That light doesn't appear to emit UVB, so you could use it as just a "light" to provide brightness, but that's about it.

Just for normal lighting unless you know how much uvb it's putting out if any, just because it's full spectrum doesn't mean that it does. Or even if the amount emited is enough for proper vitamin d processing.
