By providing the SunBurst Orange light, we not only promote creation of carotenoids, which are required for plant health, but also add to photosynthesis, since the carotenoids pass their absorbed energy to chlorophyll. Carotenoids are required for plant health due to their ability to absorb destructive free radicals, both from solar damage and from chlorophyll production, whose precursors will damage plant tissue in the absence of the carotenoids. During research we found that test plants turned a deeper green, i.e. produced more chlorophyll, with the addition of our SunBurst Orange light component. This ability to increase a plant's chlorophyll content with this specific light wavelength is an important aspect that will enable the plant to achieve optimal vegetative growth ( your internodes will be much tighter & prevent stretching due to the plants ability to absorb the light it requires and thus doesn't stretch while looking for light that it craves ) this added ability will also increase flowering production.
sounds cool.

I don't know much. but i think plants would do fine if you super charched them with massive light. As long as the temps are chill and they get all the nutes and plenty of co2 and water. In my opinion the added light will just speed photosynthesis and in that case you will have to supercharge all of those other factors. like that old fasion wheel barrel picture in all the plant books... this one would just be real tall. I think you would have a faster and larger yield.
think of one plant growin outside in the sun. that's alot of light. now go six feet up the plant and two feet up the plant. now do that under an LED, HPS or watever... is there a yield difference? i am off topic and rammblin sorry.
