength together could have profound benefits. Reduced inflammation: In a study investigating the effects of red light therapy on pleurisy in rats, the 660 nm wavelength was found to induce an anti-inflammatory effect. Improved bone healing: A 2015 study found that red light at 660 nm was even more effective than the 830 nm wavelength in increasing ATP production in vitro and an initial acceleration of callus formation in the bone fracture healing process. Reduced neuropathic pain: A 2014 study investigating sciatic nerve pain in rats found that the red 660 nm wavelength significantly helped to reduce pain. Accelerated wound healing: In 2013, researchers conducting this study found that the red 660 nm wavelength increased the formation of new blood vessels and enhanced collagen deposition to help in the healing of wounds. On their own, the 630 nm and 660 nm red light wavelengths are highly beneficial. But you’ll get the best results by combining shorter and longer wavelengths in the visible and invisible light spectrum.
