Still not decided on using hydroponics and grow lights to grow your veggies? Take a look at Plantlighting.
They have a great section of frequently asked questions on grow lights and hydroponics. They will help you calculate the size of plant light you need based on the size of the growing area along with the type of plants you plan to grow. And even factor in the natural light the plants will get. They even offer a cool chart to help you to choose the right plant light for your needs.
They also take you through the decision between metal halide and HPS grow lights. Hint, HPS is best for flowering or fruit producing stages. Plus they even talk about switchable lighting fixtures. A switchable ballast is a remote system with the ballast and reflector independent of each other. They come with both a MH & HPS ballast. You can choose between the two with a flip of the switch.
After you know all you need to know about grow lights, then you can start on their frequently asked questions on hydroponics. Here they explain everything you need to know about hydroponics and its advantages over growing in soil.
