Recommend a lighting system?

I want to sell VFT'S in my store and found some 74" tall rack lighting systems (on ebay)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....84&rd=1

with adjustable lamps; but they are only two 48 inch flourescent fixtures per rack. I think I can adjust them as close as I want but is two 20 watt lamps enough even if I can get them very close?

At home I use four, (two soft white and a cool white and a grow light).

I don't want to drop almost $200.00 for something that will be useless.  I don't want to build one either; don't have the time.

If anyone can suggest a better system, I'm all ears.
 
I got an e-mail responce to the lighting question on ebay from the seller.

He says it will do just fine; but. . . he is the seller so I still don't know if I will order.
 
Lowes has a metal 5 tier shelf that a few members on here use including me. It is 74" high, 48" long, and 18" wide. I think is it around $80. I use two 48" shop lights per self and it works great. I would make an awesome display in a store. I could send you some pictures if you want.

Thanks for the response,

Unfortunately, I don't have a Lowe's here (yet).

Home Depot, perhaps?

Did you have to rig the lighting yourself?
 
I am sure Home Depot has it also.  For the lighting you just use the 48" shoplights that hold 2 bulbs.  Just use a piece of chain and hang 2 fixtures under each shelf. It is very easy.
