green,

   I use flourescent bulbs.  24 inches long, 20 watts, 2 per
fixture, one cool white, one plant/aquarium.  These are the
ones that fit my shelves.  I keep them no more than 2 
inches above the plants, suspended by chains.  This allows
me to hang them with one end raised, so I can arrange the
seedlings shortest-to-tallest and still keep the lights the 
right distance to prevent legginess.
