I some CFL's from walmart the other day, they are the 150w type. The box did not say what type of light they gave off. When i screw them in the bulbs give off a very orange light. Is that bad? should they be more in the blue spectrum?

They really should say somewere their spectrum
they might use the "cool white" "warm white" lingo.
