LIFX wavelength (can it do Far Red)

I've been thinking about picking up a Far Red board for EoD when I switch to flower. Was thinking about picking up a couple boards from HLG, but balked a bit at paying another shipping charge (I just got in another QB 288 last week to put together a dedicated grow light, wish I had thought of it at the time). Still not terribly expensive, but...

Then it occurred to me that I have LIFX A19 sitting in a cupboard not being used. I tried to look up the technical specs, but couldn't find much on the wavelength range, or the diodes used. I did find an analysis of the Philips Hue that shows it does produce light in the 730nm range... but nothing on the LIFX.

Anybody know if: a) it produces usable light in the Far Red wavelength range, and b) the adjustment through the app is fine enough to filter it into a narrow enough range to be used for Far Red EoD.

At 11w it should be more than enough juice, and the app would make it easy to set the timing.

Just a shot in the dark.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... silly padawan. It seemed plausible it 3:30 in the morning... totally sober, too, just tired. In the light of day it seems silly. Even if it produces in that wavelength it will be producing PAR too, and defeat the purpose. Guess I'll just drop the 40 bones.
