Bingo, Scott. You've said it very well.

I also use fluorescents in winter, also in my basement where no natural light penetrates. My setup is 4 bulbs across. I use 40-watt bulbs, the strongest I can get. Generally I use cool-white or "daylight" bulbs, tho I've also tried bulbs advertised as UV, with uncertain results.

I've never had a problem with burning unless a leaf actually touches a bulb.
