Ya wanna bet??

Of course it can. You just need to leave it on 24/7 to get your 12/12. I heard it cuts the flowering time in half.
 
Any light can grow any plant , Quality being another issue.
More effective at blinding old people at weddings imo
 
5600 k dont know how many lumens. i read an article about this and theoretically it could work there would still have to be a 12/12 cycle but it would reduce electrical costs. and for those who dont know anything about electricity ..ehem clonex matt.... AC electricity is based on the principal alternating sine waves meaning there is a neutral point in the wave where the electrical current is not having any output in simpler words all ac electronics cycle on and off very fast so it seems continous thus gives us MHz and cycles per second
 
I'm talkn theoretically, it looks like a good cheap light source for 1,low heat for 2, and I found a couple of articals about pulse lighting increasing yields,and cutting costs

Ill put it to you this way. Try sleeping for one minute and being awake for the next and do that on and off every minute of the day. How effective would that be? Again :wall:
 
you could use it as supplemental lighting but you'd have to have a shitload of these to make a good grow, and you'd have way too much heat, even more than regular hps bulbs. Also, while the electricity cycles, the light does not - once the gas ignites it's on, only at first it might flicker during "warmup" to it's proper operating temp. When it's cold, you'll get more flicker because it takes longer for the bulbs to "fire" up. And while your strobe theory is good, it will only work as supplemental light- if you read about extending veg times for outdoor growing, they will string incandescents above the plants, run them for 12 hours, then sometime within the next 12 it has to have 1 more hour of light - not in a strobe effect, but solid light. I think the plants would have a hard time adjusting to that type of lighting, but hey, always willing to learn!

lol well cheap and low heat but not GOOD. theres more to it then it just needing light. it needs the right kind of light that DOES NOT come from a strobe light. if the spectrum comes anywhere close to what you need that would be one hell of a lucky shot in the dark

What does that have to do with a xenon light? Its not the sine waves making the light strobe, bro - its the circuitry in the light itself. Sunlight doesn't flicker off an on repeatedly, either- according to what I've read, you've at least have to have a minimum of 9 hours flowering of solid light or 12 hours veg solid light followed by a 1 hour period of light sometime in the 12 hour darkness period (12/12) and within the first 6 of that to break the sleep cycle, the 9 hours is based on sunlight in december in the northern hemisphere.
