alright, thanks that does help.. i think, provided i just found the right specs.
i found the GE site that has the color temps, but all the product codes are slightly different than what i see listed on the bulbs (ex. my cool white is just called F40CW whereas the closest on the site is F40CW/ECO/CVG), so i'm still a little skeptical.

this is the spec site:
89714 - Lighting System Specifications - GE Commercial Lighting Products

and these are the printing on the bulbs

:wtf:

oh and probably a dumb question but:
are the colors one sees emitted by the bulb the color the plant absorbs, i.e if you have a red bulb is it gonna send out more red wavelengths?
for instance wide spectrum is purple-ish, so does it send a lot of red/blue?
kitchen/bath is orange, and the residential/cool white are about the same
