Default Deciduous plants and grow lights in winter

Is it possible to fool deciduous plants into keeping their leaves
durin winter by using grow lights to prolong the "day"?

If so, what kind of lights should I use? At the moment I have two
baby plants (about 30-40 mm high) under a single 20W household
fluoresent. Should I get one of those 105 watt Envirolites - they
seem quite inexpensive and cheap to run too (for about 8 hours per day
in winter. (4 hours in the morning and another 4 from late afternoon).
