I use the T -8 plant bulbs from Hone Depot and they work great for pothos and umbrella plants. For the more high light plants like hibiscus you will need a better grow light the only cages I've had them work in are set up with quad fixture HO T-5s.

Its only 23 watts, with your cage i would maybe do 2 of them though, or as guanagator said, the T-8 bulbs work well too, but are more expensive

Just look for a bulb that says daylight and then look for 5000-6500k. That's all you need and far cheaper than a "plant bulb", which is mostly marketing hype.
