50 watt LED spotlight any good for growing?

[Bullet527]

Okay so it's my first time growing and I'm not looking to grow a whole crop just a single plant to see how it goes. So will a 50 watt LED spotlight be any good? It has a color temp of 6500k and I'm attempting to grow Swazi gold.

I guess i should add it's a powerful spotlight they use at the mines near me for underground lighting so it's also on 24/7. I'll also add what the back sticker says;
Model: SOL-LED-FL-50-220.
Input: 86-265V.
Color temp: 6500k.
50W, IP65.

I've not seen a 50W LED spot. Is it 50W equivalent?
I'd go with CFLs unless someone knows a lot more about the bulb you are considering. A single LED bulb, even is it is a true 50W draw won't do a single plant well, IMO. If it is a really small grow it might work, but CFLs will give you better coverage and probably less heat issues for less money.

Oh, BTW to Best of luck!

Absolutely agree with post above.

Im currently using 2 of these 50w spot lights as side lighting and 2 super cheap LED grow panels as main lighting, I spent $100 in total on all 4. I tried and tested using just the 50w but the results were inferior to the cheap grow light. They work well as supplemental lighting.

If you got it already,then you can start to grow under it,but it's good on it's own ONLY for few weeks maybe month-for 1 plant-
Since it's 6500k it's ok for veg .Start with this then add more other light sources
