The kelvin temp is too high in my opinion. I don't think I would use this if your goal is plant growth. You want something between 5500 and 6500K. That's the range for natural sun light.

I think the recommended is between 6500 and 10,000 k. Problem is usally equivalency doesn't matter, if it is 17 watts then that is the wattage you don't use the comparable wattage.

This isnt true for aquatic plants, but for terrestrial plants this wouldnt be ideal.

The only problem is that they dont say 90watts of which type of lighting, so yeah that 90watt of lighting to 17watts used is a garbage rating.
