Does anyone know what the Kelvin is for the stock 40 watt bulbs that come with an all glass aquarium strip light?

I just picked up two 5k GE bulbs. They look pretty much like the sun. I would think the stock AGA bulb must be only around 2-3 k

violet is actually very high on the spectrum, even higher than blue. doesnt surprise me. if youre trying to grow plants i would say theyre not gonna except in the 5 gal. even the ten gal to a lesser degree.
