Blue ceran wrap
    #19089283 - 11/05/13 09:56 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

This question is more out of laziness than anything else. I have many small light bulbs and a nightlight setup above my terrarium. The light bulbs have a reddish orange glow. If i put blue ceran wrap over the (just) the bulb, will that help? also is it safe?

Light bulbs get pretty hot.. it will melt the ceran wrap.. I heard the proper blue lights are only like 5$ from walmart

No, it's not safe.  You'll definitely wind up with a nasty, black bulb and a room full of BPAs.  There would probably be some fire and smoke at some point.

It's also not useful.  Keep in mind that you want as much light at a color temperature of 6500K as possible.  It's not that other wavelengths hurt it--mycelium just prefers to utilize light at the same frequency as put out by the sun, for obvious reasons.  Taking red-orange light (already too low a color temperature) and then filtering it doesn't increase the amount of light at the optimal color temperature.  It just subtracts everything else.
