Nope. 
The first thing you need is research. 
It all depends on which type(s) of plants you want. Plants have different light and temp requirements, different max. lengths, and some of them are edible while others... not so much.
What size tank do you have (can't read your sig at the moment)? What fish (can't see sig)? Temp? Type and age of light? Plant preferences? Reason for wanting plants?

Attitude!
Your original question was as vague as me asking you what would be the best way to get to Peking!
You cannot expect a detailed answer to a question that general or vague. How can someone suggest what lighting you need if they do not know what kind of tank it will be under - yes, you have a sig, but presumably you already have light on them, so it is just as likely that you are thinking of a new setup.
Lighten up, you'll find you get better answers that way.

By the way, if you go to add reply, you can't see the sig. Either way, you have nothing in there, so you have to give us an idea of what will be in there.
As for lightening up, more like stop being a jackass. I'm a very amiable person, but ignorance like yours pisses me off.

No, that wasn't supposed to help you. You stated that I needed glasses because I couldn't see. the point I was making was that I was in a window where I couldn't see your sig.
Now, I personally don't have any specific information, but I can tell you that your local library would be able to give you specific info on those types of plants (the aponogeton for sure). They'll give you the light requirements, temp, and length so you can choose the amount and duration of light, the placement of the plant, the numbers of plants, and the temp to keep the plants in.
However, the types of fish you buy will affect the success of the plant growth.

I assume you bought those bulbs from wal-mart. The aponogetons aren't very demanding. I'm growing some with low lighting and nothing else. I am, however, growing other aponogetons in high light with CO2. Just watch your plants closely, and address any problems that may arise.
Are you having any specific problems at this time?

Heh... in actuality we can gather all of the tank lighting/temperature/substrate/co2 information telepathically... we just pretend to make it all difficult.
