5000k will work ok for veg, the MH that I use is 5000k, I couldn't find a better spectrum in 250w, but the plants seem to love it.
I'm not sure about the lumen output. If it's per tube it seems pretty high, 92 per watt, but it would be quite low if it was for both, only 46/w. Fluoros tend to be around 60-70 lumens per watt from what I read.
How many plants are you growing? You'll need more light than that if you wanna grow more than one small one.
