My comment is as much light as you can get. I have used CFL if you can find the bigger ones. I make my own reflector from air duct tube and socket.
I just wanted to warn you that if you have grow lights going, sooner or later you are going to have a knock on the door and the nice men will say "can I come in?" then "what are you growing?", Don't get excited--it happen quite often and no problem as long as you are not growing the wrong stuff. A red LED unit will really attract them. Been there.

So those LEDs attract attention too? Good thing I'm only growing tomatoes because when I had the seedlings out on the porch that darn light lit up the whole neighborhood (it's very very dark here at night as I have a forest across the street)....you could see it from down the street ....my sons thought it was a "cool" nightlight!
