I use a home depot 75w equivalent 5000k led bulb (it looks like a regular light bulb) and it grows chaeto like crazy. Think it cost like 8 bucks. But I'm sure the one your looking at will work fine, chaeto isn't picky!

I tried the 65 watt equivalent BR30 grow bulb from Home Depot. It didn't work so well so I upgraded to the 75 watt equivalent Par 38 grow light bulb. Now my chaeto is growing like crazy
thanks that is the one I'm getting. Could you give me an idea on spread and depth? my fuge is pretty big, so I might need a lot. Also, how did you hang the,? Could you post a few pics? would be much appreciated

I used zip ties and a cup hook to hang it
Here are some pics with a ruler to give you some scale:
