14 watts.
You have a 150 gallon tank. Unless you're going to keep literally nothing in there it's not going to be any use at all.

Decided to go with these at 50 watts I would have a pair of them either side and about 2 1/2 inches from the screen , does that sound ok ?

Have some CFL's with reflectors on hand for backup.

Dunno, might be ok, but I wouldn't pay 2 x £85 for something that might not work. I'd just go with the CFLs (which would cost you 5 quid a side for the bulb holder, reflector and bulb), like SM suggests and see how it works out.
The CFLs definitely do work.
But it's your money.
