Is this a suitable light to grow seedlings?

I had this laying around and didnt plan on using but I kinda wanna build a propagation and seedling box for control. The reason I’m asking is cuz I dont ever really see anyone use these. And if I did use it… it would be 12" from plant?

Even at 65W that will put out a lot of heat. If you have any CFL’s around they would be better and use less power.
But it would work. just keep it at a reasonable distance from the plant or you could fry it.

Yeah that’s what I was afraid of lol… thanks
