I have a 240w LED light with UV and IR switches. When should I use both of those?

They should say Flower and Veg above each switch do they not?

2 hrs in the morning of flower then the last 2 hrs that way they can just run the next morning before you turn then off.......................
I made a run with them on the whole time in flower I don't think I would do that again..............................

Why Cap? The uv is only uva and the ir is proven to increase growth. They are meant to be on the whole time. I dont even know why the chinese build has switches. The original doesnt.

What were the negative effects of running the whole time?

the 1st run with them just on a few hrs the buds where nice and finished well....
the 2nd run that side of the tent the buds got burned when I really hit them hard with light...... I ended up just not running them.... I would Much rather have reds and far reds runing the whole time over the va/ir switchs...................................................

Uva that led has does not burn. Uvb does.

Something else had to be going on. The reds do up the intensity of the board.
