lol...i know right where you got this light at...LOWES...it was in the outside security lighting area...and yes...it would be a great light for vegging...it is a day light...or a cool white...but you would need to still get warm whites for you flowering...it has a mogul base on it..so you will need a ballast...as your local hardware shop for a ballast...or if you havent purchased the light yet....go back to lowes and get the light fixture that it comes in...youll find it hanging up on the diisplay area...good luck growing..
