Information about Kelvin colour temperature

PURple Purple is perfect for all stages of plant growth, germination, root development, tuber and bulb formation and gives lots of internodal growth, and budsites. Great for orchids, cacti, ethnobotanicals, coral, sea plants etc. A small amount of NEAR UV ensures good production of essential oils - Great for Basil and other aromatic herbs.
BLUE. stimulates chlorophyll production more than any other colour, encouraging thick leaves, strong stems and compact vegatitive and leafy growth, keeps internodes close. Great for seedlings and cuttings. Perfect for plants cropped before flowering stage, such as lettuce and cress. With only blue light your plants stay short, and maturity takes much longer
RED encouages maturation of fruit and flowers towards the end of growth cycle. Use exclusively for the finishing period to maximise your fruit or flower yields. Perfect for flowers, peppers, and tomatoes. Too much red and no blue early on will S...t......r....e.......t.....c....h... your plants and increase internode distance.

im thinkin of buying a Nlite 125 Watt. Self Ballast. PURple CFL.

I cant find these in the states. Any help to point me in the right direction would be appreciated.

purple would work (almost any light would work ) but they are more for certain plants i`ve used them with not much success. would make more sence if you need to buy bulbs buy ones meant for growing marijuana./ i also believe you loose alot of lumens with purple bulbs. just my opinion though
