Essentially, plants mostly need certain wavelengths of blue and red light (Hence why grow lights are usually purple when turned on). Wavelengths not used by plants dont do any harm, they are just reflected/not used. Green light for example, is not used at all. Which is why plants look green, the green light is reflected to your eyes.
Your typical shop lights are designed to mimic the color of daylight/warm white, and usually end up heavy on the green/orange range. You would be missing the critical blue range. This isnt to say a shop light wont work, it just wont work well, meaning you have to have more lights at closer range than a properly designed light.
All plants are different too, some dont need certain wavelengths that others do.

( It's genuinely spooky how unintentionally prescient this movie this movie has proven to be.)

Curious where did you find this? And is this a good or bad value for this size light?;;

A PPF of 50 is good for low light plants, but you should read up on this and not trust a rando on SD :

If you looked at the emission spectrum graph I posted you would see marginal blue wavelength output for a warm white LED LIGHT.

Do i really need a fan to get my plants used to wind I just saw that posted here

So specifically to the question whether work shop lights are just as effective compared to specified 'grow light', it sounds like the answer is likely yes??
Is it just a matter of intensity/brightness then, as long as lights are white?

This exact phenomenon is why you should never, never buy or use cheap sunglasses that aren't explicitly listed as being 100%UV filtering. It's bright outside, you have dark sunglasses and you think you're okay, but you're actually slowly being blinded over time by the UVA and UVB light that is going right through the sunglasses.
It was pretty common in the 80s for people to use cheap sunglasses while they were snow skiing, and a lot of people started developing varying degrees of permanent vision loss before they figured out what was going on.
The good news is that if you just have another fairly bright light on in the room so that your eyes can adjust appropriately then it isn't any worse than indirect sunlight. Just turn a brighter light on nearby when you're in the room, and you don't have to worry about it. š
Grow lights like these that produce a broader spectrum of light are actually less damaging to your eyes than the light from incandescent bulbs. (Either way, don't go holding a light bulb up to your eyeballs!)

LED emits them more efficiently than the latter by not putting so much heat which is bad during winter cause some people need to grow with humid warm temps
