They should say something like soft white, cool white or warm white, or something along those lines. The cool white bulbs are usually in the blue spectrum, the soft white are usually in the middle of the spectrum, and the warm whites are in the red spectrum.
They said the spectrum on the ones I bought.
looks like they are going to be warm
I'm gonna chime in here and say "so what."
I bought both the daylight cfl's and the cool white cfl's from Wal-Mart for my veggin' and I didn't notice any difference in growth between the two. I did notice a drastic color difference, the cool white ones look like my HPS and the daylight ones look like my MH but it didn't seem to matter.
People if you are gonna grow, get serious and get some real CFL.
You don't get them at Wal-marts.
