Look up aquarium supplies and see what they have. I haven't looked at the shorter ones, but there are probably some in the 2 foot range. Pay attention to the color temperature of the bulbs; as mentioned, the ones sold for salt-water aquarium use aren't that good at growing plants. Leo Martin Zone 9? Phoenix Arizona USA
