And? I talk to non-art students. If you never have to think about it, most people won’t. I promise you, there are plenty of “obvious” topics you are oblivious to and misunderstand. We all have them.
Really shitty ones are. High quality grow lights use full-spectrum lights including far-red and infrared, and are proven to be more effective than the so called “blurple” temu lights
And you can see sooo much of the infrared and ultraviolet part of the spectrum. What you see is still a kind of pinkish-violet.
By the way, no LED based light is “full spectrum”. That is a common lie. Growth lights have violet-blue LEDs in the 200-400nm range, and red ones in the 600-800nm range.
If you do a spectrum analysis of any LED light, you will see distinctive, narrow peaks around the LEDs core frequencies, usually with a bandwidth of 12-40nm.
Yep, but it is confusing for many, if not most people. A lot of people simply don’t understand why plant growth lights are pinkish-violet, not green.
I teach art classes. People seem to get it.

I don’t teach art students, I teach one-off classes to teens and adults.
