possible new grow light?

ok so im walking through home hardware and i find this bulb that looks like a normal incandescent bulb minus the powder white coating...i read the box and it says 200watts,no biggy there...but heres what caught my eye...its puts out 3850 lumens...could i use some of these on my plant?

-Clear incandescent
-200watt output
-3850 lumen output

Thanks

Sure if you want heat problems and a high electric bill. Fluorescent or hid will give you about the same light, 3800 lumens, for only 40 watts of heat and electricity usage.

true dat.... preach on, bruva...

i wouldnt get the incandescent, as stated there will be potential heat problems - besides, fluorescents are better for that sort of thing.

i was at home depot today and i found this long dual fluorescent thing for 8.99 that uses two t12 40watt tubes. the tubes were in a 2pack for 3.99 so i got the setup for a little over 13 bucks! i think my clones very much appreciate it, 3200 lumens per tube. of course its nothing like my 1000watt hps but its still an awesome investment.

it prob doesnt have the right light distribution ie spectrum, that plants need
