I found this light and its is called Plant Gro&Sho. Made by GE. 15w/120v. From the socket part up to about 1/4 inch from the top is white, and the rest is a bluish color. What kind of light is this and is it worth putting over my kids? Thanks in advance.

it will be ok for baby plants. blue spec for vegg. 15w is not a lot . maybe for 1 or 2 clones or seedlinge . but not for proper growing. hom many babys and how many lites do you have.
for example i use flos, for first week then 250hps, blue spec. for rest of vegg, then 400 hps. for rest of growth flowering ect.... for 4 plants maybe 6. depending on size of plants.
craige....

My bad it is 150 watt. Does that wattage make a difference? I also have to 13 watt cfl's that sit on both sides of the plants. I have two plants and they are about 2 in. tall.

Wow. That light is bright. I have had it in there for about 5 minutes and it instantly made it hotter in the grow box. I was sitting at 75 no matter what and now its at about 82. I want to stay with cfl's all the way through. Which type do you guys like when flowering? Any help is appreciated.

It is an incandescent bulb. It's narrow band of usable light is a very bad trade off for the heat it generates.
