regarding lighting...

Okay, so I was doing a little more shopping and I was looking for a 6,500k light and after doing some research on forums I found a website that I can purchase what I am looking for, but my spores should be here tomorrow so that means I should be starting my project within the next few days..
So anyways I was at wal-mart looking for the right light, and I found several different lights, but I am not sure they are what I need. None of them actually state color temp. only power used and lumens created.
I did read however that the "daylight" type bulbs are in the temp range that I am seeking. here are a few pics of the lights I found, just curious if any of you have used these and know if they will work
 this one seems most promising out of the ones I found
 I am not sure if this is what I am looking for, because I am assuming this is a different color temp, and is more for stimulating growth in plants.. not sure. =/

Daylight is good. If you can open the packing without ripping it (you know, dont be a jerk lol) than check the base of the bulb. It will have the spectrum.

thanks guys, thats what I did. I looked at the ones here at my place and they showed the scale, which was 3000 so I went to walmart and checked the daylight ones and they read 6,500 so I went ahead and bought enough to replace all the ones in my house and the extra one I will need for my grow 
**I have an unrelated question, in regards to my jars, walmart only carries half pint jars, that are not the wide mouth ones... they hold the same volume as the wide mouth, just taller rather than wider... Is this going to cause any problems during fruiting?

You just want the mouth of the jar to be the size as the jar itself. The narrow mouthed ones make it difficult to remove the cake after colonization.

alright, those are the ones that I was going to get, I wasnt sure if that was going to cause any problems
when I put my cakes in the FC how much space should I leave between them, because I am going to have quite a few in the chamber at once. Is there a chance I could overcrowd the chamber?
this question is back ON TOPIC, regarding lighting again. I read that I want to have indirect lighting for the fruiting and all that, should I just point the light towards the wall so the ambient light will illuminate the closet?
I bought a timer today for the 12/12 time sequence, when do I start the whole light process? do I start during colonization and do I do a 12/12? or just for fruiting?
