This is the list of what I bought.
Three bags of seed starting mix.
4 Pro hex seed starting trays.
5 packs of plant labels 100 all together
12 metal 4 inch octagon boxes.
12 porcelain light fixtures.
20 3/8 snap in romex connectors.
50 feet of 2 conductor 14 AWG romex.
12 100 W 6500K CFL lights / 3 4 packs.
The total cost was $150.

I had the boards, screws, chains, pulleys, ropes, hooks, stud finder, wire strippers, needle nose pliers, channel locks, screwdriver, battery operated drill, saw, ladder, tape measuer, timer and hammer.
Plus years of experience doing this stuff.
For the average person it would be far better to go out and buy a stand with the lights and be done with it.

One year I used a stack of books on each end of 2 4 foot florescents to raise and lower them.
