| There are red coloured fluorescents available, but they are based on halophosphates and are far from monochromatic, more a broad orange-red spread. I'm not aware of a fluorescent that contains just the red triphosphor which would give a near monochromatic red at 611nm. |

I found what I was looking for.
Sylvania Pentron T5 54Watts HO.
They come in Red, Blue and Green. 
Do plants need more red light then blue? Or should I put equal amounts of red and blue? I bought the small colored 13 watts CFL just for a test. The combination of red and blue makes a very nice pure purple color. |
