I mean tube light do the job fine, but its just the thing of loosing so much light.

Although tube light can provide excellent side lighting for tall plants.
very true lip, i use 2 double lamp 48" fixture's with 4 daylight bulbs for veg, but i veg 8 at a time, so i use every single bit of light emmitted.

all according to your grow, and space.
