non HO lighting fixture for canopy

I currently have two 50 watt HO lights screwed into the top of of wood canopy aquarium. I am being told that the light is too much for the amount of plants I have so I want to cut back to non HO lights. I am having a hard time finding them. There are LED everywhere but my understanding is that they are also bright. So, I'm looking for fixtures to screw into my wood canopy top that will run non-ho lights. preferably fluorescent. I would like a single bulb one. Good for live plants

any suggestions?

not w/out more information.. Like the size..
One suggestion is to just switch the ballasts to non-ho ballasts..but most wouldn't bother
Your bulbs will work at a lower current (dimmer)
