The fixtures will be ok - but not the regular shop bulbs. You need to get one warm and one cool or just get natural or full spectrum bulbs. My experiment growing thousands of seedlings in my basement show little differences in results. I still use 4 four foot T-12s and 4 T-8s. I also have 800 Watts of metal halide warehouse lights over the entire area. Everything is on timers. I run fans too and humidifiers and timers - generally 12 on 12 off. A month from now 13 on. I add an hour per month.
Shop light bulbs will not serve your purpose. If buying new, get T-8. If you have a T-12 just use it til it dies. The T-8 is a bit more efficeient than T-12.
