I have a perfect spot to start seeds under a light on top of my fridge. The fixture is a can light, with a flood type light in it. My question: Can I buy a florescent bulb and stick that in there? What do I need to look for in a bulb? Will any florescent bulb work?

I have a florescent shop light (two bulbs, 24 inches or so). I just really don't want to rig something up to make that work if I can figure this can light thing out. My seedlings on top of the fridge would stay out of the way. I could even put a little fan up there.

Sorry if this question has been answered. I tried to do a little search, but had no luck.
