Sometimes it does, other tmes it is only found on the packaging...
If you know the brand, and type, do a Google search as most manufacturers have specs for there tubes and bulbs online...

Matt
We have run a 6x2x2ft tank for a number of years, and many relocations, on flouro tubes and no fertiliser in the substrate or added. The growth after the first foot from the top has always been limited (slow).
After some discussion with my father who is in the lighting game i managed to get some 150W Metal Halide lights that all his customers with aquariums have been delighted with. Can supply more info if you like - it is definitely worth doing some homework with electrical wholesalers as they were a lot cheaper than anything i have seen in any fish shop.
After making a hood to hold the lights above the water and allow ventilation the plant growth has skyrocketed even at the base of the tank. The light level difference in the 2nd foot of water is phenomenal and it has significantly increased the colours noticable in the tank.
As far as we are concerned if you can go metal halide it is well worth it. Bare bottom is not really an option then though as there would be lots of reflection.
