Installing Fluorescent Light?

Hello,
I decided to grow pepper plants in the closet of my apartment and would like to install 2 fluorescent Light Bulbs (tubes) right above them. How do I go about doing that? I need a fixture right? Can I plug the fixture right into the wall socket? What's the most inexpensive way? The plant has to grow, and I will make it happen. Thanks in advance.

For several years, I grew plants, very well, with fluorescent lighting (a "Shop Light" fixture ) plugged into a 24 hour timer. I gave them food, water, and just over 12 hours of light each day to produce a jungle. Some fixtures don't come with plugs on them. It will be helpful to find one that has it already if you are not comfortable with installing it yourself.

Some plants like light with more red in it. For them you can get "grow light" bulbs. These come in 2 flavors, incandescent or fluorescent. I wouldn't try leaving a heat lamp on plants that you like for any length of time.
