I recently found a place in Edmonton that sells a 24 watt compact floresent that screws into a regular light bulb socket with a colour temp of 6500k . Now I can't remember if it was made by Philips or Sylvania. I think it was Sylvania

I use the Bright White Compact Fl. bulbs 23w or 29w that you can sometimes find at CT or other hardware shop. It grows my caulerpa & red halimena no problem at all.
