nova extreme pro has a 6 bulb in 20 inches. the down side to anything under 24" is that no one makes bulbs for them. I agree with lastlight, take a look into LED's esspecally for what you want it sounds perfect

The DIY forum on RC has a few amazing write-ups if you're feeling adventurous. I think most people are using the CREE leds.
