The fixtures are run on ballasts set to a fixed wattage. I'm not too sure what the bulbs you're talking about are, but if it's a 2 ft. bulb, it should be 20w. If it isn't, or isn't very close, you'll have a really hard time getting what you want from the bulbs.

Plus terrestrial bulbs can be pinkish, since red light travels just fine through air.

I returned said plant light and got a daylight/full spectrum bulb, and WOW what a difference, it looks great. Let's hope the plants do ok.
