your best bet is to get the screw in bulb type hood and install some cfl bulbs.

Yes, or if you're going the cheap route you could get a normal desk lamp and use any full-spectrum CFL, you can get a lamp in any watts you wanted, lol

I agree with Mgamer here. I have one of those cheapy black hoods that I got from wal mart, I painted the inside white and have a 20w bulbs that I bought in the lighting section. Total price something like 20 bucks and my plants grow like mad. Thing is with this much light I also add DIY co2 and fertilizers to keep the algae at bay.
