I dont think Fluros are going to be strong enough as they give out quite a soft light? We've had some success with standard 'work shed' spotlights from a chain hardware store. Dirt cheap but they run quite hot.

i was looking at daylight flouros today rated at 6200 kelvin and i am told you only need 5500 kelvin
