To give some context....
In nature the sunlight a tree uses is somewhat more than the surface volume of the top part of the tree where the leaves are. That happens due to the characteristics of light wavelengths and the fact that the plant cells where the sunlight reactions occur are somewhat transparent.
Similar to organisms in oceans the plant cells have more than one cell part tuned to more than one light wavelength so that the inner leaves are producing energy from a different light wavelength than the outer leaves.
Tech farms need to re-invent their light tech to make it profitable but no one has looked at the biology of it to understand that aspect as current tech lighting usually is one light wavelength instead of the two that are needed.
Okay rant off, my previous stint as a biology student rears its head again.
I did check this recently, light pipes are still only one light frequency.

You can buy lights on HLG right now that will hit blues and reds.
