Hi - I asked this question in the Daylily Forum and it's not getting much of a response.

I'm interested in using high-intensity lights for raising daylily seedlings. I'm guessing hydroponic people know more about lights than most. Can you give me some advice for selecting one? I don't have a greenhouse, but would like to set one up in my potting shed so I can take care of a bunch of daylily seedlings I plan to sprout this winter.

What is the difference between the various kinds and what should I look for for this use?
I've been checking the hydroponic websites and I'm getting pretty confused.

Metal halide or high pressure sodium? I have found some fixtures that will accept one bulb of each. How much wattage?

Thanks in advance.
