Rick, that Light that Della was looking at on Ebay has a very narrow 6000-6500k wavelength zone--white light zone. It is not a full spectrum light, much less, not a grow light with full spectrum and elevated zones of red and blue. In the description it even says it's "a suitable replacement for traditional light source suitable for home, office or exibition lighting" The fact the listor called a grow light is a MISTAKE! Unless, of course, it might have some use with deep water aquatic culture; maybe with deep water coral (?).
The fact that why anyone would even want to use this assembly combination (a stripe of LED's in a fluorescent tubing) is a paradox to me. Seems to me one would be defeating the efficiency purpose of LED. As you know, most of the efficiency gained by LED is because their angle of projected light is much narrower, allowing a more focussed beam to land on a given surface as opposed to fluorescent tubes which radiate light in all directions, wasting much of what is produced. So, why then, would anyone want to defuse LED by putting it in a frosted tube and lose whatever they thought they were gaining. Beats me! But yet you can buy these here too, even at Walmart.
