The Primary Application: Plant; Standard; Indoor Floodlight . GE incandescent lamps represents the state of the art of lamps for residential and commercial use, as well as special purpose lamps for decorative or display applications. In an incandescent lamp, light is generated by heating the filament to incandescence. The hotter the filament, the more efficient it is in converting electricity to light. However, when the filament operates hotter, its life is shortened so the design of each lamp is a balance between efficiency and life. This is why lamps of equal wattage may have different lumen ratings and different life ratings. Incandescent lamps of similar size are commonly available with different wattage ratings. The fixture wattage limit should not be exceeded.

This light is poorly made and it doesn't work. It seems to be a regular light bulb with the blue layer painted on, after few weeks light chips from the heat. My plants didn't like the bulb started showing alot of brown leafs. Bad product, cant' believe GE would sell this.

Yes, this is a lightbulb, and it splashed a bright, warm light all over the room, but I would like to point out that no where on the packaging does the maker claim it to be a grow light, or make plants grow in general. It -does- say that it makes plants "look healthier", but nothing more. I bought this to try and grow a plant during the winter, and was sadly dissapointed that it did not do the intended task. However, it is a very good source of soft light, and I am otherwise pleased with it.

This is not actually a grow light. The product specs say that this light is tinted blue to make plants "appear" greener and healthier. Lame.
