Refugium Light - What one is better?

New to saltwater and just got my 225g setup and cycling. I would like to get some chaeto stated for pods, my sump is a trigger systems 39 if that helps on space.

Was looking at hydroponic lighting for growing plants and am torn between two at Amazon. I would love to keep with the E27 (or similar) LED form factor since it allows great flexibility at mounting options and is pretty cheap to replace when things break. I am planning on running this light when the display tank is off (inverted light scheduled).

Option 1:
TaoTronics Led Grow light Bulb

Option 2:
15W Full Spectrum Led Grow Light Bulb for Planting

If there is something better you recommend please let me know, trying to avoid going overkill and getting a 60W+ LED system for a small compartment.
 
I've been using option 1 and have been pleased with my chaeto growth. Only drawback so far is I'm not digging the pink hue coming from the sump cabinet at night.
