Default Lighting Halp Plz.

i have a variety of plants in my 15 gal aquarium. currently i have a baby amazon sword, a dying older sword [it outgrew the tank anyway, i'm removing it shortly] a bunch of elodea/anacharis, 2 anubias barteri, 2 anubias afzelli, 3 java ferns, and 3 unidentified, grassy-looking plants [i believe they are some form of sagittaria, they were potted with the afzellis so i got them by accident]

currently i have the light strip that came with the tank on there, your basic all-glass aquarium fluorescent light strip. i know it's a 15 watt bulb, and definitely not enough wattage. i'm not sure of its K rating...it gives the tank a very cold, whitish look. yuck.

can someone recommend a good light strip i can use? i have a glass cover over the top of the tank. i'm looking to spend less than $75, if i can help it.
