iHigh Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Would IR light from something like a CCTV camera, or a remote blaster for the aircon, disturb a plant in dark cycle ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smelly Joe Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Depends on how bright the light is. Any pics of your "problem"??? Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 It could cause your plants to reveg. Just stick a piece of cardboard over it. Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreX Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Light is light... But I don't think it's strong enough for reveg. If you can imagine a full moon.. That doesn't cause the plants to reveg and the moons reflected light is much brighter than the IR leds on your cameras. I wouldn't worry too much about it, but if it concerns you you can maybe put an on/off switch to the cameras power, so it will only be on when you want footage at night, and not so much of a constant thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iHigh Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Thanks all for info - my thinking was that because it is IR, it will fall outside the light spectrum that a plant would be able to react/interact with, and therefore shouldnt cause any adverse reactions... I have a device that would allow me to program/control my aircon according to a schedule, allowing me to make temperature shifts between my day and night temperature more controllable, and allow automatic AI changes to the aircon settings depending on temperature and humudity, and it works on IR... Going to give it a go ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
