Charlie your math is great up to a point.  Extend it out a bit more and you 
will see even greater savings on your set up.  You can start 8 flats of 72 
cells with that set up, or you can start 4 flats of 72 cells (288 plants) 
then transplant out some to larger pots and some will hit the garden.  I 
think you can probably run at least 600 plants per year thru that set up.  
Easily.  Then multiply that by - oh say 5 years- and you have 3000 plants and 
the light set up will have cost you (not counting electricity) less than $20 
per year -- awesome! ! ! !
