I'm using the type with the integral reflector (23W 5000K) and great growth with Chaeto but good luck finding at HD (ended up getting from lighting rep). HD carries the regular spiral CFL with the high colour, in a clip lamp with reflector probably would be okay.

I've been growing caulerpa, chaeto and gracillaria for a few years with 23W CF 6500K Daylight bulbs in a clip lamp. But I have a sheet of glass between the waters surface and the bulbs because cleaning salt off of a spiral bulb is a real pain... plus I doubt its good for them.

Buy a couple of those clip on ulitity lights for like $12-15 each and put 6500K spiral fluorescents in them. You can find the lamps in different colors; usually stainless steel, black or white, and then stainless steel or white on the inside. They all do the trick. I use Philips 23w 6500K bulbs in mine.
