I think they will work, but not well. You say its low wattage, high wattage is better. Those with your cfls might produce some interesting results.
It wont ad anything substantial.
I use 2 cfl UVB reptile bulbs and 1 30" t10 tube in my grow. 1 cfl and the tube are 10% UVB and one cfl is 5%.
I saw results in my flower girls within 3 days! More trich production, and interestingly, tiny petiole leaves turning away from the UV light sources!
UVB, IMO, is the missing link to flowering under fluorescents.
I use an 8 tube (with 6 bulbs) T5 4' fixture with red bulbs and the above uv bulbs. A friend likened my bud to that grown under 600w HPS. good, tasty, frosty. Just not quite as tight buds as I would have gotten with more red in spectrum.
I will say that after six months of flowering under them, the bulbs NEED replaced. They light, they're bright, but the power is fading..... fading...... fadi............................
