No, unfortunately. The lights need to be real close, like 2-4" away, depending on how many watts they use. If your days are not cold, you could set them outside and let them soak up the sun. Just do it gradually, lest them get burned. Search for "hardening off."

Thanks Mike! I might be able to find a lamp we aren't using somewhere and put that next to it. I was just hoping to speed them up a little. It's pretty cold here in Iowa still so I wouldn't trust them outside yet.

I guess I can just wait and see how they do with just sunlight too. :)

Your plants don't have to be large in order to plant them in the ground, but the soil and air temps have to be warm enough. Go to a local nursery(not a big box)and find out when your last frost date is for your area.
Personally, I don't think an overhead light will be enough. The plants need to be very near the light source. Maybe you could set a table near the window and put your compact flo bulbs in any table lamps you have and place the lamps on the table opposite the window with the plants between. That still may not be enough light though, and your plants will stretch reaching for it.
Another option is to make a cold frame using whatever materials you have on hand(a large tote with a clear plastic cover for example, or even a cardboard box covered with clear plastic)so you could set smaller plants out sooner in that, or use empty milk jugs for cloches for individual plants in the ground.
The broccoli can take cooler weather so can go out sooner. Expect the toms and peppers to get leggy, so pot them up deeper when you need to until they can go out(but don't forget to harden them off).
One more option is to winter sow a few back-up seeds. It's still early enough to do it and you won't have to harden anything off. There is a winter sowing forum here and I'm posting a link to THE place to get winter sowing info. Hope my rambling helps a little...

I am in Iowa too and I have a light setup, but have been setting my seedlings outside for short amounts of time to get some real sun. A lamp near the plants wouldn't hurt.

noinwi - Right now my plants are on a bakers rack type thing next to the window I could probably fit a lamp on the actual rack with them (assuming I can find one in my house or at goodwill or something) so that could be an idea.
I also like the idea of the cold frame. I hadn't heard of that. I will have to look it up.
According to the almanac online the last frost date for my city is April 25 so I have a few more weeks. :)
My broccoli is doing really well too. I started them less than 2 weeks ago and they are all at least 2" tall with a few leaves.
I will also check out the winter sow forum. I haven't heard of that before either. I am such a newb. I knew joining an online forum would help me!
Thanks again!

Could you post some pictures of your plants and where they are growing? That way we could help you more.
