Infrared light is not ideal for plant growth as it is not within the visible light spectrum that plants use for photosynthesis. Plants primarily require red and blue light for optimal growth. While a small amount of infrared light can be beneficial to plants, too much can actually be harmful and lead to excessive heat buildup.

Are energy saver bulbs good for growing?

Energy saver bulbs like compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) or LEDs can be suitable for growing plants that do not require high levels of light. However, for plants that need more intense light for healthy growth, it is recommended to use specialized grow lights that provide the specific light spectrum needed for photosynthesis.

If you have a 30 gallon planted aquarium is a 17 watt fluorescent light good enough to keep the plants growing?

A 17 watt fluorescent light may not provide sufficient light for a 30 gallon planted aquarium. Plants generally require around 2-3 watts of light per gallon for optimal growth. Consider upgrading to a higher wattage or a more efficient lighting system to support the needs of your plants.

Why use incandescent lights on the plants?

As a single light source for plants, incandescent light bulbs are not particularly good. They are a good source of red rays but a poor source of blue. They produce too much heat for most plants and, if used, must be located some distance from the plants, thus reducing the intensity of the light the plants receive. They are also about one-third as efficient as fluorescent tubes in converting electrical energy to light. Furthermore, a standard incandescent bulb's life is often only about 1,000 hours, whereas a fluorescent tube's life is normally 10,000 hours or more. Fluorescent tubes provide one of the best artificial light sources available for plants in the home. Other light sources such as sodium-vapor and metal halide lamps may be used but are not as readily available or adaptable for home use. Hope this was the answer you were looking for.
