Personally I still use those in a couple of lamps assembly but only until I end upgrading them. They are not safe for aquarium use (indoors use only, not to be used near water). Their life (as for keeping plants) is quite limited for the tipically prolonged "on" time (12-14 hours?). I ended up replacing them every two to three months so it's not cost-effective long term.

Thanks everyone as well - I have the same problem with my 10gall - the hood looks the same and my light is very yellow - it really doesn't show my neons very well at all.
