For easy to transplant vegs like tomato start the seedlings in a covered pie pan or something and then transplant to flats later. You can germinate without light, but as soon as they start to crack the surface move under lights.
You can use special grow tubes, or T5 fixtures for more efficiency but I don't think it's worth the cost for homeowner use. Just keep the fixture clean and replace bulbs as soon as output diminishes.
