Is your fuse box inside your grow area? Imo it's best to keep the grow away from any area that someone may need emergency access to. A green light would work to answer your question, I think you might be able to find them at a photo supply store but I would still seriously rethink having a grow that you have to get through to get to the fuse box. The same goes for a water heater, cable hook up etc, anything that a utility or emergency worker might have to get to even more so if the house is not yours.

the only correct answer. if you can see your finger as its touching your eye ball, it way too bright in there. the color we see does not correllate to what the plants see. many other spectrums are emmited from a green party light, and all of them will shock your plants

I actually disagree stinky, i've been using the green party bulb from walmart for a few grows to peek on them some times and i've never had a problem. It is a cheap light and works well, it will only slow plant growth down if you leave it on for a few hours. None of my plants became hermys with it.

thats what a forum is all about....im glad you havent had trouble, and i hope you dont. i have personally seen the opposite result tho :smoke:
 
I agree with burns. I've had a green light from home depot that I use just incase I need to go in. I have never had a problem with hemies or noticable stress. Just don't forget to turn the time off when you leave the room or the added hours might create a problem.

Green CFL light for entering after dark. Or you can use a flash light if you take Green Saran Wrap and put a few layers over the end. :D

I was under the impression he may possibly be "passing through" for a minute or two once in awhile,in which case a flashlight isnt going to hurt anything.If you're going to be in there several minutes every nite a say go with green
