    It depends on the type lamp. It's been my experience that growing under fluorescent lights is best accomplished using a warm white and a cool white bulb in a two bulb fixture. Distance from lamp to foliage should depend on the plant. The more sun a plant needs, as in citrus, the closer it should be to the bulbs. Warm white and cool white give the same light spectrum as grow bulbs for a fraction of cost. If your plant is tall, you may want to position the fixtures vertically and put the plant between the fixtures so the entire plant gets light instead of just the canopy.

    I grew cactus and succulents for about 4 years under fluorescent lights. I used one cool white and one warm white bulb in a 2 bulb fixture. I suggest using two fixtures, one on each side, to customers wanting to grow a tall plant.
