when you say regular desk light do you mean incandesant bulbs?
you might be better off with lower wattage Compact Floros( just add a few more bulbs)
they have beter light spectrum for plants, approx 3-4 times by wattage(thats just a guess from memory, dont flame me!)
also,
most of my foafs in Canada use bigger lights indoors during winter, or, let them go dormant till spring(not a good plan with seedlings though)
Orion, be that as it may, many pachanois have far out tested peruviuauns in my garden.
