To answer the original question, the light in the ad uses two T5 fluorescent tubes for a total of 110 watts of fluorescent light.
Yes, you definitely CAN grow two small plants under that light.
As mentioned, you can't expect a great yield from only 110 watts of light, but if you're OK with only getting maybe 1-2 ounces, I think you'll be pleased.
T5s do offer a few advantages over HID including low startup costs, cheap replacement bulbs, easy to change spectrum, and low absolute bulb temperature, meaning you can potentially let the plants get closer to the bulbs without burning than you could with HID lighting.
