I've been told to buy a "full spectrum" light. Does this qualify?

My manual states it has up to 2,500 LUX of bright Natural Spectrum light so I always assumed it was full spectrum, but to further answer this question, you might want to contact the company, at verilux.com and ask them. I know I've been using it for almost a year and it has done wonders for me.

What is on the box is (Color enhanced) Full spectrum. It is a nice white light my wife uses in the bathroom for make-up etc.

These lights are what is called "full spectrum lights." If you take 20 minutes, or what the scheduled time is on the machine it is as if you were out in pure sunshine. This way yourbrain thinks that there is more sunlight in the day than there really is. If you need more light in the day this is the machine to purchase.

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!

I don't think it's full spectrum. I seen red whites and blues. It comes with legs. I don't think a hanging kit is an option. I love my light. I have it on a 18 g frag tank. Couldn't be happier and great price too!

I don't remember the actual specifications, but it does look quite natural, so it is quite likely full spectrum.

I believe it is advertised as such. I'm older and my eyes couldn't really discern any difference from a more typical fluorescent light.

No. The light spectrum is design for plant growth. Try Blue Max therapy lamps for SAD.

Wow. Congrats on stepping into the field. I have the B/H the 1080 HD. I would recommend if you can afford the ful spectrum to purchase it. But if you are just starting out you may want to go with basic infrared. Make sure it is something you truly want to peruse. Full spectrum has many uses but also has its flaws. Look me up on Facebook @ Kalkaska Paranormal for further help.

Just checked today on Intermatic website ST01 specification resource and it lists CFL/LED compatible.

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.

Take one of the bulbs to home Depot or similar store and ask them to find the specification for you

I think this fixture is more appropriate for providing light, specifically full spectrum, as opposed to heat. I believe it has a rather low total wattage that can be used, 25 watts on each side. So I don't think you would need two, unless of course you want a lot of light. The CF are nice as they provide full spectrum (UVB) in a compact bulb, eliminating the need for larger fluorescent bulbs. There are not any incandescent bulbs that put out UVB to my knowledge, but they put out a good amount of heat. The CF bulbs are nice as they are lower wattage so less energy. I believe lower heat but they're not really used for heat bulbs in reptiles anyways. I think this fixture is more appropriate for providing light, specifically full spectrum, as opposed to heat.

Yes. There spectrum includes both UVA & UVB. I use them to help both my reptiles and live plants get the light they need.

Yes it is a daylight spectrum, and it's nice and bright although I don't know the exact specs. It is like the original that came with the lamp. I have it on now, and although the lamp is angled down and not near my computer, it is bright enough to light my entire bedroom without the need for another lamp without casting shadow

I would say the new fixture would be better because you can customize the color spectrum. Your question would be better suited for the Finnex staff on their website.
