I have exactly what JScott has...the hydrofarm lights and the same shelves. I bought them before the LED lights were as good as they are now. They work great but, if I was doing it now, I would go LED. With my fluorescent lights, every two years, I have to go to a hydroponics store and buy a bunch of new bulbs and then nervously and very carefully remove the old ones and replace them with the new ones. The new LED lights last a long time.
Whatever lights you get, make certain that they have been tested for safety and have a UL certification and that you plug them into a power strip with a fuse/surge protector.
