Yah really, Try to find like a shelf or a closet that you can do it in that will allow you to keep everything tucked away and clean. You dont want anyone snoopin around if they can come in.
Try using CFL's I actually Just did a set up of 3 CFL's all wired in little shelf closet thing, it works out really well. The CFLS are low on heat and realitivly inexpensive, you can find more info on them In the Newbie forum I believe, Otherwise Great luck man!
