It was actually proven that LEDs are more efficient than fluorescent lamps in stimulating seed starting as well as germination. Compared to traditional fluorescent lamps, LED light could be an alternative lighting source, particularly at the seed germination stage. Besides, LEDs come in more neutral white colors that will also work for seed starting. My uncle installed a bunch of LEDs in his basement to grow his seeds, and they all seem to do really great! At some point, he even got obsessed with a color changing light bulb, which he installed at the entrance, and I'll tell ya, it looks amazing too!
