Plants and humans use light differently. Plants photosynthasis has do with color wavelengths, not light intensity. Foot candle light meters are for photography.

Plants photosynthasise using the orange and red spectrum, at about 600 to 700 kelvin.


The human eye can only see about 550.

I kind of think when people say Light, they are all talking about different things.
