Are these "full spectrum?" Can they be used as grow lights? do they simulate a soft, white light or iridescent? Is the light natural looking?

These are full spectrum. The intended use is in a photo studio, I'm not sure if they could be used as grow lights, but I would think its a realistic application. These simulate sunlight. 'Natural' would be a subjective term. Since they're fluorescent they cast a slightly bluish green.

Yep! Been there done that! Great for vegetative state! ;) not as good as the more expensive grow lights. But, my plants did what they were suppose to do!

They are pretty normal looking with a hint of green, if you want grow lights they have them at the pet store for iguanas!

These are pretty large bulbs that I use in 1900's photographic processes because they are fairly rich in light at the blue end of the spectrum. They do NOT produce much UV wavelengths (380 nm and below). I believe grow lights include UV output. Natural daylight (which plants like) is rich in UV. As for a general room light, the cast is pretty industrial, not warm and inviting. They work great for my application.

They are as bright as a real candle. They are not bright like LED lights, or even a light bulb. They flicker like a real candle too.

This is a bulb intended to provide the spectrum that mimics sunlight in order to mitigate effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder. While they may function as grow lights, they are not designed to provide the same wavelengths of light at the same intensities as grow lights would.

i believe you'd call them white light not natural. Not a bad color but the shade on my light tinted.

I honestly think you will be okay, they are not as bright as I thought they would be. I have the 24" on a 20gal long with plants and am going to upgrade to something brighter. Hope this helps you.

Well its not giving us much information about spectrum but lumen level seems a bit lower then I would like, Using a fixture like this then I would stick to low to medium light level plants, if the mediums die out then you know you need to stick with low light level plants like java fern and anubias. Also depends on how deep of a tank you have. Try a few listed above, Would not buy a lot to try as they might end up dead.

Do not have an exact answer but I have purchased two types from the same manufacturer. The first were white light and a bit startling and different from incandescent that I am used to using. I really did not like them. The second purchase was of a warm light variety. Right now they are intermixed with the white light in the fixture. I will buy the warm or reddish light ones in the future. My disappointment in these lights is that three have burned out in the first six months and one lasted less than a week. They have held up better of late. They are in a fixture fed with a dimmer and I wonder if that is the cause of the failures. I am getting better at setting the dimmer slightly off the peak setting where the lights actual want to flicker. Off course I know the dimmer will not work but it is there and sometimes gets set inappropriately. Need to replace it with a regular switch one day.

Natural full spectrum, sunlight simulating 27 watt light bulb. Replacement for all lamps that use FM 27 watt (Bell & Howell, Sharper Image)

Nope but I did notice however LED lights are more effective as additional lighting. Mixing HID lighting or flourscent with is the way to go in my opinion. I've noticed better results and more natural growth. Pretty light tho- it's pink. You can use them by themselves tho too. I would recommend one plant per 135 watt ufo. Once you have 3 or 4 going it can get a bit noisey tho. Low heat is nice

It offers another part of the spectrum, more reds than the full spectrum daylight, so the color looks kinda pink. Aqueon doesn't yet sell a Floramax bulb in LEDs yet, but the Colormax does aid in growth a bit...

I'll try to answer this question even though the wording is odd. If you are asking where on the color spectrum they are, they are 6500K on the color temperature spectrum. This is similar to the color of daylight on an overcast day. Not really on the blue or orange side of the spectrum. Pretty close to white light. I can't find a wavelength chart that breaks down the distribution of wavelengths for these bulbs.

Colors on all sizes are the white, the blue, and the colormax. This particular fixture and any color lamps will not stimulate plant growth. Minimal Kelvin value and the 48 inch lamps output 7w each. I had the 48"fixture with one of each lamp, low light plants did fine but fluorescent bulbs created more growth. Hope this answers your question.

The title & description says "Daylight" & "Full Spectrum" in other words 5500K. A full spectrum is great for both grow & Bloom. Personally own the 6500k & 2700k with the official Hydro Farm Hood & I like it!

regular bulbs are not full spectrum unless its stated on the package. these are good though i ordered one a few months ago and with about 6-8 hours of use every day its still going.

These lights are only multicolored. There is a setting to make the light constant, or make it flash. I would assume they offer them in clear. I had these upon a large pine tree through the last Midwest winter, and they were surprisingly bright for being such small LED bulbs.

The light quality is very white(?,) not like sunlight or regular (incandescent) light bulbs. This helps me because I think I have (a) cataract(s.) This light quality may not be to the likings of some people. It is artificial... of course... lol!

They are small white lights. Very pretty. They are not solar, you have to plug them into your outdoor outlet on the patio. It is a skinny black cord that doesn't look too bad, especially if your table is close to the outlet like mine is. You can have the lights flash all at once, flash intermittently, or just still. I prefer them still, but I guess flashing might be fun for a party.
