How To Start Impatiens Walleriana From Seed?

Hi folks. This will be my first attempt at growing under lights. I've decided to try some Impatiens Walleriana. I've read that they can be difficult. I'm using two 40 watt florescents with cool white bulbs and germination mat.

The sowing instructions on the seed package recommend that the flat be sealed in a poly bag and not to exclude light while waiting to germinate.

How much artificial light should I give them until they germinate? If the flat is sealed in a

polythene bag wouldn't direct light raise the temp too much? Untile germination, how many hours per day should I run the lights and how far away from the flat should they be while the flat is covered?

I posted this message on the "Growing From Seed" forum a few days ago but I haven't rec'd a response. I'm hoping someone here can help.

Thanks!
