Looking at the specs it’s color is 3000k white. Why not just buy the bulb from HLG? It’s only $40 And is the correct wavelength.

Well there’s a specs section that you didn’t seem to open, but by all means buy these, they will cook your plants just the way you like them.

I guess my point is why would you spend more on a ge bulb that is not meant for the task rather than supporting a hard working light manufacturer that is doing great things to further our hobby? The HLG bulb is cheaper than the set your looking at, makes no sense to me.

ya thanks for posting that. I did look just didn't seem to correlate with the IR part. But I also posted the red ones think they are for chickens. But also an IR heater lamp.

They aren't gonna cook anything. They are only 250W and the reds are 175w and will be over 2 ft from the canopy.

the point is to get the IR photons for their effect and not general heating of the plants.

Plants don't sleep, at night they use starches stored from photosynthesis during the day.

Settle down? I was just sharing my opinion, next time don’t ask if you don’t want it. If you already have your mind set on buying the heat lamps just buy them.

Because I could fit up my room inexpensive and it's available locally. I didn't even know HLG sold those bulbs thought it was just bars.

I wrote that first and I thought better of it and deleted. Your post telling me to cook my plants the way I like them was what????

you're looking for 730nm by itself. If you just add "red" from those bulbs it won't do what you want. You're just giving more photosynthetic light (and heat) if it includes other spectrums (if switching phytochrome state quickly for faster ripening is the objective here.)

Yes we’ve heard of 730nm lights, it’s exactly what I suggested by HLG and available at a lower cost than the heat lamps that are not 730nm at Home Depot.

I don't understand how they are cheaper. But they seem to be cheap enough. Thanks for bringing to my attention.

IR probably wont do the trick since it starts at 780nm. They may emit some FR but thats not their main purpose obviously. That description does not match the bulb as well, they are something around 10W true from the wall. Check the far-red thread here, very interesting how the guys have gone thru all of this five years ago. There are a lot of electrical things I know shit about, but you will definitely find there answers to all of your questions you have now and also you will have yet. Than you will agree with me, that you are undereducated in this topic at this moment. No offense at all bro.
