Then you probably need to be looking for a mains powered RGB LED 
controller that has output power and programs that suit your needs.

And some RGB LED strips to go with them. You can also buy RGB mains 
lamps with colour remote controllers as fairly cheap consumer items.

Full spectrum is generally used to market agricultural lights and over
