Hard to say without the spec, aquarium lamps often have a fair bit of UV
Should be ok, but I'd be tempted to try it on a houseplant or some cress first maybe?
Just to make sure it doesn't burn or cause leggy seedling

Most likely it is just a LED designed to light up the aquarium so people can see the fish. The aquarium lights designed for tanks with live plants seem to be a lot more than a strip light type of fixture. They cost like a decent plant light does and have similar draw at the wall when thinking about wattage used.

hi pal I was looking for it through google images on my neighbours phone I think its just a cheap light I could not find it its bright though. I also never thought about the use of light to keep plants alive in tank thanks for that

I will get a better pic later with my camera later

It should not flicker as far as I know. You mention that you had to get the plug for it. I would check there first looking for loose connections.

I have a few tanks that came with similar lights. Roughly 1.5 wat per LED so 16.5 wats over the length of the fixture. Enough for starting seedlings if you keep the light close. At 4 inches tall the light won't be strong enough. A cool white led bulb in a desk lamp would out perform it.
