Since thiers so many experts here on lights and lighting I was hoping you could answer a few questions on growing food with lights. And yes I'm talking about food not herbs for prohit so money does matter
a) Can a large battery of LED lights put out enough lumens/light to grow crops?
b) Do LEDs put out the right type/wavelength of light for crop growth?
c) Has anyone done any experimentation on useign LEDs for growing plants?
Obviously if thier is anything on the net about the subject of efficient lighting for plants I'd like to know about it. Also if LEDs dont work well whats the best alternative? I've heard flourecent lights only work well for a short period of time before degradeing so I'm not sure their that great of an alternative for long term use.
