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.

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.
