Its that enough sun? should I put it on the 3-4 hours side or the 4-6 side?.

Different plants like different amounts of light. I would recommend finding out what the plants you are growing do best with. If it's a live plant there is usually a tag in the pot that tells you. If you are starting from
seeds the back of the package usually tells you. I would probably opt for placing it in a place that gets the most sun if possible. You can always shade it later if you need to. Most strawberry plant variety's like full sun, also I understand that most lettuces plants
don't like full sun. So growing them both with the same amount of light might be a little tricky to get them both to do well.

Also I need to know what inexpensive light will work for seedling?

fluorescent or compact fluorescent lighting (
cfl's) should be just fine for seedlings. Generally speaking the stronger you make the fluorescent lighting the better they will do.

I planted cilantro and lettuce seeds, they spouted great.. but got long and skinny and all of them are dying...

They tend to grow long and skinny because they are stretching to reach the light. So this is the result of the lighting being too weak.
