light and plants what's to know?

Question

What I already know they like blue and red not so much green or yellow supose thats why they look green yellow they are refledting not absorbing. I think there are newer technologies that make better 12 volt dc to good plant light out there and the grow light manufacturers are laging behind. I need to know how to find out what aprt of the spectrum different new lights put out and how that matches what plants like when and no I'm not growen pot and yeah I am60 and bush,s policy's make bein poor hard, if you lived on a fixed income like disabled vets do you'd know that I need a reference or the right search words or an aggie person to match new tech with plant needs. thanks for previous helps
