I use T5 grow light bulbs with 6500 k. They cost about $5 each for 48 inch tubes. I think they are called 'planet lights'.

Although red and blue light are used mostly by plants, they use all the other colors of the spectrum too. Except green. They don't use a lot of green.

The important part is getting a bulb with over 6000k.
