Steve is right. Those would be 19 watt bulbs effectively.....so you are now a little over 1w/gal. The "19 watt replaces 75 watts is replacing the effect of a 75 watt incandescent light. These have much less effect on planted tanks, from what I've read. I have also asked around about this issue myself and was told unanimously that you would have 19 watt CF bulbs.
Remember that the 3w/gal rule is subject to change under different circumstances (water depth, clarity, spectrum, etc.), so I would think that since your 19 watt bulb is grouped more tightly than a 15w NO Flourescent bulb, that it is more effective over the area it is over. For instance it probably is brighter for the 6 inch radius under it than a longer NO bulb. The whole advantage of CF bulbs is fitting more light into more "compact" spaces. Yours is even more compact than most CF bulbs sold for aquarium use, therefore MY THEORY is that it is more efficient for the area it covers. I believe that even though you have maybe 1.25w/gal working for you in your tank now, that to add one more bulb would probably get you to the effectiveness of 3w/gal of normal bulbs. This is MY THEORY ...... make your own assumptions!
There are so many variable in these "formulas" that I'm learning to find a "starting place" and work from there with personal experience. I'd suggest the same to others
