critterologist said: Sandy, I got similar ones but only the tubes, supposed to work with my existing fixtures (I'll find out next week LOL). Do you use them only for seedlings or do you get plants to flower and fruit with them?

I mainly use them for starting seedlings to transplant, but the Red Robin tomato plants have flowered and fruited like crazy under them as well.

My understanding is that you want "full spectrum" lights with a Kelvin rating of 5000-6000; if you look at the Amazon links above and scroll down a ways the technical specifications for the lights are shown.
