I put these on gooseneck desk lamps with a timer. I think they’re a little more pleasing than some lights and they have a broad spectrum. Very bright, but need to be relatively close to the plant.

Gotcha! I was going to say when I did that I burnt the crap out of my poor plants :(
I use these bad boys with some clamp work lights. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NCVWFUE
If you have just the one plant, then I recommend a SANSI 15W grow light bulb (you supply the lamp).
Here are a couple options:
SANSI LED full-spectrum grow light bulb (I recommend the 15W over the 10W)

I have a similar light to the one you are looking at. Seems like a good light and LEDs are quite nice on the power consumption front. I would caution getting that light however if you are going to have the tank in an area where you will be hanging out, like your living room or such. That light, like mine, does give of a rather purple light and it can make the room feel a bit off.
A florescent or White LED strip light may be a good option for your setup. Right now I am looking to try something like your setup and I've been looking at these lights. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCVWFUE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xU0DAbKZ45395
