try to email or call them for the specs on that bulb. Generally you want about 5000k to 6700k to get the colours you need for good photosinthesis.

Definitely email them. This phrase "In furniture, showcases, bathroom cabinets, transportation and leisure applications" along with the claim to high lumen output leads me to believe they are made for the human eye, not plants. Not that they can't be both, but check.
