Are you sure you don't mean 100
lumens?
The equivalent lumens for a 100W bulb would be 1300-1700 lumens.

What I need to know is that sort of light better for plants?

Not necessarily.
The action spectra for photosynthesis, as well as the absorption spectrums for chlorophyll
a and
b, can be found here:
Action & Absorption Spectra
While most photosynthetic activity happens towards the red spectrum, much absorption is taking place in the blue/violet spectrum as well.
I don't really know what THE best light is for growing, but I know high-pressure sodiums are highly esteemed (they glow orange-red).
Perhaps one of those coupled with a blue party light.
