The orphek one look decent. I think they will be two bright for moon lights and a bit to dim to grow anything. They might help has supplemental light or to run a dusk dawn function.

Where can the be purchased?

I was looking into these also and I read somewhere on the net that they need a different ballast made for them. I was hoping that they could just be swapped with a T5HO bulb.

I think it would be better to buy something like a stunner strip.
