id say no. Its just a Large halogen light. Halogen lamps are high-pressure incandescent lamps, containing halogen gases such as iodine or bromine which allow the filaments to be operated at higher temperatures and higher efficacies. While excellent for home lighting and similar applications, halogen lamps are not effective or efficient as grow lights, due to their limited spectrum and high operating temperatures

Hope that helps

Check out this light. Works great for seedlings and the Blue Streak I just finished.
