I also have a LED-bulb now (6W, 400 lm, E14, 2700K) but it just doesn't seem to give enough energy. It is bright though, and certainly illuminates the whole plant. The bulb on the upper picture looks good, but maybe you should look for something even more powerful than what you've posted here. (I'm also considering buying something more powerful)

Maybe a fluorescent bulb?

Always get full spectrum. They are more effecient, and better for the plants!

Here is what I meant with fluorescent bulb:

I'm going to buy one soon as well. These thing output about 1300 lumens @6500K, but more lumens = better.
