I have this 4 foot T5 with a stand, this shelf on top of a side table, this 2 foot T5 hooked to the bottom shelf with paper clips and key rings (lol), daisy-chained to this other 2 foot T5 hooked to the top shelf the same way. They are all run on two of these timers which are on ~10 hrs/day.
I have two of these plant racks from Lowe's in front of my south and east facing windows, I jimmied out the bottom shelf and sort of rested it on my windowsill and the edge of the stand (lol again). It's all very MacGuyvered.
I have something like this:

Seedlings need light that is close and strong, otherwise they will become “leggy”, which basically means they are stretching towards light. If they become too leggy, they will be weak and probably non-viable.
Im in the US, but I bought the 2' version of this as my first grow light and so far so good https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T0CPI6A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_x7bbzbMVPDGYX
Make sure whatever light you buy goes to 6500k light temp, that is the same brightness as regular sunlight. I also suggest investing in a timer for the light of you don't already have one!
About $50 on Amazon! It had some reviews that made me weary, but I have not had any issues.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T0CPI6A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got mine on amazon : iPower 54W 4 Feet T5 Grow Light... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T0CPI6A?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Yeah, those are definitely easier to find & less expensive. My current lights are hanging from one of these stands, though, and I would have to figure out how to make those shop lights work with that setup. I dunno if I'm that creative lol
Last year I kept them in the furnace room in the basement with this light https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T0CPI6A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0J6RBbW7N5H8Y but it always felt like I was going to visit my plant children in prison.
The window faces south, it gets a fair amount of light after the trees lose their leaves but it’s not completely unshaded. I might try that for a bit.
Thanks for the advice :)
