Well, light doesn't have any quality called 'spectral output' that I know of!
I think you're talking about the hyperfine splitting, and how magnetic fields can affect the light produced by atoms immersed in the field -- and this is correct.
However, once emitted by the atom, the photons themselves are not affected by the magnetic field in any way.
