I think some kind of contraption can be built quite cheaply, besides I don't think a fan is absolutely necessary as LED lamps emit very little heat. Besides, the lamps on the picture above are very high over the seedlings, if they were lower less light i.e. less expensive lamps would be needed.

My Costco shoplight LED is not suitable for tomatoes
I'm not so sure as I think tomatoes are extremely hardy plants growing under incandescent /fluo / LED lights. At least for seedlings. Of course if one intended to have tomatotoes flower and give fruit under artificial light it would be different.

All the best
