If your doing it on the cheap i would recommend cfls as they are cheap to buy, have a long lumen life, dont get that hot and are cheap to run.

I would reccomend this light to you as i own it:
300w Blue Spectrum CFL hydroponics reflector grow light on eBay (end time 09-Apr-10 16:12:21 BST)

I know it looks costly but you need to remember that in the long run you will get atleast an oz of chronic for around 80 quid which is deals on wheels.

That light comes with a veg light, which you need to vegative growth for you plant. You will need to buy a seperate bulb for flowering which is around £30, this will produce the buds.

Hope this helps getting you started but read a lot of the forums on here and you will learn what to do in no time.
