One of the main problems with the aftermarket LED lights is people put them in cars that don't have projector headlamps and with the different shape of the bulb and light emitting pattern, they turn their headlights and/or fog lights into floodlights. Ironically they often end up with not as much light on the road that way.
There was a trend for blue halogen bulbs, which filtered down the yellow. There was less noticeable 'substance' to the illumination.
LEDs are even more narrow band, nearer monochromatic. This is (poorly) compensated for with more output.
Taking a page from aquariums, plain LEDs are not sufficient for certain corals to grow. It is preferred to take a larger bite of the spectrum.

But she's sitting down on the job, and that might raise an issue at her next performance review.
True, but she's got it ***-backwards. The instructions clearly say the original goes in face down.
There is a class of lights called 'grow lights', used for replacing sunlight if required.
Be careful, many of the posts deal with the indoor (and at times illegal) cultivation of recreational greenery.
Some LED makers offer ready to use 3W and other packages, at times optimised for the leafing and flowering stages.
I have mixed red, green and blue LEDs to get the purple color needed for the succesful indoor cultivation of exotic salad items.

African violets grow very well under grow lights. They like a constant environment with no changes.
I grew recreational greenery in my closet in the 1970s with grow lights. It worked great!

Just keep the wattage down. If suddenly your electric usage goes up by a large, constant amount they will send someone out with an IR camera to find out why. Images taken from the street are perfectly admissible (and sufficient for a warrant). Thats how you get caught.
I don't think they had infared cameras in the 1970s.
I'm hoping growing it becomes legal here. I have quite the green thumb. And buddha pops up in my garden every year, and I don't plant it. It pops up in my garden that borders the street. I'm pretty sure people are throwing seeds there.

I have to admit I will put together another strip of LED lights for my grow room this weekend.
Growing tomatoes and bell peppers along with Guacamole trees and pineapple.
Also starting a few more other fruit trees.
Yes I call it my grow room.

I'm going to start seedlings for my vegetable garden this winter. I have seeds for an unusual type of hot pepper (Jamaican Scotch Bonnet). Will start them on the basement windowsills, which get full exposure to sunlight on the south side of the house.
She really needs to get a smart phone like all the other girls use....When the mortgage company wants to know your source of income.
75% red, 15% green, 10% blue LEDs worked for me, I modified a LED flood lamp from all white to colored 3W LEDs.
You can play around with the ratios for different plants, and I see now that ready grow lights from major companies are available.

Yes, I must admit that the residents of my province are well acquainted with that type of light.
Yes, among other profitable crops.
Years too late here in BC for this previous puffer. When the gray matter started turning green it was time to take that shingle off my post.
There are also induced seasonal changes to the light that will improve production, depending on the plant and its desired proliferation.
Lettuce is one thing, but...
Legal in California.
it grows fantastic in large pots alongside tomatoes in SoCal.
A little bit of trimming here and there... ever being the engineer... keep an eye to the stages, fertilizers, this and that... and you can have a an incredible array of products.. Funny thing is, we don't care for using it.
