Shortening flowering + Far red and Near-infrared Lights - what is known?

Seems like some people can have nights shorter than 12 hours if you supplement 2 hours of far red and near infrared? Could this shorten the flowering cycle?

Yes. A far-red burst will increase phytochrome red concentration at night. 2 hours faster.

This would enhance flower maturity if done at the beginning of every night as it would spend longer with greater concentrations of flowering hormone

Thanks. Any reference please?
What is the wavelength range to estimulate phytochrome red concentration?

I don't see why some would call this elementary observation advanced, please enlighten us...?
