Hella lighting (4kq) -- cops search?

[Lawrence C Leung]

Confuses me, too, however if Sodium lamps are good for certain
"vegetables" I do know that most plants tend to respond well to yellow
and near (but not actual UV, that's a killer!) UV light. Near UV light
has lots of energy, but some it tends to get reflected by the blue in the
chlorophyl, and Yellow is well absorbed by green (green is reflected,
hence that why we see plants as green). So, it makes more sense for the
Sodium lamps to be yellow, not "Sodium blue". IMHO, if they are blue,
it's by tinting the bulb, which means lots of light get's filtered out
and wasted.
