Easy answer: Purchase a daylight 42 watt CFL bulb for bigger/more plants or a 23 watt CFL if you're growing smaller/less plants. The standard bulb you have wastes a lot of energy (money) on creating heat.
Complex answer: If you are trying to grow plants that flower, you need both red and blue light. Red for the flowers to grow and blue for the vegetation/leaves. You'll want to purchase an LED grow light bulb that emits both forms of light. These are the most energy efficient bulbs converting nearly everything into useable light for the plant. The only downside is they emit an ugly purple color and it can be unsightly in the home when it's on.
I ended up going with this bulb and a clamp lamp based on your recommendation; here is a pic of my baby setup.
I use this 40W blue CFL and a digital timer connected to a lamp by my bed. Works great!
If possible pick up some CFLs like these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AZOV9K/
I have my mothers and clones under 4 of these and some lower wattage daylight CFLs and they've all been very happy. Keeps seedlings and clones from stretching
I use one of these attached to a clamp lamp. It stays on for about 14 hours a day and I use it on about 3 or 4 other succulents. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001AZOV9K?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Growing next to reflective walls helps a lot. No need to get fancy. Simple white walls would do.
Also, you may not be too happy with just CFLs you got at Lowe's. You'll need more light and you'll want it at the correct color temperatures so it produces light the plants need.
Here are the bulbs for veg (you need 3 per plant):

Here are the ones you need for flower (need two of these per plant):

This is where I found the info:

I thought about doing a CFL grow. I changed my mind after I saw how much I was going to pay for light bulbs.
Good luck with your grow.
edit: removed the tinfoil hotspot myth
I've actually had really good growth with these
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AZOV9K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ay-CCbPDK02ZN
They also sell packs of multiple if you just Google the light name
Pic one is January 19th. pic 2 is today, February 25th
One of these + one of these is what I have set up. Only downside is the light turns on suddenly but you get used to that. And it's cheap! (And winter is coming... no one likes waking up in the dark).
Just searched amazon, found a 200w equivalent 40w cfl that would probably work.

Those limits are for heat reasons, so as long as the bulb is lower wattage than the rating, you're good.
the sidebar suggests 14 of these:

approx. $36.54 with four lights left over
or 9 of these:

approx. $71.73
A little late to the party, but I just got these. Waiting on them to come in the mail but they seem to be very promising.
I also just heard about using High pressure sodium Lamps, a bit over the top for me, but I thought I'd pass on that as well.
Good luck!
I can answer this one! I have an awful situation where I live in the best place ever for succulents - Southern California - with tons of sun and absolutely none of it hits any of my windows. So I bought this bulb and this grow light and I have five happy babies that are growing on my desk with no natural light. The grow light on it's own wasn't enough, but the light+bulb have been working great and all of my succulents are growing again.
Okay I will get a bigger pot and remember potting soil, thank you.
So this would suffice for light then?
Desklamp with a 6500k CFL?
Bulb
Lamp
I got one of these for my herbs and succulents. It's a 40 watt CFL bulb that outputs the equivalent of 200 watts! It's been about 2 weeks and my plants seem pretty happy.
sweet! I have thought about getting some lights for my plants, but i thought LED lights is the only thing that works?
Anyways, I will definetly be buying a couple of those!
EDIT: For some reason I am not able to buy exactly those in my country, do you think these will do? http://www.amazon.com/Feit-Electric-ESL40TN-Fluorescent-High-Wattage/dp/B001AZOV9K/ref=lp_328863011_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1372178555&sr=1-14
