There are warm white CFL and led bulbs. All fluorescent lighting will take time to come up to full brightness. Led bulbs like the Philips L prize winning bulb can be dimmed and do not have the delay associated with fluorescent lighting (CFL included). Halogen bulbs run far hotter than the typical incandescent bulbs and would require the appropriate fixtures.

I use bright white LEDs by the windows, which is the only place in my apartment that gets any real sunlight, even in summer, and is where most of my plants live when they're indoors. Now that my plants are actually nice to look at, I've decided that the nicer ones will take turns spending a few days at a time in my bedroom to give me something green to look at when I wake up. Supplemental light works quite well, so long as it's the right kind. Look for bright white bulbs. I use a cheap plug in timer so I don't have to remember anything, and I run the lights about 9 hours a day in winter and 12-14 in summer. Look for the light frequency on the little graphic on the back of the package or on the bulb's base. You need the frequency to be 4500 or higher, which is usually called cool light. Regular incandescent bulbs are iffy because they burn hot, so stick with compact CFLs or LEDs, which are much cooler, last longer, and are very efficient. The nice thing is that you can put one of these bright low-watt bulbs in just about any table lamp. A swing arm lamp would let you change the angle from time to time so the whole plant gets some light. The light needs to shine directly on the leaves, and needs to be close to the plant to be effective.
