The "experts" say you should buy the cheapest light fixture you can find
and use one cold white tube and one warm white tube.  If you are growing
plants for flowers you might want to add some red tungsten lights.  The
so-called "gro-lites" give off less light and lumens is the name of the
game. By mixing the warm and cool white tubes you get a fairly flat
spectral response.
