I see absolutely nothing wrong with the 2' shop lights. Yes, I know that most say the 4' is the only way to go . . . but like phoebesviolets said (basically) - not everyone has a 4' shelving unit. It really depends on the number of plants you have per shelf/light, anyway. Here is a pic of the bakers rack it took me a few weeks to refinish . . . it still is not complete, but I am working on it here and there. Each of the 3 lights are the 2'ers from Walmart. I did go and purchase a few WS 24" bulbs . . . so now there is 1 WS and 1 cool white in each fixture (which, according to "Growing To Show . . . ", is a great combination!). Someday I will do something about the top shelf and how to light it. I don't want to put anything into the ceiling now, until we decide if we will stay in this house or not . . . I do have another 2' light, if I do decide to hang it from a ceiling. We'll see.

I am anticipating babies from the leaf DS stuck last month any time . . . he will be so excited! Your granddaughter is doing better than me on streps, Gail!
