Nope, you won't need those lights, fluorescents will work, unless what you
are trying to grow is marijuana! ;-0


They'll work with that, too. [so I've heard.g] What I also
'heard' was that closing the whole box in might work to keep things
out of sight, but the unmistakable smell will escape no matter what
you do.

Aha, spoken like a man with vast "growing" experience! ;-)

For growing great, healthy looking, but not all that great tasting,
tomatoes, I've added a 60watt incandescent to a pair of 4'
flourescents in a 6' grow box. [I used shoplights- which go for about
$10 USD- & whatever bulbs were in them]

I heated mine from the bottom with an old waterbed heater under a 3-4"
sand bed.
