If you bought something and paid big money for it and find out it doesn't work, your going to spread the word that the product is bogus and this awesome technolgy will go by the wayside. to say 2700K and 6400K is not designed for "growing" is wrong. I'm sure the MH and HPS light was not originally desiged for the horticultral industry too.
If the debate is wether the purple is superior to the 2700K or vise versa try a test grow with a 25,000K cfl vs. a 2700K (6400K for veg). The 25,000K cfl is the same color spectrum as the Mland induction. Induction lights are basically CFL's on steriods. The produce the same color spectrums but are much much more intense and last almost forever.
Mland does not make the bulbs, they are a fixture manufacturer. There are only a few companies that actually build induction lights.
The purple spectrum works great for growing but only if your growing basil or lettuce!
