Default Cool Light "GE" and Algae

The tank is having a little algea growing on the right side of the tank (where the light is stronger). I may need to switch to a cool light "GE".

What is equivalent for this type (using compact flores.)?
I'm using Marine land compact that is 5100K. Is this equivalent?
Wondering is I could just put some smoked glass colored plexiglass over the right to reduce some of the light.

How about putting some green plexiglass to get rid of the higher frequency light (that algae likes)?
