I mix my lights up in my grow areas//// using the 300 watt "incubator" bulb with the large clamp, together with the 26 cfl using 2700 lumins seems to bring me the best results with seedlings and cuttings.

Using the highest lumins on a cfl on soft white gets me good results with tropicals. the typical shop light bulb seems bit cold ( the long tube type) , so I warm it up with a halogen shop light at the same time for 6 hours. It is a good mix here for me downstairs. At work, there is an office that has the under cabinet tubes and his plants are all very happy. But, he doesn't grow seeds. I do.
This is an example of what is in the closet here.. the bulb in the celling is warm, the bulb on the door frame is bright, but cool, both are cfls.
