Those are more for "nano" setup's and work good for bearded dragons . Also only have 3% UVB but if all you can get for the cost better than nothing. If you do get I would offer some outdoor sun in your turtles life , a couple hours a day.

Most use 5.0% for sliders found to work well when place at the correct distance , some even 10% depending on size of tank and ones with very large setups use Mega Ray's that offer more of a true outdoor sunlight but then the cost.

Something like this would be better BUT it's only UVB : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ultravi ... st=ae803_2

Then for UVA the heat use a regular incandescent bulb just be careful it does not get wet.

I would only get UVB lamps from established companies...what are the major fish/reptile turtle brands over there?
