How true. Yet early sowing needs artificial light as it's too cold outside. If you can keep your seedlings close to a window facing south you may get enough lignt but not under every latitude.
Instead of buying T5/8 tubes I wonder if it wouldn't be more sensible to buy LED lights, they emit practically no heat, you don't need fans and need very little electricity.
Visiting Amazon can be helpful, some lights (110V) designed for lighting a room can fit a tomato nursery perfectly.
