Default What Lighting?

Hi everyone,

I'm brand-new to the hobby, and I'm starting out with a little 10 gallon. I'm not going to be very ambitious with it, just a clownfish (they're cool!) and some softies (mushrooms, polyps, xenia). Possibly some LPS, if they're easy.

What kind of lighting should I get? As I said, I'm not very ambitious so I don't want to get something that's totally overkill.

One idea was to use an ordinary incandescent hood with screw-in sockets, but use 2 x 24W 5000K self-ballasted PC bulbs instead.

JBJ Lighting also has this clamp-on http://www.jbjlighting.com/sys_clamp_on.html model. How does the 36W combo white/actinic compare with the idea above?

Thanks!
