I use Barrina LED lights, they are amazing! Bought some pink ones a few years ago, and will be getting some white ones to add to my set up this year. My mother took over several of my grandmother's plants after she passed away, and her aunt has been added more to the collection over the years since. Being in New England, her apartment is terrible for lighting in the winter, and a number of the plants were seriously struggling last year. I attached one of my lights to a shelf for her, and all the struggling plants were thriving by spring!
This year she nearly killed one of the plants her aunt gave her, by taking too many cuttings, and trying to propagate it. When she gave it to me to save, it was two scraggily sticks, with a few shriveled leaves left on it. Putting it under a grow light for about five hours a day, and leaving it near a heating pad that I'm overwintering some strawberry plants on, her plant now has four new sets of leaves growing!
I can't rattle off the technicals about them, but bought 'em off of Amazon. They're tube shaped, starting at 1 foot, and also come in 2', 4', and 8' sizes. The ones I have are two feet in length, and I attach them to my three foot shelves. I put one in the back, to the left side, and one in the front, to the right, or vice versa, then surround the shelves with Mylar "emergency blankets". Since I started using LED lights, I have to start my seeds later in the season. Plants do so well under these light, if I start them too soon, I end up trying to move a forest around while bring them outside to harden off in the spring.
