Don't think so but if you go down to home depot or walmart you can get those flourescent lights for under counters and such. They cost about $10 here and will work like a charm

Yeah, save 'em for the holidays. Shhot for some fluoros and look for really cool white temperature ratings -- 5500k is nice and blue.

On the lighting issue:

I just bought one of the small flourescent lights and am wondering if it's best to squeeze it into my case so it's close to the shrooms, or else i can mount it so it's about 3 feet away...the direct light isn't as good at that distance but seems reasonable...is one way better?

Sorry to hijack rainbow :wink:

i personal mount mine about 5 inches above the rubermaid container this seems to work great. they realy don;t need much light so if at 3 Feet it is still lighting the inside of the container that should be just fine. What i found works best for me is to also upen a shade in the room to allow a little indirect sunlight in for a few hours aday.

hope that was helpful
