Earlier this year, I ran into a deal on lights. Lowes had 4 foot, two-bulb, T-12 fixtures for $8.95 each and I got three of those. Then I looked over in bulbs and found a box of 10 T-12 bulbs (40W, Daylight, 6500K) for $19.95. They have been working great.

But like Ami, I am considering those spiral thingies for a small germinating section of my roll-around seedling rack. I'm putting together some changes on how I'm taking my babies from seeds to plant-out and those spiral bulbs will probably be an integral part of the new setup.

I also like the height adjustment strategy in your setup, Ami. I'm currently using chains from the light fixture up to some S-hooks.
