Default 750 Watt Equivalent 5500k CFL

Am just starting to experiment with growing under supplemental light and ran across a 5500 k, 750 Watt equivalent CFL. Are these better for growing orchids... or sauteing them? That sounds like a lot of light to me.

Right now CFLs and clamp on fixtures are what I can afford. The 750 watt bulb fits the clamp-on style grow fixtures that I have, so I could use it... but don't know if I should. Presently I've got a mix of 2700K and 6500K, from 150 to 200 watts equivalent on a collection of about 15 orchids ranging from angcm to catts to phals....
Has anyone used that high a CFL wattage? Any thoughts or feedback?
