No, if you want a cheap lightbulb type thing, at least get a PAR38 floodlight. They will grow cheato somewhat well.
What you posted is just a 17w little lightbulb, like for a lamp on a nightstand or in a ceiling fan fixture.

It’s a bulb size. Go to your hardware store and ask for the highest wattage par38 bulb they have. 100watt would be the minimum that would be sort of helpful imo.

Those bulbs should be fine. I used the same kind for my refugium for a while and they worked great. They're currently growing freshwater plants.

Macros prefer a lower K rating, such as 2700K-6500K.

I saw on another forum that they would work, just wanted to make sure here. Thanks
