I believe it will not only help with Emerson but do a lot more if used correctly.
I think there is a direct correlation between IR and green light. Plants like to be heat stressed for some reason for short periods of time.
I think there is a difference is what sort of light provides that heat.
It all comes down to stomatal control. I spoke with Prawn regarding this a few weeks back and he also confirmed a few of my suspicions.
Combining incandescent with LEDs may have huge benefits if done correctly. I also do not think it's nessacery to increase overall power consumption when using them.
The way to test this would be to set up a good control system and with LED tunable boards, the linear incandescent lighting system I dreamt up would consist on 24V 10W festoon bulbs and a reflector being each one, around 12 pcs of festoon bulbs across a 4X4.
Although they would be 24V bulbs they would be run off a 12V transformer to drop them down to 5W per bulb. Using 24V bulbs run at half voltage increases the lifespan by about 4X.
I believe that for 4 hours mid way during the light cycle Green and the incandescents should be tuned on, about 100W total, 60W incandescent and 40W green.
Not sure if the green is nessacery or not but I guess it's all worth a try. I have looked for studies on this but haven't found anything.
Need someone like you to do this Or_Gro because you would do it right.
