The IR in the Orphek is reportedly there as an aid to photosynthesis. Ronny Schopke from Germany sent me some data confirming this, and I also discussed it with Immo Gerber while in Italy (he stated there was data from a university confirming this.) I've got the instruments to test this but haven't had the time lately. As far as UV output goes, I wouldn't be overly concerned about its impact on fluorescence. Out of several hundred pigments I have in my database, only 6 or so have a maximum absorption below 400nm. Many more in the violet range.
