 Philips Natural Light Plus

I was at homedepot and i saw these bulbs there 75 watt PAR38 Flood indoor and outdoor use, are they safe to use? under the light tester thing you can see all the deffernt types of light and these are supposed to give colors and details just like in the sun and it works in the test thing just think it would be great for lighting and stuff for only extra 6 dollars vs regular floods but didnt know if it was safe or okay for them i have read about uv lighing for like chinese water dragons making them blind and they were really reti bulbs bough at a pet store just for that so any help is appriciated thanks

There is no UVB being emitted. There may be some very trace amounts of UVA. They are perfectly safe bulbs and are color accurate. I’ve used every bulb at Home Depot and they are fine.

I just bought today the 75 watt color enhancing par38 indoor/outdoor bulbs, couldnt find phillips so i got GE. My enclosure looks exactly the same. I got 2. At 13 bucks a pop im not impressed, taking them back. Do u think them being GE vs phillips could b the reason? Oh well, let me know if ur phillips ones do better
