Ok what about these bulbs light?

Ok what do you guys think about these bulbs:
www.lite-house.com/catalog_product.cfm?first_visit=no&un=&pw=&source=Google.com-CompactFluorescentLightBulb&subcat=cfl5∏=TC18931

27 watts, 1750 lumens, and 6500k. 2 on a 15gal high should be a more than 2x13watt CFs right? Enough to redden up my fireball?

Said shopping cart empty...
I don't think with 27watt you will get a deep red, but it should darken up.

1750 lumens on 2 bulbs should be a lot more light than my current 2x13. For $22 after shipping, and a rework on my hood.

Here is a bulb that would work, but might heat the tank up to 100deg however. 7,700 lumens at 4,000K and $21.50 Each

I am scared about heat with this one,

Thats a bit hot, btu they have a 40w at 5100k, and 2800 lumens, but I was thinking 2, might be a bit much, with the heat again.
