I've had a few pepper volunteers come up in my seed starts. They're happy little accidents, at least for the time being. Hopefully they wind up producing. Past results have been mixed, but I have the space so I separated them into their own containers.

I have no idea why, but my pepper leaves always turn black under my grow lights. They flip to green once they're outdoors.

Hey it could be enough to retain some heat and that’s the benefit you’re aiming for instead, or as you said, even containing the light is a valid reason, but it could also maybe be causing some issues if it’s causing hot spots. But you know your conditions better than me haha.

I would love to see random almost useless data like that. I dabbled in building my own light, I didn’t hate the results, but it was just a pain to deal with.

Lights

My light testing results.

I like to experiment and have fun, best way to learn is to fuck it up yourself.

Totally agree. "Go and see" and "learn by doing" are two things I take to heart.
