Sure but understand that I bought these three years ago (and they continue to perform well) but there are now less expensive LED shop lights with essentially the same specs for less. You should shop around for price. Someone in my local gardening group on Facebook just bought 2 at Walmart for 1/2 the price I paid.

There's a lot of good information in this thread already so I'll just share why I'm using heat mats and lights and what I purchased 3 years ago and have served me well.

Total cost was under $100.00.

My backyard garden space is just over 1000 sq feet (about 93 sq meters). I wanted to reduce my expenses by growing seedlings for transplant instead of buying them at a local greenhouse/nursery. I also wanted to grow varieties that most nurseries don't carry around here. I don't have enough natural light in the room where I grow seedlings and needed to supplement with LEDs. The room is also significantly colder than the rest of my house and so heat mats were a necessity. I normally plant 70-80 peppers plants each year. I sow seed into cell packs indoors in early March and target early to mid-May for transplant (central VA, Zone 7a).

There may be better or less expensive products available but I've used these very successfully 3 years in a row and I would buy them again.
