If you can post a photo of your lamp and any details about the brand name, I will reply with the spectral power distribution chart.

Try using a cd and see which color is brighter. Look at the rainbow that appears on the CD.

This post is a little off-topic from the original post:
I have seen clear self-ballasted MVs for reptile use (100W) and was considering buying one for general lighting. I know these are intended to emit UV but would it be too much UV for general lighting? Is the UV amount higher than a typical 160W coated SBMV lamp? The descriptions of the lamp don't mention using suitable UV eye protection so I don't know if the levels are much higher than usual MV lamps.
